Cells in a cat's pancreas produce insulin, but the cells in its heart do not. Which statement best explains this?

Biology
1 answer:

7 0

Answer:

The correct answer is: A. The genes for insulin production are not activated in heart cells.

Explanation:

<u>DNA </u><u>is present in practically every cell in an organism</u>, but not every cell performs the same tasks as the rest. This happens because genes in the DNA   <u>code for different types of proteins</u>, from enzymes to transporters, that impact greatly on the <u>function</u> of a cell; and these genes can be activated or inactivated which will directly correlate to the type of cell and the function that it has.

<u>If the cells in the pancreas can produce insulin but the cells in the heart can't it's because the cells in the heart have the genes for insulin production inactivated</u>.

The amount of mitochondria and ribosomes does not directly affect the production of insulin.

A boy received one dominant allele for brown hair from his father and a recessive allele for blonde hair from his mother. ​Which
Damm [24]

Well say the father had the genotype BB (dominant brown) and his mom had the genotype bb (recessive blonde).

If the boy got only one allele of brown hair and his phenotype is brown hair, then his genetic type is Bb

He is heterozygous (has two different alleles). But since brown hair is dominant, his phenotype is brown hair. But he does have the blonde recessive allele.

Hope this helps!
