Answer:
Explanation:
The endocrine system plays an important role in homeostasis because hormones regulate the activity of body cells. The release of hormones into the blood is controlled by a stimulus. For example, the stimulus either causes an increase or a decrease in the amount of hormone secreted. Then, the response to a stimulus changes the internal conditions and may itself become a new stimulus. This self-adjusting mechanism is called feedback regulation.
The question is:
What may be observed as a result of the described mutation in an individual?
<span>1) Skin cancer due to UV rays </span>
<span>2) Darker blue pigmentation </span>
<span>3) A lack of alterase for other functions it may serve </span>
<span>4) The release of a different pigment color
The correct answer is B.
In this theoretical molecular cascade, we have three key parts, the blue2 gene, the blue2 operator and the enzyme alterase.
The enzyme alterase stops the expression of the blue2 gene by binding to its operator, and therefore the blue pigment protein.
The blue2 operator has a specific binding spot for alterase. If this binding spot is changed due to a conformational change, the alterase would not be able to bind to the operator and the blue2 gene could express undisturbedly, resulting in increased concentration of the blue pigment protein.</span>
The question shows the results of a gel
electrophoresis, which shows DNA fragments of the victim and two suspects,
suspect 1 and suspect 2. A comparison of the five DNA fragments of the victim,
A to E, reveals that the victim and suspect 1 both have the DNA fragment b.
A
visual comparison of the gel electrophoresis results should reveal that Suspect
1 has a DNA fragment that matches victim DNA fragment B.<span>The visuals can be seen in the attachment.</span>
The early signs of a heart attack occur in 50% of patients that have a heart attack according to the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care. If the early symptoms are noticed the treatment can be administered to prevent damage to the heart as the most heart damages, 85% occur in the 2 hours following the attack.
