Answer:
Voluntary muscles are muscles that you control; involuntary muscles are muscles that are controlled by the brain, etc and doesn't need your control in order to contract...
Answer:
Women who carry one copy of the mutated gene still have normal color vision because they have another copy, which is not mutated, in the other X chromosome that will be the dominant one. As a result, the women are carriers of the mutated gene but not color blind.
Explanation:
Colorblindness is a sex-linked mutation. A woman has two X chromosomes, while a man has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The mutated gene that causes color blindness is on the X chromosome, and it is OPN1LW. So if a woman has one mutated OPN1LW in one of her two X chromosomes, the OPN1LW gene in the other X chromosome will be the dominant one stopping the woman from being colorblind.
In the case of men, as they only have one X chromosome, if there is a mutation on the OPN1LW in the X chromosome, the men will be colorblind because there is no extra copy of the gene, as it is in women.
Answer:
B. Glucagon
Explanation:
Glucagon is a pancreatic hormone, secreted by the alpha cells of islets of Langerhans. Whenever the blood glucose level falls, glucagon is released to increase the blood glucose levels. This function of glucagon is quite opposite to the function of insulin and hence both are antagonistic hormones. Insulin reduces the blood glucose where as glucagon increases the blood glucose.
Glucoagon is large polypeptide of 29 amino acids. Since it helps in increasing the blood glucose homeostatic levels it is called as hyperglycemic hormone. It does so by stimulating certain processes such as:
- Stimulating Glycogenolysis i.e breakdown of glycogen to release more glucose from liver.
- Stimulating Gluconeogenesis i.e. synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources like proteins.
- Glucagon inhibits the process of glycogenesis i.e. synthesis of glycogen, the storage form of glucose.
I hope this helps you!! :)
Answer:
1) d. observe phenomenon; generate hypothesis, conduct experiment, accept, reject, or modify hypothesis.
C. A study that compares a aroup of people with diabetes to a similar aroup of people without diabetes is an example of a case-control study.
Explanation:
Scientific method is a step by step procedure ranging from observing a problem to actual experimentation that aims at investigating a problem. The steps involved in the scientific method are as follows:
a)observe phenomenon; This precedes every experiment in the scientific method.
b) generate hypothesis: This is a testable explanation given as a possible solution to the observed problem.
c) conduct experiment: The hypothesis is tested via experimentation.
d) accept, reject, or modify hypothesis: Based on the result of the experiment, the hypothesis can be rejected, accepted or even modified.
Question 2:
Case control study is a type of study design that uses or compares a group of affected individuals (by a disease) called CASES and unaffected individuals called CONTROL. In this case, A study that compares a group of people with diabetes (cases) to a similar aroup of people without diabetes (control) is an example of a case-control study.
