Answer:

A. The gene for insulin is located on chromosome 11 in all people.

Explanation:

Genomics includes the study of the content, organization, function and evolution of genetic information in a complete genome. The genomic term is relatively recent. It is considered that it was coined by Thomas Roderick, in 1986, to refer to the subdiscipline of genetics dedicated to the study of cartography, sequencing and analysis of the functions of complete genomes.

Insulin is formed as pre-proinsulin of the precursor protein. This is encoded by a 14kb series in the INS gene. In most animals including humans, a single gene for insulin is found. The human gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 11 at position 15.5 (11p15.5).

The insulin gene has recently been decoded in its complete form in genomic studies. The human and rat insulin genes have been reproduced and the DNA has been sorted. It has been shown that mouse and rat insulins are identical and have similar gene series and organization, which are similar in genetic series to humans.

Answer:

The correct answer is- olfactory nerve(1)

Explanation:

Olfactory nerve is the first nerve out of the 12 cranial nerve that is located in the head and is also the shortest of all the cranial nerve. The receptors of the olfactory nerve are present in the nasal mucosa that passes to the forebrain.

It pass sensory information of smell to the brain so it plays the sensory function in smell perception. The damage to olfactory nerves can lead to:

Anosmia: In anosmia, people lose their ability to smell.

Hyposmia: In this condition, the ability to smell gets reduced.

Dysosmia: In this situation, people lost their ability to distinguish between various types of smell.

So the right answer is olfactory nerve(1).

When a body of water become enriched with nutrients and minerals and induces growth of algae and plants is referred to as eutrophication.

The process of eutrophication can result to water body depletion.

When there is increase in nutrient levels there is increase in phytoplankton in the water body.

Discharge of nitrates which contain sewage, fertilizer, and detergents in aquatic system may induce the eutrophication.
