Vitamin E is an example of a a fat soluble vitamin together with vitamins A, D and K. It is carried to the liver and other tissues by lipoproteins. Vitamin E functions to protect phospholipids in cell  membranes from damage by free radicals. It is also important to note that a high intake of vitamin E can interfere with vitamin K's blood clotting activity.

Vitamin E is carried to the liver and other tissues by lipoproteins

Vitamin E is hydrophobic. It can be absorbed just like every other dietary lipid. Vitamin E is absorbed into intestinal epithelial cells after the solubilization of bile acid, it is incorporated into chylomicrons (they are lipoproteins particles that are made of up phospholipids, cholesterol, triglycerides and proteins), and move into the blood through the lymph system.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Vitamin E is separated from chlomicrons during circulation and much is reabsorbed by the liver and repackaged into a low density lipoprotein which is then released into the blood.  

Vitamin E is then transported in blood bound to different classes of lipoproteins and it is absorbed by the tissue and spread throughout the body.

The sources of Vitamin E are so many. It can be found in vegetable oil, including wheat germ, sunflower, safflower oil and foods such as margarine. It is found in green vegetables (broccoli, spinach).  

Vitamin E can also be found in nut and seed (hazelnut, sun flower seeds), sea food (abalone, salmon),  

Vitamin E performs different functions in the body, and these include:

  • Vitamin helps to boost the body immunity
  • It helps to support the function of the cells
  • It is used widen blood vessels and reduce the risk of blood clot.

KEYWORDS:

  • lipoproteins
  • vitamin E
  • liver
  • transport
  • tissues

The dominant allele is for black fur. The recessive allele is for white fur.
Leokris [45]

Answer:

FF , Black fur.

ff, white fur.

Explanation:

Genotype may be defined as the genetic constitution of the organism whereas phenotype depends on the genotype for the physical expression of the trait.

Let the genotype of the dominant fur (black ) be D and the genotype of white fur (recessive)  is f. homozygous means the individual should have the same allele for the trait. A mouse with homozygous dominant has genotype FF . This mouse has black fur. A mouse homozygous for the recessive trait has the genotype f. This mouse has white fur.

Thus, the answer is FF , Black fur.

ff, white fur.
