Answer: adenylyl cyclase inositol triphosphate mainly known as IP3 causes the release of Calcium ions directly from the inracellular stores and causea contraction.

Explanation:

IP3, inositol phosphate is a second messenger a signaling molecule. It is made by hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), a phospholipid that is located in the plasma membrane, by an enzyme phospholipase C.

IP3 binds to the calcium channels and opens Ca2+ channels that are embedded in the ER membrane, releasing Ca2+ into the cytosol. Calcium ions released may cause contraction and regulate the Ca2+ channels in the membranes.

Answer:

recombinant DNA

Explanation:

In molecular biology, recombinant DNA molecules are genetic sequences formed by combining DNA material from different sources (i.e., organisms, populations, species, etc). Proteins produced from DNA recombinant molecules are known as recombinant proteins. Molecular cloning is the most widely used technique in molecular biology in order to produce recombinant DNA molecules. In this technique, a cloning vector such as, for example, a plasmid of a bacterium, is used to insert a foreign DNA fragment into another cell which is then expressed in the host cell.
