Answer:

Body\ surface\ area=\sqrt {\frac {Weight\times Height}{3600}}

Explanation:

Skin covers all the body surfaces. The purpose of the skin is protect the body against infection, injury, heat or cold and also to store water and vitamins.

Body surface area is  measure of surface area of the human body. It is measured in m^2.

<u>There are many ways to measure the skin surface area of the body but the formula which is widely used is Mosteller formula, which is:</u>

Body\ surface\ area=\sqrt {\frac {Weight\times Height}{3600}}

Round seeds are dominant over wrinkled seeds in
antoniya [11.8K]

Genotype - RR - 25%, Rr - 50%, rr - 25% (1:2:1)

Phenotype - Round seeds - 75%, Wrinkled seeds - 25% (3:1)

<h3>How explain your answer?</h3>

Let the letter "r" stand for the alleles, where R is round seeds and r is wrinkled seeds. A genotype is an individual's genes represented through alleles. Phenotypes are how the genes express themselves. In other words, genotypes will be written using letters, the alleles, and phenotypes will be the possible outcomes of the alleles.

Both of the parent seeds have the genotypes Rr and the phenotype of round seeds.

If you create punnet square (which had four boxes in total) 1 will have RR, 2 will have Rr, and 1 will have rr. These are the ratios for the genotypes. Each box represents 25%, so the percentages will be 25, 50, and 25. Finally, 3 of these boxes (RR and Rr) will result in round seeds because those are dominant. Only the genotype rr will result in wrinkled phenotype. Therefore, the ratio is 3:1 or 75% to 25%.

Thus, this could be the answer.

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Kinase-connected receptors or receptor tyro-sine kinases react for the most part to protein and chemical go between. A solitary trans membrane helix interfaces the extracellular restricting area to the intra-cellular space. e.g. insulin, development factors. The official of the ligand triggers the commencement of a few succession of occasions related with phosphorylation of proteins, this is called protein kinase course.  

For instance, the official of development hormone to the receptor in the plasma layer causes dimerization (by the actuation of Janus kinase 2, JAK2) of the receptor (conformation change) that bring about auto-phosphorylation of tyro-sine buildups. The official of SH2-space (src homology) protein (Grb-2) to the phosphorylated tyro-sine buildups invigorates cell development through a course of protein phosphorylation.  

a). RTKs are the trans-membrane receptors, which have a ligand restricting site on the extracellular area and tyro-sine authoritative on the intra-cellular space. In the event that it comes up short on the extracellular area, the ligand can't tie to the receptor site, so no cell reaction happens.  

b). On the off chance that it does not have the intra-cellular space, the ligand can tie to the receptor site, the receptor can't impart signs tot eh intra-cellular area because of the absence of intra-cellular space.

Which climate conditions are typical of regions near the North Pole and the South Pole?
san4es73 [151]
Cold and extremely down climate is experienced in these locations, this is due to the lack of exposure to the sun's rays. The North and South Pole of the earth are also responsible for many meteorological and astronomical occurrences that protects earth and its inhabitants from the harsh exposure to the sun's rays.
