Answer:
A. Mutations change the nucleotide sequence of the gene, resulting in a different arrangement of amino acids.
Explanation:
Mutations alter the sequence of nucleotides in a molecule of DNA. DNA is used to create mRNA, which is used to create a chain of amino acids that make a protein. If the mutation changes the sequence of DNA, then the sequence of amino acids and the final protein will be different.
This can affect its structure and function. If the protein is a cell surface protein, and its structure is significantly altered, antibodies may no longer recognise and bind to the protein.
Answer:
C) Release of von Willebrand factor (vWF) from the endothelium, not the epithelium.
Explanation:
Hemostasis is the physiological process of reparation and maintenance of a blood vessel to stop excess loss of blood in case of vascular injury. This process occurs in four stages:
- Vascular Injury i.e. a breach in the endothelial barrier. This results in the dislodge of endothelial cells, exposing the collagen fibers underneath.
- Vascular constriction or vasoconstriction is the constriction of the blood vessels to prevent excessive blood loss.
- Platelet plug formation involves the aggregation and adhesion of platelets to the endothelium.
- Coagulation
Platelet plug formation occurs by the adhesion of circulating platelets to the collagen fibers that have been exposed by dislodging of the endothelial cells. The endothelium, as well as the platelets release a ligand known as the von Willebrand factor (vWF). This molecule acts as a relay or bridge between the integrin receptors on the platelets and the exposed collagen fibers.
Platelets also release chemicals to attract more platelets to the wound site, resulting in more vWF release. This results in more and more platelets adhering to the endothelium, leading to platelet plug formation.
Answer:
13
Explanation:
At the end of mitosis there would be half the amount of cells. Therefore, 13 daughter cells.
Answer:
Bateria
Explanation:
In humans, the flu virus and streptococcal bacteria cause infectious diseases, and they spread from person to person. In contrast, non-infectious (abiotic) disorders in humans include health conditions which are not transmitted from person to person or caused by an infectious agent
It is Choice B "by drinking water and other liquids"
