Answer:
D) Expressed in the stomach, but not in the cells of the small intestine
Explanation:
Answer:
When an offspring's trait is identical to the parent and it's siblings, we say that it is a
n inherited trait.
Explanation:
Inherited traits are when you get features from your parents which are passed on to your genes.
Answer:
Absorption and secretion would be impossible within the digestive tract.
Explanation:
Epithelium is one of the tissues found in humans. It is classified as either simple or stratified depending on the number of cell layers. Simple epithelial tissues have one layer of cells while stratified have many layers of cells. Based on the shape, epithelial tissues can either be squamous, columnar or cuboidal.
Due to the single-layer of the simple epithelial tissues, they line the walls of secretory or absorptive organs e.g organs of digestive tract. The stratified epithelium is majorly for protective function due to the number of cell layers it possess and not a good type of epithelium for locations where absorption and secretion of substances is common e.g digestive tract.
Hence, if a genetic mutation causes a person's digestive tract to have stratified columnar epithelium instead of simple columnar epithelium, ABSORPTION AND SECRETION of chemical substances, which is a key feature of organs (stomach, intestine) that make up digestive tracts, will be impossible.
Answer:
The correct answer is option (b) "addition of a drug that prevents the α subunit from exchanging GDP for GTP".
Explanation:
The G protein is a name given to a family of proteins that act as a switch in diverse cellular processes, transmitting signals from outside to inside of the cells. When a G protein receptor is activated by a neurotransmitter such as dopamine, the alpha subunit exchanges its GDP for a GTP and disassociates G-protein itself. An addition of a drug that prevents this action would prevent G protein disassociation, which would enhance the effect of stimulating G protein that acetylcholine does.
The phylum Arthropoda contains a wide diversity of animals with hard exoskeletons and jointed appendages. Many familiar species belong to the phylum Arthropoda—insects, spiders, scorpions, centipedes, and millipedes on land; crabs, crayfish, shrimp, lobsters, and barnacles in water (Fig. 3.72).
