Albinism is a recessive trait characterized by an absence of pigment melanin responsible for skin and hair color. Actually, albinism is caused by a defect in gene for enzyme which synthesizes melanin. The central dogma of molecular biology explains that the sequence of DNA specifies the sequence of mRNA, which, further, specifies codes for the sequence of proteins. Since a gene is a segment of DNA, altered gene will cause altered mRNA which will cause altered protein. Thus, <span>defect in gene for enzyme which synthesizes melanin will cause the absence of melanin and consequently, albinism.</span>

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

The statement that is not true for antibody staining is it can provide information about gene expression.

Explanation:

Antibody staining is important aspect of applied immunology. Antibody staining is done to determine a specific protein in a given sample.Antibody staining is done by using fluorescent dyes and also by using specific enzyme such as horse reddish peroxidase,alkaline phosphatase.

         Antibody staining can be visualized with either fluorescent or radioactive labels. Antibody staining can be performed by western blotting method.Multiple antibodies can be used to stain different proteins.Antibody staining requires the hybridization of the complementary base sequence of the antibody and also the target protein to which it binds.

Hmg-coa reductase is a highly regulated enzyme. identify three distinct mechanisms by which this enzyme is regulated. for each,
Rufina [12.5K]
Regulation of HMG-CoA reductase is termed as the rate of controlling enzyme of the mevalonate pathway which produces other isoprenoid and cholesterol.
The regulation of cholesterol is done by regulating the rate which determines step catalyzed by HGM -CoA reductase.
There is long-term and short-term regulation where HGM-CoA is inhibited by phosphorylation and catalyzed of proteins. There is regulated proteolysis of HGM-CoA reductase where degradation of HMG-CoA reductase by oxidized derivatives of cholesterol.

How do pockets increase a lung´s surface area?
icang [17]

Answer:

many alveoli are present in the lungs with a shape that further increases surface area. Thin walls - alveolar walls are one cell thick providing gases with a short diffusion distance. Moist walls - gases dissolve in the moisture helping them to pass across the gas exchange surface.
