Answer:

The correct answer is a. "exon; intron".

Explanation:

According to the article "Distributions of exons and introns in the human genome" published in the scientific journal "In silico biology", an average human gene have 8.8 exons and 7.8 introns. Regardless of having similar proportions, human exons and introns differ in their lenght. An average exon's length is about 170 bp, when the average intron's length is 5419 bp. Therefore, most of the genetic material is comprised of introns (90%), while only a small part is comprised of exons (10%).

Answer:

Used the C1V1 = C2V2 method for calculations

Explanation:

Component      Calculation       Volume of Stock to be added

FBS:             100*V1 = 10*25                  2.5 mL

Glutamine:     200*V1 = 2*25                  0.25 mL

Penicillin:      10000V1 = 100*25          0.25 mL

Streptomycin:     10000V1 = 100*25            0.25 mL

NB: C1 = Stock Concentration; V1 = Volume of stock required; C2 = Final concentration required; V2 = Final volume required

Why is the pancreas considered part of the endocrine system
forsale [732]
The Pancreas is a glandular organ in the upper abdomen, but really it serves as two glands in one: a digestive exocrine gland and a hormone-producing endocrine gland. Functioning as an exocrine gland, the Pancreas excretes enzymes to break down the proteins, lipids, carbonhydrates, and nucleic acids in food.
