Biology

Darya [45]2 years ago

Answer:

It can and cannot be.

What is rickets?

Rickets is a bone-related disorder caused by the deficit of vitamin-D, phosphate or calcium.

How can you inherit rickets?

1. When a mother has traces of the rickets disease, the offspring can indeed have the same traces as the mother.

2. In the other hand, there is a type of rickets, the [hereditary] hypophosphatemic rickets (low phosphate levels and resistance to vitamin-D treatments), that does indeed have an inheritance pattern, according to the Genetics Home Reference.

2.1 There is a gene called PHEX that is found in the x-chromosome, and, when a mutation of this gene occurs, it can cause the so called hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets.

Hope it helped,

using the gas pedal analogy explain the impact on the cell cycle of a proto-oncogene versus an oncogene
rusak2 [61]

Using the gas pedal analogy, the proto-oncogene would be an accelerator since they promote cell division and deregulate apoptosis, while tumor suppressor would be the brakes since they constrain the progress of the cell cycle and induce cell apoptosis. An oncogene is, therefore, when the accelerator is stuck in down position and the brakes are not working.

Which assumption must be correct for a population to be in hardy-weinberg equilibrium for a specific gene? see section 23.1 ( pa
Goshia [24]

There are five basic Hardy-Weinberg assumptions:

1. Random Mating -

2. No natural selection - all members of the parental generation survived and contributed equal numbers of gametes to the gene pool, no matter the genotype

3. No genetic drift (random allele frequency changes) - the population is infinitely large.

4. No gene flow - no new alleles were added by immigration or lost through emigration (no migration)

5. No mutation -  There must be mutation equilibrium.

Please I need help with this question ASAP:
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

After having a carbohydrate rich meal concentration of some hormones, especially insulin change in your body. Insulin promotes the uptake of glucose by cells(particularly muscle cells, adipocytes, liver cells). It also increases the rate of glycolysis and glycogenesis and decreases the rate of gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.

These important metabolic pathways cause burning up glucose to make ATP that all cells in our body need and also storing it in the form of glycogen in the liver which is a very important food storage. Metabolism of carbohydrates also causes fat to be deposited in adipocytes which is basically why we have stuff like keto diets(no or very little carbohydrates and mainly fats consumed) for losing weight!
