DNA replication begins when something called Helicase (an enzyme) unwinds the helix structure of the DNA. It does this so that Primase can then come along and set down an RNA primer.
This type of organism is called an autotroph.They are organisms capable of self-nourishment by using inorganic materials as a source of nutrients and using photosynthesis or chemosynthesis as a source of energy
Answer:
C. rr
Explanation:
The dominant genotype will always be denoted by the capital version, or in this case R.
The round pea shape is dominant to the wrinkled pea shape, which means that, in the Punnett Square, the combinations of RR, Rr, rR, will all come out to be round pea shape.
The last box, rr, would be the one that gives the wrinkled phenotype.
In this case, by ratio, wrinkled phenotype show up 25%
by ratio, round phenotype show up 75%.
Answer:
B. Glucagon
Explanation:
Glucagon is a pancreatic hormone, secreted by the alpha cells of islets of Langerhans. Whenever the blood glucose level falls, glucagon is released to increase the blood glucose levels. This function of glucagon is quite opposite to the function of insulin and hence both are antagonistic hormones. Insulin reduces the blood glucose where as glucagon increases the blood glucose.
Glucoagon is large polypeptide of 29 amino acids. Since it helps in increasing the blood glucose homeostatic levels it is called as hyperglycemic hormone. It does so by stimulating certain processes such as:
- Stimulating Glycogenolysis i.e breakdown of glycogen to release more glucose from liver.
- Stimulating Gluconeogenesis i.e. synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources like proteins.
- Glucagon inhibits the process of glycogenesis i.e. synthesis of glycogen, the storage form of glucose.
They are adapted for photosynthesis by having a large surface area, and contain openings, called stomata to allow carbon dioxide into the leaf and oxygen out
