<span>Cocaine is an indirect agonist of dopamine <span>receptors which</span> means he </span>has no specific agonist activity at the dopamine receptor<span> but he enhances his activity. Cocaine</span> acts by binding to the dopamine transporter, blocking the removal of dopamine from the synapse and blocking termination of dopamine signalling. As a result, it increases the extracellular concentration of dopamine and therefore signal to the receiving neurons is amplified.
Answer:
No, a blood test could not eliminate the father.
Explanation:
The mother had B type blood, so the possible genotypes are BB and BI. The father had A type blood, so the possible genotypes are AA and AI. The child had O type blood, so the only possible genotype is II. If the mother has the genotype BI and the father has the genotype AI, then there is a 25% chance the child will have the blood type O, or II (I used a punnet square with the genotypes BI and AI to solve this.)
DNA methylation is a process by which methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule. Methylation can change the activity of a DNA segment without changing the sequence. When located in a gene promoter, DNA methylation typically acts to repress gene transcription.
