It refers to making or crating new genes in form of mutation in duplicates of old genes. It is also a mechanism in major way through new genetic material is generated during evolution. The duplication happens in event termed unequal crossing over or recombination between misaligned homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

What is the role of renin in the secretion of aldosterone?
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Aldosterone is a hormone which is produced by the adrenal glands which are present above the kidneys. The role of aldosterone is to regulate the blood pressure. It causes the reabsorption of water and salts into the bloodstream during the kidney filteration process. Hence, maintains the blood volume, restors blood pressure and salt level.

Renin is an enzyme. It facilitates chemical reactions which stimulates the synthesis of angiotension II, it directs the synthesis of aldosterone.

Glycolysis is active when cellular energy levels are _____; the regulatory enzyme, phosphofructokinase, is _____ by atp.glycolys
vampirchik [111]
<span>Glycolysis is a process that can be seen as occurring in eukaryotic cells. This process is active when cellular energy levels are low; and the regulatory enzyme is inhibited by ATP. This process releases energy that is labeled as 'free'. After this process the released energy goes to form ATP molecules, which are high in energy.</span>

Define the following terms. Drag and drop the words into the appropriate blanks to complete the sentences.
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

1. replication

2. gene

3. strand polarity

4. translation

5. complementary base pairing

6. chromosome

7. antiparallel

8. transcription

9. allele

Explanation:

1. Replication is the process by which DNA is duplicated or the process of making another copy of DNA.

2. Gene is the physical unit of heredity i.e a segment of DNA transferred from parents to offsprings. A gene also encodes a useful products such as protein.

3. A DNA strand is a polar molecule, which is attributed to the phosphate group at the 5'-end of DNA and the hydroxyl group at the 3'-end of DNA.

4. Translation is the process whereby the information in a mRNA molecule is used to synthesize a protein.

5. Complementary base pairing is a phenomenon whereby Adenine (A) binds to thymine (T), guanine (G) binds to cytosine (C).

6. A chromosome contains of single long molecule of DNA coiled together around histone proteins. The chromosome is associated with different types of proteins.

7. In the double-stranded DNA molecule, one strand runs from 5' to 3' and the other runs from 3' to 5'. This is called ANTIPARALLEL nature of DNA.

8. Transcription is the process by which a DNA molecule is used to synthesize a mRNA single strand.

9. Allele is the alternative or contrasting form of a gene. Each allele is contributed by each parent
