An alternative method for examining the effects of fatty acids on blood flow would be to measure changes in blood pressure. If b

lood pressure were measured, one would predict that it would be lowest in which of the following?
Capillaries


The pumping of the heart is the major contributor to pressure in the blood vessels. Blood pressure:
artery > arteriole > capillaries > venule > vein

Answer:

As the blood pressure in each of the blood vessels is measured, it can be predicted to be lowest in the capillaries.

Explanation:

Options for this question are:

  • <em>Artery.</em>
  • <em>Arteriole.</em>
  • <em>Capillaries.</em>
  • <em>Venule.</em>
  • <em>Vein.</em>

Once the blood leaves the heart, it is distributed in a network of arterial vessels -arteries and arterioles- that bridge the venules and veins through the capillaries. Blood pressure depends on the pumping strength of the heart and the force that blood produces on the vessel walls. There is a marked difference between arterial and venous pressure. Some conclusions can be drawn from this:  

  • <em>Blood pressure is higher the closer the vessel is to the heart. </em>
  • <em>The larger the vessel, the more blood is contained and the more blood pressure is recorded. </em>

Based on this, it can be deduced that the blood vessels with the lowest pressure are the capillaries, with very thin walls and where gas and nutrients or metabolites enter and leave the vessel.

The question gives an answer, but does not explain why.

What is produced during m phase
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Cell division occurs during M phase, which consists of nuclear division (mitosis) followed by cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis). The DNA is replicated in the preceding S phase; the two copies of each replicated chromosome (called sister chromatids) remain glued together by cohesins.

Oxana [17]

<u>Option A</u>) A nucleotide substitution in the coding region of the lactase gene that interferes with the interaction between lactase and lactose.

<h3>What mutation causes lactase persistance?</h3>

A mutation in a single nucleotide, in which thymine replaces cytosine, in the region that controls the expression of the lactase gene is what causes the lactase persistence trait.

This mutation first occurred in Hungry, and then it spread out to other regions of Europe, Africa, and Asia.

This mutation allowed humans to digest milk during adulthood.

According to this information, we can assume that the correct option is A). A nucleotide substitution in the coding region of the lactase gene that interferes with the interaction between lactase and lactose.
