In humans, melanocyte-stimulating hormone stimulates melanocytes to produce more melanin. Acting through melanocortin 1 receptor, MSH stimulates the production and release of melanin by melanocytes in skin and hair, a process called melanogenesis.

A mitochondrion has just been engulfed by a cup-shaped isolation membrane as it undergoes mitophagy. Before lysosomal fusion, ho
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

Mitophagy refers to the process which is evolutionarily conserved in the organisms to remove the dysfunctional mitochondria in the cell.

The mitochondrial is degraded by the digestive organelles by engulfing the mitochondria.

The mitochondria are engulfed by the lysosome and then phagosome is formed which is double membrane structure. This phagosome matures into the autophagosome and now has the mitochondria engulfed.

Since the mitochondria contain toe layer and during mitophagy engulfed by the phagosome, therefore, there is a total of four-layer.These four layers separate the matric of the mitochondria with the cytosol.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

2. Which of the genotypes listed above would provide the strongest evidence that the alleles for blood type are co-dominant? Ple
Ket [755]

Answer:

AB

Explanation:

Blood group is discovered by famous scientist Karl Landsteiner in the year 1990. Co-dominance is the expression of the two alleles in the heterozygotes. In AB type, the two different alleles are present and they are expressed.

However in ABO type, it is govern by three allele namely A, B and O type. If only the antigen A is present, it is called A blood type. When only B antigen is present it is called B blood type and when both A and B are present, it is called AB blood type. And if neither of the antigen are present, it is called the O blood type.

The allele O is of recessive to both the blood type A and B. So a person with O blood type have two copies of O allele. But however A and B blood type are dominant of O, a person with A blood type may have one of the two genotypes --  AO or AA. Similarly, with blood type B, the genotypes are BO or BB.
