An example of antagonistic hormones controlling homeostasis is insulin and glucagon metabolism. The regulation of blood glucose concentration illustrates how the endocrine system maintains homeostasis by the action of antagonistic hormones. When the concentration of blood glucose rises beta cells secrete insulin into the blood; which stimulates the liver and most other body cells to absorb glucose, when the concentration of blood glucose drops, alpha cells secrete glucagon into the blood which stimulates the liver to release glucose.

A species of fly has two alleles for the length of their legs. The allele for long
Artyom0805 [142]
The answer is A. 0.54.

In a population p+q=1 (we have 2 alleles only).

The question states that 0.21 of the population(21%) have short legs meaning they are q^2.

So q=rad0.21=0.4582.

And p=1-q=0.5417.

Describe the key features of the Watson-Crick model for DNA structure.
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Watson and Crick proposed the double helical model of DNA.

Explanation:

- This model says that DNA exist as double helix. It has two polynucelotide strands running in opposite direction i.e the strands are anti-parallel.

- Each polynucleotide strand is made up of several nucleotide liknked together by phophodiester bonds.

- The two strands are not coiled upon each other but the double strand is coiled upon itself around a common axis like the spiral stair case. Here base pairs forms the stairs and backbone of two strands form railing. Back bone contains sugar and phosphate.

- The base pairing is specific, adenine always pairs with thymine and guanine always pairs with cytosine. Thus if we see any base pair, it consists of one purine and one pyrimidine.

- The two strands of DNA thus show complementary base pairing.

- The strands are held together because of hydrogen bonding between the bases in opposite strand.

- One full helical turn involves ten base pairs and the base pairs are stacked  3.4 A apart.

- This form is called as B-form of DNA.
