Answer:

The correct answer would be nucleic acid or DNA.

It is an X-linked recessive disorder which is caused by a mutation in the gene present on X chromosome.

This mutated allele produced non-functional protein (clotting factor) due to which blood does not clot efficiently.

Consequently, the blood flows for longer time than normal.

Hemophilia is caused by a defect in the genes responsible for the formation of blood clotting factors viii and ix. These genes are located on the X chromosome. A female has two X chromosomes and a male has an X chromosome and a Y chromosome. Therefore, all the daughters of a hemophiliac father will be the carriers of this disease, and half of his sons acquiring the X chromosome from the father will have the disease.

Answer:

This way, for 20^2.55 = 2109 amino acids are require to have 2*1056 number different sequences.

Explanation:

Protein should contain 2*1056 of different sequence so

2*1056 = 20^x

 Log (2*1056) = log 20^x

3.3246 = (x ) * 1.3010

X= 2.555

1. Starting in the mouth, food follows a pathway through the digestive system. Describe how the mouth is involved in both mechan
ikadub [295]

Explanation:

1) Chemical digestion begins in the mouth when food mixes with saliva. Saliva contains an enzyme (amylase) that begins the breakdown of carbohydrates.

2) The daily values are reference amounts (expressed in grams, milligrams, or micrograms) of nutrients to consume or not to exceed each day. The %DV helps you determine if a seving of food is high or low in a nutrient.

3) If a food has a daily value of 5% or less of a nutrient, it is considered to be low in that nutrient.

A food is a good source of a nutrient if the percent daily value is between 10% and 19%, If the food has 20% or more of the daily value, it is considered an excellent source of that nutrient.

4) As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules. The body then absorbs these smaller molecules through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream, which delivers them to the rest of the body.

5) During digestion, your pancreas makes pancreatic juices called enzymes. These enzymes break down sugars, fats, and starches. Your pancreas also helps your digestive system by making hormones. These are chemical messengers that travel through your blood.

Glad to help!!!!
