Answer:

The human body can store 350-500 grams of glycogen in the body.

Explanation:

The glucose present in the body provides energy. The glucose each gram is changed to 4 kilo calories of energy which can be easily utilized by the body. The stored glycogen provides energy by converting to glucose. The muscle consist of around 400 gm of glycogen and the liver consist of 100 gm of glycogen.

The muscle uses this stored glycogen at the time of energy requirement. The liver also act as a reservoir of glycogen.

The letter X in the diagram below represents what enzyme used in the process shown?

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: Option D. RNA polymerase.

Explanation:

Transcription is the process which is used to produce RNA from a DNA template.
The enzyme involved in the process of transcription is RNA polymerase which is responsible for separating the DNA strands and making an RNA which is complementary to the DNA.
RNA polymerase joins the nucleotides in the newly formed RNA strands by utilizing the energy released from the cleavage of the additional phosphate bonds that are removed by it.
The RNA polymerase dissociates from the DNA only after the process of transcription is complete.

Explain incomplete dominance, using snapdragon flowers as an example.

viktelen [127]

incomplete dominance. A heterozygous condition in which both alleles at a gene locus are partially expressed and which often produces an intermediate phenotype.

when the phenotype of the heterozygous phenotype is distinct from and often intermediate to the phenotypes of the homozygous phenotypes.

(my class book)

so, the snapdragon flower's color is homozygous for red or white
