If you have just eaten, your body will secrete insulin. Insulin is the hormone that allows glucose to enter cells. That way they will have the proper energy for their normal functions.
If you have not eaten for a while, your body is running out of glucose to feed the cells so it needs to secrete another hormone called glucagon. This hormone is the complete opposite of insulin because it breaks down glycogen, proteins and fats into glucose.

Which of the following is NOT a mechanism used to temporally regulate the activity of maturation-promoting factor (MPF)?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

C. glycosylation

Explanation:

The maturation-promoting factor (MPF) is a cell cycle checkpoint that stimulates the passage from G2 (prophase) to M phase (metaphase). MPF also determines that DNA replication during the S (synthesis) phase did not produce any mutations. MPF is inactivated by kinase phosphorylation and activated by specific phosphatases capable of dephosphorylating this protein. On the other hand, glycosylation is a posttranslational modification where a carbohydrate (i.e., a glycan) is added to a functional group of another molecule. Many proteins undergo glycosylation, thereby playing a critical role in regulating protein function.

tall heterozygous pea plants were crossed and the resulting seeds grown. Out of 360 plants, 270 were tall and 90 dwarf. What des
lozanna [386]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A. All 270 tall plants were heterozygous

B. All 270 tall plants were homzygous.

C. Only 90 plants were homzygous.

D. All dwarf plants were homzygous.

The answer is D.

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for height in pea plants. The allele for tallness (T) is dominant over that of dwarfness (t). This means that a dwarf plant can only be homzygous recessive (tt) while a tall plant can either be homzygous (TT) or heterozygous (Tt).

According to the question, two tall heterozygous pea plants were crossed i.e. Tt × Tt. Based on this cross, a phenotypic ratio of 3:1 is expected, which is in accordance with the 270 tall plants and 90 dwarf plants (360 total) that was obtained in the cross. Since dwarfism in pea plants is a recessive trait, this means that all the dwarf plants produced in this cross (90) were homzygous (tt).

snow_lady [41]
I’m pretty sure the answer is 4.
Evaporites are rocks formed by the evaporation of water. They are sedimentary rocks. Common examples of evaporites include gypsum, anhydrite, and halite (common salt.) I hope this helps! :)
