Answer: C. warfarin.

Explanation:

Warfarin has been the cornerstone of oral anticoagulant therapy for about 50 years. Its effectiveness has already been proven in the prevention of venous thromboembolism in the prevention of systemic embolism in patients  with cardiac valve prostheses or atrial fibrillation and the prevention of acute myocardial infarction (MI) in high-risk men. Warfarin mainly inhibits the vitamin K epoxide reductase enzyme, which prevents the cyclic interconversion of this vitamin. This way, by blocking the cyclic interconversion of vitamin K prevents carboxylation of glutamate residues in terminal regions in K-dependent proteins.  Warfarin is the most commonly used oral anticoagulant in clinical practice and is composed of two isomers, R-warfarin, and S-warfarin (5 times more potent than R-isomer), which are metabolized in the liver by different routes.

What do life functions and enzymes have in common?
igomit [66]

Answer:

Maintenance or homeostasis would be common in life-functions and enzymes.

The basic goal of different life functions is to maintain a balance for well being of an individual and thus maintenance of life.

Similarly, enzymes function in order to reach equilibrium between the reactant and the products.

Substrate and products are common terms used in both chemical equation and enzymatic reaction.

In both specific substrates are converted to respective products.

Enzymes work as a catalyst and increase the rate of a biochemical reaction.

In corn, small pollen (sp) is recessive to normal pollen (sp+) and banded necrotic tissue, called zebra necrotic (zn), s ssive t
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Please see the attached image

Given -

Allele for small pollen is "sp"

Allele for normal pollen is "sp+"

and "sp+" is dominant over "sp"

Allele for zebra necrotic tissue is "zn"

Allele for normal necrotic tissue is "zn+"

and "zn+" is dominant over "zn"

Cross is carried out between

sp+ sp zn+ zn x sp+ sp zn+ zn

The gametes of the parent cells are -

sp+ zn+, sp+zn, spzn+, spzn

The cross would be as follows

         

sp+ zn+ sp+zn spzn+ spzn

sp+ zn+ sp+ sp+ zn+ zn+sp+ sp+ zn+ znsp+ sp zn+ zn+ sp+ spzn+ zn  

sp+zn sp+ sp+ zn+ znsp+ sp+ zn znsp+ sp zn+ zn sp+ sp zn zn

spzn+ sp+ sp zn+ zn+sp+ sp zn+ znsp sp zn+ zn+ sp sp zn+ zn

spzn sp+ sp zn+ zn sp+ sp zn zn sp sp zn+ zn sp sp zn zn

Hence, option B is correct
