the radiations that are used to treat cancers are of the gamma type. primarily emitted from cobalt-60 (a radioactive isotope).  and it is more controlled than other radiation exposures. i.e. solar radiation which is not controlled.

It is a life-threatening condition characterized by severe clinical manifestations of thyrotoxicosis. Extreme hyperthyroidism can lead to heart failure, a condition called throtoxicosis.Over-secretion of thyroxine is often due to the presence of plasma proteins that stimulate thyroid activity, i.e., defective enzymatic reactions.Thyroid storm can lead to osteoporosis, heart failure and atrial fibrillation.

The region of a Drosophila embryo with a low concentration of bicoid protein will develop into the _____. a) abdomenb) male flow
joja [24]

Answer:

The correct option is d) head.

Explanation:

Bicoid protein works as a transcription factor. It enters the nuclei of the embryos in early segmentation, where it activates the hunchback gene. In Drosophila, embryonic development begins at the time of fertilization. The sperm enters the mature oocyte through the micropile, a structure located in what will be the anterior region of the egg. Bicoid and hunchback mRNAs, protein products are critical for the formation of the head and thorax. Already in the early stages of oocyte development, certain mRNAs are located in specific regions of the oocyte: mRNA molecules encoding the Bicoid protein are preferentially located in the anterior region of the oocyte. Moderate levels of the bicoid protein are necessary to activate the formation of the thorax (i.e., the expression of the hunchback gene) but the formation of the head requires high concentrations of Bicoid, the promoters of a specific gap gene of the head must have sites of low affinity binding for Bicoid, so that this gene can be activated only in extremely high concentrations of Bicoid.

The lack of Bicoid protein affects the formation of the head and other structures in the anterior region of the oocyte.

What are three environmental factors that can influence plant phenotypes
sergij07 [2.7K]

The genotype describes the complete set of genes inherited by an individual, and the phenotype describes all aspects of the individual's morphology, physiology, behavior, and ecological relations. Light, water, temperature, soil structure are the environmental factors which influence the plant phenotype most. The growth is a very sensitive phenotypic trait that quickly responds to any sub-optimal environment. However, many more physiological responses occur that turn out in phenotypes that can be measured with non-invasive technology.
