The pancreas is responsible for the elimination of 95% of ingested alcohol from the body through metabolism.
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

<h2>False</h2>

Explanation:

The human body mechanisms try to excrete out the ethanol from the body before it gets circulated in the body through blood. The body does so by converting the ethanol to certain metabolic products which get filtered and excreted out through urine.

The metabolism of alcohol takes place in the liver in two steps- Ethanol is converted to acetaldehyde by the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme. The acetaldehyde is toxic to cells and is the compound responsible for the hangover after drinking.

The acetaldehyde is then converted to acetic acid by an enzyme called acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. The acetic acid through respiration gets converted to water and carbon dioxide and rest is excreted out through urine.

Thus, the liver is the organ responsible for the metabolism of ethanol and not pancreas.

The plant coleus has three distinct leaf color phenotypes: green, white, and variegated (white and green mixed) the crosses are
madam [21]

Answer:

Cytoplasmic inheritance

Explanation:

  • female variegated leaves × male green leaves ⇒ all variegated leaves
  • female green leaves × male with white leaves ⇒ all green leaves
  • female with white leaves × male with variegated leaves ⇒ all white leaves

From these crosses, we can notice that only the female´s phenotype is expressed in the progeny, independently of the male´s phenotype. Whenever this occurs, it is probably due to the action of cytoplasmic inheritance.

Extrachromosomal or cytoplasmic inheritance refers to hereditability transmission controlled by cytoplasmic genes.

This form of inheritance lays in genes that are out of the nucleus. Even though most of the DNI is located in the nucleus, information for some characters is placed in organelles in the cytoplasm, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts. These organelles have a well-defined portion of the total cellular genome.

When a female expresses a trait that is defined by genes in the organelles, the whole progeny expresses the same trait as the female.

Mitochondrial inheritance is mostly maternal, but recent studies have demonstrated that it might also be paternal.
