Answer:
d. nitrogen-containing base
.
Explanation:
A nucleotide comprises a phosphate group, a pentose sugar and a nitrogenous base (nitrogen-containing base).
A nitrogenous base is a type of aromatic heterocyclic organic compound which essentially has nitrogen in it. The base can be a purine or pyrimidine. Purine nitrogenous bases are adenine (A) and guanine (G) while pyrimidine nitrogenous bases are cytosine (C), thiamine (T) and uracil (U).
Till the time a base is not attached to covalently linked phosphate group and a pentose sugar, it is known as nucleoside. But as soon as we attach any nitrogenous base to the nucleoside, a nucleotide is formed. So it means a nucleotide is nucleoside + nitrogenous base.
Examples are as under:
A nucleotide which has adenine as nitrogenous base is known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) while a nucleotide which has guanine as nitrogenous base is known as Guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP).
Answer:
A <u><em>receptor</em></u> is a protein that recognizes and responds to a signal.
Explanation:
A receptor is a protein molecule present on the cells on which the signalling molecules can bind and generate a physiological response. Some receptor molecules can also respond to Sun and light. Each type of cell has specific receptors molecules and hence can respond to specific signals. The receptor molecules hence tend to receive signals for a cell. Molecules such as hormones bind to the receptors.
Incomplete dominance refers to a genetic situation in which one allele does not completely dominate another allele, and therefore results in a new phenotype.
Cell is our microscopic structure. We have Trillions of cells in our body, which plays very important roll. Our every tissue, organ, organ system, our whole body has composed of cells. In order to make a nice and informed decision for our health, we must need to understand our body at cellular level
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Increase in eosinophils.
Explanation:
The leukocytes are the white blood cell that plays an important role in the immune system. The white blood cell include eosinophil, basophil, neutrophil and monocytes.
The allergic reactions that are caused by hay fever or asthma is marked by the excess increase in the number of eosinophils in the body. The eosinophils are the first to reach at the site of parasitic infections and protect the body during the allergic reactions.
Thus, the answer is eosinophils.
