Deamination occurs mostly in the brain. T/F

Biology
1 answer:
ki77a [65]3 years ago
4 0

The answer is false.

Deamination is the process (reaction) in which an amine group is removed from a molecule of amino acid. The enzymes that are involved in this reaction are called deaminases. Deamination can be used for energy(break down of amino acids), when there is too much protein intake. Amine group is converted to ammonia that is then converted to urea or uric acid in the urea cycle and at the end excreted through the urine.

In the human body, deamination occurs mostly in the liver (e.g. urea cycle), but also in the kidneys (deamination of glutamate).

C

The "Nucleus" contains the genetic information of the cell in the form of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or chromosomes and thus, controls cell growth and multiplication. It is also the site of DNA replication (formation of an identical copy of DNA).

While the "Golgi apparatus", or Golgi complex, functions as a factory in which proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion.

arsen [322]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

The amount of genetic variation in two humans is 0.1 percent of their genome. Human genetic variation refers to the biological difference that exists in the human population.

The genetic variation in humans and apes genome is about 4 percent which is 35 million differences in a single nucleotide.

The genetic variation between apes and humans (Homo sapiens), according to scientists includes gene expression differences, variation in the transportable elements and type and number of repetitive genomic DNA transportable elements, the difference in the gene sequence, single nucleotide polymorphic, etc.

According to research, 97 percent of humans and orangutans genomes are identical. Based on evolution, among all apes, the orangutans are very special as it has been stable for the past 15 million years.

Therefore, is the genetic variation between humans and orangutans is the greatest.

Using concepts of Mendelian genetics and natural selection explain the increase in the phenotype frequency for black fur from th
jasenka [17]

Answer:

Black fur is more fit to survive in the environment than other colors of fur.

Explanation:

"Fitness", in terms of natural selection, is an organism's likelihood to survive in a given environment. Assuming that the increase in black fur is significant (Not attributable to pure chance), we can safely assume this is because Black Fur provides a competitive advantage in said environment over other colors of fur. There may be black terrain that allows them to blend into the environment and ovoid predators, or maybe it keeps them warmer if it is located in a cold region, thereby reducing the amount of resources they need to spend to stay warm.
