The hormones responsible for increasing sodium ion retention are angiotensin II and aldosterone. Aldosterone is the main mineralocorticoid hormone. It is a steroid hormone produced by the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland. It <span>helps regulate sodium and potassium levels in the body and also helps control blood pressure and the balance of fluids and electrolytes in the blood</span><span>. </span>Angiotensin on the other hand is a peptide hormone that causes a subsequent increase in blood pressure and vasoconstriction. It is also part of the renin-angiotensin system, which is a major target for drugs that raises blood pressure.

Altering protein structure
scoray [572]

The alteration in the protein structures can take place due to many reason. Once, the structure of the protein is altered, it cannot perform its function, as it cannot bind to the site for which it is designated.

Most of the biological processes use proteins in their completion. In case, the protein cannot perform its function, the metabolic process associated with that particular protein may stop and cause severe illness.

The heat can cause the denaturation of the proteins. The proteins are made up of amino acid sequences, the heat can break the peptide bond present between the amino acids present in protein, which can result in alteration of protein.

Hence, the correct answer is option (d). all of them are correct.

Who realized that fingerprints were unique to individuals?
Whitepunk [10]
1. I believe the answer is William Herschel.
 Francis Galton is often credited with the discovery that everyone's fingerprints are unique and that they could therefore be used for identification. However his works is extensively based on the work of Dr. Henry Faulds, who appears to have a better claim to the discovery, along with British magistrate William Herschel. 

2. I believe that the ratio of height to width indicate size and consistency in hand writing analysis. The ratio of height, width and size of letters is among the characteristics of handwriting analysis that entails whether the letters are consistent in height, width and size. 

3. I believe the statement that describes the line quality in handwriting analysis is whether the letters are shaky or flow continuously. Line quality is an indication of speed and fluency; the better the quality, the more skilled, or at least fast, the movement of the pen. 

4. The statement that best indicates pen pressure in hand writing analysis is the down strokes and upstrokes are an even width. 
Pen pressure is the pressure equal or unequal when applied to upward and down ward strokes. The pen pressure of a writer indicates his physical and emotional energy. 

5. I think what is measured in the ridge count is spacing between ridge lines. 
Ridge counting is the the counting of the ridges that touch or cross the line of count drawn between the delta and core of loop patterns. A white space must always intervene between the delta and the first ridge to be counted.

List and describe the role of the 3 types of rna.
steposvetlana [31]

<span>There are three RNAs with a role in the synthesis of protein.</span>

mRNA, or messenger RNA, is the link between a gene and a protein. The main role of this ribonucleic acid is in transcription (”reading“) of DNA. The DNA is transcribed by RNA polymerase, and the resulting product of this process is mRNA. This form of RNA can be modified post-transcriptionally with methylguanosine caps and polyadenosine tails. RNA carries the genetic information which is copied from DNA and the information has a form of three-base code (“words”), codons. Each of these codons specifies a particular amino acid.

tRNA or transfer RNA is the molecule with the main function in translation by "decoding" the mRNA message during this process. Each type of amino acid has its own type of tRNA and also has a three-base sequence (anticodon) that can bind complementary with the codons in the mRNA.

rRNA or ribosomal RNA is a main component of ribosomes. rRNA associates with a set of proteins to form ribosomes which catalyze the assembly of amino acids into polypeptide chains (protein).

 

<span>There are also a few more types of RNA which have a regulatory function like, microRNA or siRNA.</span>
