Answer:

The body will behave as if it's being starved and the metabolic rates decreases.

Explanation:

Experimental Studies showed that individuals who used starvation diets for weight loss, consuming 50% of their body energy needs for three weeks, did have a significant reduction in their body weight entirely. It is also interesting to note that, if they lower their lean muscle mass by 5% it will reduce their lean muscle mass and organ size by 20%.

This leads to metabolism, resulting in a decrease in rate of metabolism causing a breakage of certain muscle stores so as to generate energy. Starvation diets is proven to give a far-reaching negative impacts on the body as starving to lose weight causes a decreases in the metabolic rate.

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

C) 50%

Explanation:

If wavy hair is heterozygous then wavy is dominent and curly is recessive. So the alles for wavy would be Ww and for curly it would be ww. Put that on a punnet square and it is 50-50

Compared to humans, elephants have a dramatically low instance of cancer. Elephants have multiple copies of the

Yanka [14]

Elephants have multiple copies of the p53 genes that play an important role in the control of cell division.

<h3>What is the role of p53 genes in elephants?</h3>

P53 is an important regulator of the DNA repair processes and controls uncontrolled cell proliferation. When DNA is harmed, the protein becomes active and aids in orchestrating a response that stops DNA replication and fixes any incorrect copies of the cell. The oncogene MDM2 E3 ubiquitin ligase, another protein, is responsible for deactivating the p53 repair activity in duplicated cells with intact DNA since it is not required.

A human with only two alleles from a single gene has much fewer molecular anti-cancer interactions than an elephant, which has 40 alleles, or versions, from its twenty p53 genes. Although the elephant may appear to have excessive genetic diversity, each of its 40 alleles is structurally slightly different.

I understand the question you are looking for is this:

Compared to humans, elephants have a dramatically low instance of cancer. Elephants have multiple copies of the _____ genes that play an important role in the control of cell division.

Glucose molecules provide energy to power the swimming motion of sperm. In this example, the sperm are changing ______.

Hoochie [10]

The sperm are changing chemical energy into kinetic energy.

Chemical energy is defined as the chemical substance’s potential to undergo a transformation through a chemical reaction. So, this type of energy can be transformed to other forms of energy by a chemical reaction.

Kinetic energy, on the other hand, is the energy that an object (structure) possesses due to its motion.

So, in the example above, chemical energy of the glucose is used (by breaking the bonds of this molecule through the chemical reaction) for the formation of sperm’s kinetic energy (necessary for movement).
