Answer: option C) enables the "let-down" reflex to occur when a woman breastfeeds her baby.

Explanation:

Oxytocin is a hormone secreted by the posterior pituitary gland. It stimulates the contractions of smooth muscles such as

- uterus facilitating childbirth

- ducts of the mammary glands resulting in ejection of milk. Thus, it is also called as milk-let-down-ejection factor.

So, option C is the correct answer

Answer: C). enables the "let-down" reflex to occur when a woman breastfeeds her baby.

Explanation: Oxytocin is a hormone which has two main functions in females. Oxytocin plays a vital role in labour by increasing uterine movement, and causes contraction of the uterine muscles. It triggers the ejection of milk (let down effect) from the mammary gland by stimulating the contraction of the muscles surrounding the breast. It is secreted by the posterior pituitary gland.

Which describes an oxidation reaction that occurs during cellular respiration?
Yuri [45]

Answer: <u>Option 4; Oxygen gains electrons and hydrogen to form water. </u>

Respiration is a process where glucose is used and energy is released stored in this molecule. Oxygen is used during respiration as well and it gains the electrons and hydrogen to form water. And, gain of electrons is an oxidation reaction. So answer is option 4.

Since, oxygen is consumed during respiration, option 1 is incorrect.

Loss of electrons is reduction, so option 2 is also incorrect.

Glucose is used in respiration, thus option 3 is incorrect.

The IA allele encodes for the production of ____________ antigen, the IB allele encodes for ____________ antigen production and
scoray [572]

The IA allele encodes the A blood group antigen, IB allele encodes B, whereas, i encodes O blood group antigen.

<h3>What is antigen?</h3>

Any substance that causes the body to make an immune response against foreign substance. Antigens include toxins, chemicals, bacteria, viruses etc that come from outside the body.

So we can conclude that the IA allele encodes the A blood group antigen, IB allele encodes B, whereas, i encodes O blood group antigen.

Where does the protien-building begin? A. enzyme B. cytoskeleton C. DNA D. cell membrane
galben [10]

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Protein building begins on the DNA strand. Usually, the DNA contains genetic information which flows from nucleic acids to proteins in a series of steps:

1) Replication: this is the first step. It involves the copying of parental DNA into daughter copies.

2) Transcription: this is the second step. Here, parts of the coded genetic message in DNA are copied precisely in the form of RNA - in the form of messenger RNA (mRNA).

3) Translation: this is the third step. Here, genetic message coded in mRNA is translated, on the ribosomes, into a protein with a specific sequence of amino acids.

Simply put, DNA makes RNA, and RNA makes protein.

How do you think a code consisting of so few characters can encode the instructions for building thousand of different proteins?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Every gene has a code which is responsible for the formation of thousands of protein necessary for normal functioning of the cell.

Explanation:

In genes codes are present. In these codes have information about the formation of protein. Genes is just like a recipe book which contains information about making different types of protein which is necessary for the cell. So codes in the genes are work according to the instruction of the cell for making a specific protein. These codes contains characters which is sent by the genes to the ribosomes of the cell where protein are formed.
