Answer:
Blood vessels constrict
Explanation:
On seeing danger, impulses are sent to the adrenal medulla. It responds by secreting adrenaline into the bloodstream. This results in the following:
- Increased heartbeat
- Diversion of blood from alimentary canal and skin to skeletal muscles.
- Increased breathing rate and depth
- The liver releases more glucose.
These changes increase energy production especially in the skeletal muscles and prepare animal for sudden fight or flight.
Answer:
The mutations that were found in the parents were mostly somatic mutations
Explanation:
It has been mentioned in the question that leukemia was mainly found in the persons who were directly exposed to the radiation and it was absent in their children so this fact suggests that the mutations that were found in the parents were mostly somatic mutations and thus they are not transferred to the children from their parents. As these mutations were induced due to exposure of radiation so it was induced mutation. And such induced mutations do not get inherited to the offspring.
Answer:
c. formylmethionine residue
Explanation:
The initiation codon (5' AUG 3') is present in the P site of the bacterial ribosomes and bind to the tRNA carrying formyl methionine amino acid. The formyl methionine amino acid serves to initiate the process of protein synthesis in bacteria. The initiator amino acid formyl methionine is encoded by genetic code "AUG".
Answer:
Atoms have the same number of electrons and protons and hence have net 0 charge. When an atom gains or loses an electron, it attains a net charge and becomes an ion. When electrons are lost (or donated), the resulting ion is called cation. When electrons are gained, the resulting ion is called an anion.
