Zolol [24]3 years ago

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>

Which object would have a larger gravitational force acting upon it
fiasKO [112]

Answer

Hi,

An object with the largest size will have a large gravitational force acting on it. Explanation

The gravitation force increases with increase in size of an object. An object that has twice as much mass will exert two times as much gravitational pull on other objects. An object with greater mass attracts the earth more strongly that the other one with smaller mass. On the earth’s space, the more massive objects will exert stronger gravitational forces.

Best wishes!

Which component of the electrocardiogram represents the duration of ventricular contraction?
Advocard [28]

QRS complex refers to the combination of the Q, R, and S waves, and indicates ventricular depolarization and contraction (ventricular systole).

Ventricular rate can be calculated by determining the time interval between QRS complexes. The duration of the QRS complex is normally 0.06 to 0.10 seconds. This relatively short duration indicates that ventricular depolarization normally occurs very rapidly.

P QRS and T waves in electrocardiogram signifies the P wave in an ECG complex indicates atrial depolarization. The QRS is responsible for ventricular depolarization and the T wave is ventricular repolarization.
