Answer:

The correct answer will be option A-walking.

Explanation:

The spinal cord is a part of the central nervous system which carries the spinal nerves.  We depend on the spinal cord as it supports the main body posture of the body like standing upright, bending and twisting.

If this spinal cord is injured the person may suffer from various severe health implications like it will affect the walking ability as the spinal cord transmits the walking signals via neurons to the muscles in the legs which make them contract and relax. This contraction and relaxation produce the alternating movement of walking.

Thus, option A-walking is the correct answer.

Eric follows a vegetarian eating pattern, and he wants to know whether he needs to take any vitamin and mineral supplements. wha
Reil [10]

It would be most important for Eric to find out his <em>zinc, iron and vitamin B12 (or  riboflavin) levels, and ensure that he is obtaining adequate amounts of these vitamins and minerals through vegetarian sources </em>.

A vegetarian diet is typically low in zinc rich foods, since meat, shell fish and eggs are the most abundant sources of zinc. In order to ensure that he obtains sufficient zinc, Eric should make sure he consumes vegetarian zinc sources such as legumes, lentils, dairy, nuts and seeds on a daily basis.

Since iron and vitamin B12 are also difficult to obtain from vegetarian sources, Eric should consume iron rich foods such as spinach, kale, whole grains, broccoli, legumes,etc., on a daily basis. As for vitamin B12, daily supplementation of 2.4 μg is recommended for vegetarians. Alternatively, riboflavin fortified cereals and grains are also recommended to meet daily riboflavin requirements.

Gene expression—translation how do cells synthesize polypeptides and convert them to functional proteins?
slavikrds [6]
The language of DNA in form of nitrogen bases read in a set of three termed as codons and it is being translated as language of proteins.

First mRNA is read according to the genetic code which can relate the amino acid sequence to proteins. mRNA can be use as the template to assemble in order the chain of amino acid. Translation starts when the mRNA is decoded and the sequence is elongated  until creating an amino acid sequence. Once the stop codon is reached, translation will be stopped and ribosome will release the polypeptide.
