Hox genes are sometimes called "master switches". They have acquired this nickname because a single Hox gene will turn on (or of

f) several related genes. That means that a single Hox gene cannot have a large effect on phenotype.

Gwar [14]3 years ago

Answer: B. False

Explanation:

“Hox” genes are a highly conserved group of genes, all of whose products are transcription factors bearing a specific domain (called a ”homeodomain”). The transcriptional activity of a large amount of genes relevant to embryonic development is controlled by regulatory sites which are able to bind to this domain. Changes in the transcriptional activity of even a single Hox gene may thus have dramatic downstream effects on the phenotype, as this will result in several further genes having their transcription either enhanced or suppressed.

Antibiotic resistance in bacteria is the result of
Natalija [7]
C. Genetic variation

Bacteria are very numerous,  and random mutation of bacterial DNA generates a wide variety of change, including resistance. It happens through mutation and selection. Not only are they capable of sharing genetic bits of DNA to related and unrealted species they can develop ways to remove the antibiotic before it reaches its intended area via biochemical pumps or enzymes to inactiavte the antibiotic.

The neuromuscular junction is a well-studied example of a chemical synapse. Which of the following statements describes a critic
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

A- Acetylcholine is released by axon terminals of the motor neuron.

Explanation:

The general mechanism of muscle contraction can be explained as follows:

a) The action potential which is generated, travels along the motor nerve to its ends on muscle fiber (or motor end plate) at the neuro-muscular junction.

b) The nerve endings then secrete small amounts of neurotransmitter called acetylcholine.

c) The actylecholine binds to the receptors on the membrane of muscle fiber and opens the voltage gated sodium channels.

d) Opening of these channels leads to flow of large quantities of sodium ions into the muscle fiber which ultimately results in initiation of action potential in muscle fiber.  

e) This action potential depolarizes the fiber including the T-tubules, triggering the release of calcium ions from sarcoplasmic reticulum.

f) The calcium ions thus released initiated the process of muscle contraction.
