Why do people go pale when they are cold?

People get pale when they’re cold because your body is trying to conserve heat. Heat is nessecary to maintain homeostasis, and in a response to this, your blood vessels in your skin constrict (get smaller), so less blood goes to your skin, so that your body can redirect the blood to your core, where all the good stuff is like your organs.

Blood is what makes our skin a pinkish color, if white people did not have blood, we would look like vampires. When there is less blood in your skin, the pink color goes away and leaves a pale white.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

is a result of the absence of macrophages or B cells.

Explanation:

Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) results due to the absence of macrophages or B cells that is responsible for the immunity of our body. Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is an inherited immunodeficiency disease (PIDD) that presents in infancy results in a weak immune system that is unable to fight against even mild infections so due the absence of macrophages or B cells, the body is vulnerable to diseases.

What happens to RNA polymerase II after it has completed transcription of a gene? a. It begins transcribing the next gene on the

Over [174]

The correct answer is: b. It is free to bind to another promoter and begin transcription

Transcription is the first step of gene expression in which DNA molecule is copied (transcribed) into RNA (mRNA) by RNA polymerase. The process of transcription is divided into three phases:

1. Initiation

• RNA polymerase with transcriptional factors bind to gene promoter

• RNA polymerase unwinds DNA double helix (transcription bubble is formed)

2. Elongation

• RNA polymerases adds nucleotides complementary to DNA

3. Termination

• RNA polymerase gets to stop codon (transcribes a sequence of DNA known as a terminator)

• Formed complementary RNA strand is released from DNA-RNA complex.

RNA polymerase is also released and can transcribe some other gene by binding to its promotor. RNA polymerase will transcribe just the genes whose products are needed at a particular moment.
