Answer:

To burrow through the earth, a worm will flex its circular and longitudinal muscles to make itself long, then will extend the setae on its anterior, or front end to anchor itself in the earth. It will then contract its muscles to make its body short and bring the posterior, or back end, closer to the front.

The body determines whether certain genes should be expressed or not. Sometimes genes are only turned on once or twice in a life
zmey [24]

The gene which is produced once or twice in a lifetime is the milk producing hormone after childbirth. This is because it is produced only after the birth of the child. The growth of the mammary glands takes place during pregnancy. The breast continue to increase in size after giving birth to a child. After delivery only copious milk is produced which is generally done with the help of milk hormone. During pregnancy the secretion of the milk is inhibited by the estrogen and progesterone which circulates in the blood stream which in turn inhibits the release of prolactin from the pituitary gland thus making the mammary glands unresponsive. Where as insulin is a hormone which helps the body to utilise the sugar or glucose from different sources like carbohydrates that we get while we eat food and adrenaline is secreted when we are scared or when we feel that we are in danger. Therefore, milk producing hormone is the gene that are turned once or twice in a lifetime.

Does mRNA model more closely resemble the DNA strand from which it was transcribed?
Bond [772]

Answer: No, mRNA ( messenger RNA) model does not closely resemble the DNA strand from which it is transcribed.

This is because mRNA strand is complementary to the strand of DNA template that is used in its synthesis during the process called transcription. The polarity of DNA template is 3' to 5' whereas that of mRNA transcribed is 5' to 3' that is both the strands have antiparallel polarity.

This is the reason template DNA is referred antisense. mRNA strand more closely resembles the sense strand ( which is complementary strand of DNA template in a double helix).

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and other vasodilators are used in the early treatment of heart failure. They act
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Option c. cause pooling of the blood and decreased venous return to the heart

Explanation:

The ACE inhibitors increases the diameter of the blood vessels (vasodilation) that improves the flow of blood. This reduces the work load on the heart. At the time of heart failure, a substance called angiotensin is released. This angiotensin formation is blocked by the ACE inhibitors. Angiotensin is involved in narrowing the blood vessels.

The ACE cause pooling of the blood and decreased venous return to the heart. The ACE inhibitors causes vasodilation that allows decrease in blood pressure. So, there is no increase in arterial pressure, aldosterone and loss of volume. Thus, option C is correct.
