Answer:B6 and B12.

Explanation:

Homocysteine is an amino acid produced from demethylation of methionine.The later is an amino acid needed in the body which must be conserved.

In order to conserve it ,Homocysteine is recycled in a specific pathways which inovles activities of Vitamin B6 and B12

.Therefore deficiency of these vitamins leads to elevated levels of Homocysteine.

HIGH LEVELS OF HOMOCYSTEINE AFFECT THE ENDOTHELIAL CELLS ;LEADING TO ABNORMAL CLOTTING OF BLOOD.THIS INCREASE IN BLOOD VISCOSITY PUT THE HEART AT RISK OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES.

Answer:

Folic acid(Vitamin B9) and vitamins B12

Explanation:

To convert homocysteine into methionine, folic acid(Vitamin B9) and vitamins B6 and B12 is required.

A deficiency in these vitamins can elevate homocysteine levels which affects the endothelial cells, causes

abnormal clotting and higher CVD risks.

A higher homocysteine level is associated with an increase in ischemic heart disease.

It is noted that a dose of 0.4 to 1 mg of folic acid with vitamins B12 and B6, lowers serum homocysteine levels.

Gene expression—translation how do cells synthesize polypeptides and convert them to functional proteins?
slavikrds [6]
The language of DNA in form of nitrogen bases read in a set of three termed as codons and it is being translated as language of proteins.

First mRNA is read according to the genetic code which can relate the amino acid sequence to proteins. mRNA can be use as the template to assemble in order the chain of amino acid. Translation starts when the mRNA is decoded and the sequence is elongated  until creating an amino acid sequence. Once the stop codon is reached, translation will be stopped and ribosome will release the polypeptide.

Explanation:

If crossing over doesn't occurs then you wouldn't really mix the 2 parental alleles so you couldn't have a genotype without mixing.

Sorry if im wrong!

Because digital signals do not depend on amplitude or frequency differences to communicate information, they are more vulnerable
Kazeer [188]

False

Electromagnetic interference happens less commonly with digital signals because they do not rely on subtle amplitude (signal strength) or frequency differences(cycles in a certain time) to communicate information. Digital signals are readable even with distortion generated from electromagnetic interference noise
