Answer:

Glucagon's role in the body is to prevent blood glucose levels dropping too low. To do this, it acts on the liver in several ways: It stimulates the conversion of stored glycogen (stored in the liver) to glucose, which can be released into the bloodstream. This process is called glycogenolysis.

Answer:

Within the liver, glucose becomes stored as a complex sugar (polysaccharide) called glycogen. ... Glucagon serves an additional function as well, which is to signal the release of stored fats within the liver through a process known as lipolysis.

Answer:

0.1 x 0.3 = 0.03 = 3%

Explanation:

Assuming a process of random mating in the population, it is possible to infer that the genotype frequencies will be the product of the allele frequencies. The random mating is one of the postulates of the Hardy-Weinberg Law, which is widely used in population genetics to estimate genotypic frequencies when populations are expected to be in an equilibrium state (it is also expected by default in human populations). In this case, the genotype frequencies will be certainly low (3%), thereby this locus may be useful to investigate a police case.
