It plays a role in nerve conduction, constriction and relaxation of blood vessels, and hormone secretion. Calcium also plays a vital role in muscle contraction, including your cardiac and skeletal muscles.

Calcium ions bind to troponin-tropomyosin molecules located on the grooves of the actin filaments. upon binding with calcium ions, troponin changes shapes and moves tropomyosin out of the groove which the tropomyosin normally blocks the actin myosin binding points. This facilitates creation of the myosin-actin crossbridges which are the basis of contraction of muscles. ATP is the form of energy required to facilitate the creation of cross bridges and movement of calcium ions

Tumors of the parathyroid gland often result in secretion of excess parathyroid hormone. Considering the function of this hormon
Luda [366]

Answer:

Parathyroid hormone increases the level of calcium while calcitonin hormone  decreases the level of calcium in the blood.

Explanation:

Parathyroid hormone is a type of harmone which is responsible for balancing calcium in our body. When the calcium level lowers in our body, parathyroid hormone is secreted and calcium is absorbed from the bones and fullfilled the requirement of the body. If the tumor secreted calcitonin hormone instead of parathyroid hormone, the calcium level in the blood is lowered because it acts to the opposite of parathyroid hormone.

Most black bears (Ursus americanus) are black or brown in color. However, occasional white bears of this species appear in some
Sphinxa [80]

Answer and Explanation:

<em><u>The number of observed individuals</u></em>:

  • AA 42
  • AG 24
  • GG 21

<u><em>Total number of individuals, N</em></u>= 87 = 42 + 24 + 21

<u><em>Allelic frequencies</em></u>:

  • f(p) = (2 x AA + AG)/ 2 x N

       f (p)= (2 x 42 + 24) /2 x 87

       f (p) = (84 + 24) / 174

       f (p)= 108 / 174

      f (p) = 0.62

  • f (q) = (2 x GG + AG)/2 x N

        f (q) = (2 x 21 + 24 )/2 x 87

        f (q) = (42 + 24)/ 174

        f (q) = 66/174

        f (q) = 0.38

p + q = 1

0.62 + 0.38 = 1

<em><u>The expected genotypic frequency:</u></em>

  • F (AA)= 0.62 ² = 0.3844
  • F (AG) = 2 x A x G = 2 x 0.62 x 0.38 = 0.4712
  • F (GG) = 0.38 ² = 0.1444

AA + AG + GG = 0.3844 + 0.4712 + 0.1444 = 1

<u><em>The number of expected individuals</em></u>:

AA= (0.62)² x 87 = 0.3844 x 87 = 33.44

AG= (0.4712) x 87 = 40.99

GG= (0.38)² x 87 = 12.563

<u><em>Total number of expected individuals</em></u> = 33.44 + 40.99 + 12.563 = 87

<u><em>Chi square</em></u>= sum (O-E)²/E

  • AA= (O-E)² /E

        AA=(42 - 33.44) ² / 33.44

        AA= 2.2

  • AB= (O-E)² /E      

        AB= (24 - 40.99)²/ 40.99

        AB=7.04

  • BB=(O-E)² /E

        BB= (21-12.563)²/12.563

        BB= 5.66

<u><em>Chi square</em></u>= sum ((O-E)²/E) = 2.2 + 7.04 + 5.66 = 14.9

<u><em>Degrees of freedom</em></u> = genotypes - alleles = 3 - 1 = 2

p value less than 0.05

There is enough evidence to reject the nule hypothesis. The genotype frequencies are not in equilibrium.
