Answer:

Density, dispersion, growth

Explanation

Population refers to the total number of all members of a species occupying a particular area or habitat at a given time. Populations are not static but change in size, structure and organization. Some of the characteristics of population are:

  • Density which refers to the number of members of a species per unit area or volume.
  • Dispersion refers to the spread and distribution of individuals of a species within a habitat.
  • Growth is the rate of increase or decrease in the number of individuals in a population which is balanced by birth rate and death rate.

The issues that affect population include competition, predation, emigration, diseases and parasites.

Which digestive hormone is secreted when fats and carbohydrates, especially glucose, enter the small intestine?.
blsea [12.9K]

Gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) a digestive hormone is secreted when fats and carbohydrates, especially glucose, enter the small intestine.

  • A member of the secretin family of hormones, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide is an inhibitory hormone.
  • It is sometimes referred to as gastric inhibitory polypeptide or stomach inhibitory peptide.
  • The enteroendocrine K-cells, which are widespread in the small intestine secrete GIP.
  • The hormone gastric inhibitory polypeptide, which is released by intestinal mucosal cells, prevents the stomach from producing hydrochloric acid.
  • Additionally, it improves the islets of Langerhans' beta cells' ability to secrete insulin, which results in a considerable increase in blood insulin concentrations following oral glucose delivery.

5 bases

If there are 17 amino acids and only 2 bases that can be combined in order to make a codon then:

for 4 bases 4^{2} is 16 and it is not enough combination for all 17 amino acids

for 5 bases 5^{2} is 25 combinations (meaning that more than one codon could code for the same amino acid).
