Answer: Option D) the type of bonds between the monosaccharides

Explanation:

Polysaccharides in plant foods that serve as a stored form of energy include starch, or an indigestible material (fiber) like Cellulose.

Starch consists of monosaccharides i.e glucose units with an alpha α-1, 4-glycosidic bond; while cellulose fiber has the same glucose units, but linked by beta β-1, 4-glycosidic bonds

Thus, both polysaccharides differ based on the types of bonds between the monosaccharides.

A woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a hemophiliac man. What will be their children’s possible phenotypes?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder in which a person's blood do not clots and he can bleed to death even after minor injuries because blood will keep running due to a small cut.

It is a recessive trait which means that even if one normal gene is present along with Hemophiliac gene, the person will not have the disease and he will be the carrier.

Question: What will be their children’s possible phenotypes?

If a woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a hemophiliac man, their genotypes can be denotes as :

Here H, indicate normal gene and small h indicate defected (hemophilia) gene.

Parents:                      XHXh                   X           XhY

Offspring:                   XHXh : XHY:  XhXh:  XhY

Phenotype of offspring:

XHXh:  The child will be daughter and normal (25 % chances)

XHY:     The child will be son and normal (25 % chances)

XhXh:   The child will be girl and Hemophiliac (25 % chances)

XhY:      The child will be son and Hemophiliac (25 % chances)

Nitric oxide is a paracrine signal molecule because NO
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

C. is unstable, with a short half life

Explanation:

Paracrine hormones are the hormones that act on neighboring cells only. These hormones or chemicals are largely unstable and have a brief life as do not visit the distantly placed target cells. For instance, somatostatin is secreted by D cells of the pancreas. It acts in a paracrine manner and inhibits the discharge of hormones from the neighboring beta and alpha cell.

Likewise, one of the functions of unstable NO gas is to serve as a vasodilator. It is released by epithelium cells and serves to dilate arterioles and relax precapillary sphincters. Then it is degraded.

People behave the way they do because of situation as well as genetics.

<h3>Why people behave the way they do?</h3>

People behave as they do in response to the way they are treated by other people as well as in response to situation. In their behaviour, they have also a genetic factor that influence their behaviour.

So we can conclude that people behave the way they do because of situation as well as genetics.

Suppose that Zonosemata flies whose own wings had been clipped and reattached were attacked more frequently than untreated Zonos
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

(c)-All results for the experimental groups involving wing surgery would be invalid.  

Explanation:

The study researcher shown in the above question noted that flies that underwent wing surgery were more attacked than those that received no wing treatment. However, the researcher does not show the study variables and, consequently, does not show any relationship between the variables and the research result. For this reason, we can state that based on this result, all results for experimental groups involving wing surgery would be invalid.
