Answer:

in this individual , at the time of presentation's ratio of insulin is GREATER than glucagon.

Explanation:

the reason for this is that as the patient is HYPOGLYCEMIC ,it means that the blood glucose level is low . in blood, glucose concentration is maintained by 2 hormones namely: INSULIN and GLUCAGON. insulin depresses blood glucose concentration whereas glucagon increases blood glucose concentration. as patient is hypoglycemic then , INSULIN > GLUCAGON.

Answer:

Insulin > Glucagon.

Explanation:

The blood glucose level in the body is maintained by the two hormones known as insulin and glucagon. These hormones are released by the beta cells and alpha cells of the pancreas.

The insulin decreases the blood glucose level whereas glucagon increase the blood glucose level. The individual is hypoglycemic means that he has low blood glucose level in his body. At this condition, the body has high insulin and low glucagon level in the body.

Thus, the answer is Insulin > Glucagon.

Explanation:

  • Mariculture also known as the aquaculture that stands for the fish farming occupation.
  • The main ecological problem that mariclture addresses is the environmental degradation especially the water pollution.
  • Many studies suggests that the tradition of mariculture has been increasing the acidificaton in ocean water that is directly affecting the marine organisms and plants.
  • A build up of organic material beneath fish farms impacts the flora and fauna of an area.

Three genes control the production of tail structures in dogs. The wag1 gene promotes the production of tail structures. However
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

1. <u>ntrdr</u> --><u> brken</u> --|  <u>wag1</u>  --> <u>Tail structures </u>

2. Yes

Explanation:

(1) In this experiment three different genes are present;

     1) Wag-1 - promotes production of tail structures

      2) brkn gene - inhibits Wag-1 which leads to inhibition or inactive Wag1 gene and there is no tail formation.

      3) ntrdr gene - stimulates the activity of brkn gene thus this in turn inhibits Wag-1 gene and results in inhibiting the tail formation.

(2) The ntrdr gene stimulates the brkn gene and active brkn gene inhibits the wag-1 gene. As we know Wag1 gene is essential for tail formation. on removing out ntrdr gene result in inactive gene brkn thus allows the expression of the Wag-1 gene allowing tail growth in dogs.
