Cyclin B1, a key cell cycle regulatory protein in vertebrates, is mostly cytosolic before mitosis. Early in mitosis, however, th

Answer:

Phosphorylation within the nuclear export signal interferes with the function of the  signal.

Explanation:

In biochemistry, phosphorylation is the addition of a phosphate group (PO4) to a protein or other molecule. Phosphorylation is a major player in protein regulation mechanisms, preventing protein-catalyzed reaction product from accumulating in the body causing problems.

However, in some cases phosphorylation may cause nuclear accumulation of a protein in the nucleus of the cell. An example of this is the protein shown in the question above. In this case, phosphorylation in the nuclear export signal interferes with the signal function, resulting in protein accumulation in the nucleus.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Option B) functions to increase sodium reabsorption.

Explanation:

Aldosterone is an hormone secreted by the cortex of the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland is situated at the superior poles of the right and left kidneys.

Aldosterone regulates sodium homeostasis and as such helps to control blood volume and blood pressure.

Aldosterone is secreted in response to decreased blood pressure (hypotension) to increase sodium reabsorption from urine, sweat, and the gut. Also excessive aldosterone levels (too high sodium) can lead to high blood pressure (hypertension).

Artemon [7]

Answer:
