Answer:

Umami identifies foods that might contain essential amino acids.

Explanation:

You may have heard that our taste buds can recognize the four basic tastes: sweet, salty, sour and bitter. But what many still do not know is that the human taste recognizes one more taste - the "umami".

Umami is recognized by our taste buds when we eat foods that contain substances called aminoacids. The umami flavor is composed of three main substances present in various foods: glutamate, inosinate and guanylate. The ability to recognize umami taste is an evolutionary advantage of humans that represents the ability to identify foods that may contain essential aminoacids.

Describe how cooperativity of oxygen binding in hemoglobin is advantageous for the transport of oxygen from the lungs to the tis
Nostrana [21]
The affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen is less than its structural analog myoglobin. However, this does not affect hemoglobin's usefulness for the body; on the contrary, it allows hemoglobin to be a  more efficient carrier than myoglobin. This is because hemoglobin can release oxygen more easily than can myoglobin. It is both important for oxygen to be carried to different areas and also to be released when needed. The higher affinity of a given protein for oxygen, the harder it will be for that protein to release oxygen when needed. Therefore, hemoglobin's lower affinity for oxygen serves it well because it allows hemoglobin to release oxygen more easily in the body.

How can the allele be recessive when three children have the disease ?<br>(the answer is C )
Fed [463]
Both parents are normal. But, some of the kids have the disease. This indicates that the parents are heterozygous for the disease (let's use Dd). They are phenotypically fine because D is normal. But we know they must both carry the diseased d allele because their kids have the disease.
If you cross Dd x Dd you get DD, Dd, Dd and dd as the possible outcomes. But because each time they have a child they roll the dice as to which of the 4 above happens, they were unlucky as 3 of those times they got dd for their child...so 3 of them have the disease (and are dd). One is phenotypically normal but could still be Dd or DD.
