Which of the following will lower blood pressure? Which of the following will lower blood pressure? angiotensin II atrial natriu
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Angiotensin II atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP) lowers blood pressure.

Explanation:

Increase in plasma volume leads to increase in blood pressure and a decrease in plasma level also leads to a decrease in the blood pressure. ANP is an enzyme which stimulates the decrease in blood levels through certain factors thereby causing a decrease in the blood pressure.

Meanwhile ADH stimulates increase in blood plasma levels thereby increasing the blood pressure.

What is mutation? why are mutations more serious when they occur in a sex cell?​
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

A mutation is the changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes. Mutations in sex cells are more serious because they are heritable and affect the next generation.

During DNA replication, a DNA strand that has the bases GGTCTA produces a strand with the bases

CCAGAT , or B.

The reason why is because A only pairs with T, and G only pairs with C. So, if you have a strand with GGTCTA, the only possible pairing for that to replicate is CCAGAT.

Bioflix activity: meiosis -- comparing mitosis and meiosis can you identify the similarities and differences between mitosis and
Natali5045456 [20]
1. Similarities:
they are both processes of cell division by which cells reproduce.
They share several steps of the process(prophase, metaphase, anaphase e telophase, cytokinesis) but meiosis has another division also with those same steps.
In both cases the cell duplicates its DNA by pulling it apart into two sets, place the sets on each end of the cell, and then divide down the middle.

Both produce new cells based on their parent cells' genes.

2. The differences:

Mitosis:

- has 1 division per cycle
- one cell produces 2 new cells
- the genetic information in the mother-cell and the daughter-cells are the same. ( the number of chromosomes is also the same)
- it occurs in somatic cells
Meiosis:
- two divisions per cycle.
- one cell when divides produces 4 new cells
- the new cells have different genetic information. mixes the  the genetic material from the parent cells
- the number of chromosomes of the daughter cells is half of the mother's.
