Biology
1 answer:
Afina-wow [57]4 years ago
5 0

Answer: Helicase

Explanation: Replication is a process of making two identical copies of DNA from a double-stranded DNA. This process is catalyzed by an enzyme called DNA polymerase. Before DNA polymerase begins the synthesis of the new strands, helicase will unwind or unzip the double-stranded DNA. Helicase is the enzyme that unzips or unwinds the double-stranded DNA helix during replication. Helicase separates the two strands by moving along the DNA using chemical energy from ATP. The separated strands serve as templates for the synthesis of new DNA strand.

True or False: <br><br> The first step in glycogen synthesis is the phosphorylation of glucose.
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is True

Explanation:

<u>The first step in glycogen synthesis (glycogenesis) is the phosphorylation of glucose to form glucose-6-phosphate</u>, which is catalyzed by hexokinase. [This step is also the first step in the glycolytic pathway]. Glucose-6-phosphate is then isomerized to glucose-1-phosphate by the action of phosphoglucomutase. This glucose-i-phosphate is then converted to glycogen by glycogen synthase.

Two heterozygous dominant parents for attached earlobes are crossed to predict the traits of their offspring. What is the ratio
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

A - 3:1

Explanation:

In order to determine what number of offspring will have attached earlobes, we must make a Punnett table. We know that attached earlobes are the dominant gene, and we know unattached earlobes are recessive.

| P | p

——————-

P | PP | Pp |

——————-

p | Pp | pp |

As we can see, only one out of the four squares has two recessive genes. Therefore, our answer would be A - 3:1.

Airida [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option Complex neuroendocrine response.

Explanation:

Hypothalamus is the thermostat of the body as it regulates and maintains body temperature by responding to external signals or stimuli and adjusts the body temperature in a close one to two degree of 98.6 degree.

The regulation involves a different type of endocrine hormones and thyroid gland and receptors that help in signaling the increase or decrease of body temperature it involves neurons and hormones.

Due to the response of thermoreceptors and hormones is known as the neuroendocrine response. Hypothalamus Involves two or more hormones and several steps it known as a complex response.

Thus, the correct answer is a Complex neuroendocrine response.
