"Cells in the lining of the stomach produce a protein called pepsinogen. When this protein is released into the chamber of the s

tomach, the stomach acid cleaves off a section of the protein, which now becomes an enzyme called pepsin. In this form, pepsin will actively begin the breakdown of proteins in food. This is an example of which type of eukaryotic gene regulation?"

This is an example of Precursor gene regulation (protein translation) type of eukaryotic gene regulation.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The source which breakdown proteins into smaller amino acid is pepsin and generated as top cells within stomach lining or membrane, responsible for pepsinogen emission inside stomach. It is represented as zymogen having an extra 44 amino acids linkage as its primary structure. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) releases this zymogen which is emitted from the parietal cells in the stomach lining.

Once food is consumed, the hormone gastrine and the vagus nerve cause the secretion of both pepsinogen and HCl from the stomach lining. Hydrochloric acid induces an acidic environment that allows pepsinogen to unfold in an autocatalytic manner and thus generates pepsin the active form.

An individual that is heterozygous for flower color and for height (PpTt) is test crossed. What is the phenotypic ratio of the o
MrRa [10]

Answer:

9:3:3:1

Explanation:

This type of crossing that involves two characters is referred to as dihybrid crossing. Generally, when there is a dihybrid crossing for heterozygous genes for both parents, the phenotypic ratio is usually 9:3:3:1 as shown in the figure in the attached document below.

Assuming the colour is White (P) and Black (p) and the

Height is Tall (T) and short (t)

The possible phenotypes will be in the ration

9 - White and Tall

3 - White and short

3 - Black and Tall

1 - Black and short

It should be noted that phenotypic ratio (phenotype) describes the outward appearance (what can be see physically) and not the genetic make-up. Thus, where there is a dominant character like P or T, the recessive characters are not considered to have been expressed.

Why are the first plants to appear in primary ecological succession so small
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

They are small because they are growing on bare surfaces, not even soil, so they're just growing on abiotic things like rocks, so the first plants are more like weeds, lichens, small mosses, etc... because these are the only types of plants suited to turn this habitat back into its original climax community through means like nitrogen fixation. Also, because there's probably no to little nutrients there which can cause nutrients to be a limiting factor to their growth and cause them to be stunted. Need me to elaborate more?
