Answer:

Option-D, a segment of DNA

Explanation:

A gene represents the particular segment of DNA which contains the instruction for the trait of an organism. The nucleotide sequence present in the segment provides the instruction in the form of codons.

The gene is present in the form of its alternative form called alleles which are located on the chromosomes at locus. The alleles represent the variants of the gene and therefore controls the two variety of a single trait.

Thus, Option-D is correct.

Describe the disadvantages of an open circulatory system relative to a closed circulatory system.
sp2606 [1]

Explanation:

<em>The disadvantage of a closed circulatory system is that with the blood always contained in vessels, it's under higher pressure. This means it can flow faster, which is necessary for supporting the metabolic rate of more complex animals such as vertebrates. Open circulatory systems are low-pressure systems that cannot meet the needs of a fast metabolism</em>.

In the absence of substance M, a hypothetical LM operon is turned off. If substance M is abundant, it can bind to the repressor,
Andrei [34K]

Answer:Inducible;inducer

Explanation:

Induction is the phenomenon of increased synthesis of protein or and enzyme in response to certain signal. Such enzymes are called inducible and the signals are called inducer. Induction is turning ''on''the switch of a gene.

When M is present in the medium, M binds the repressor protein. The repressor-M complex is inactive which does not bind to the operator region of LM. Now RNAP can transcribe the structural genes of LM.

M switches the gene ''on''. Hence M is an inducer of LM. LM is an inducible operon

Maria is a 121-lb endurance athlete who is planning to employ carbohydrate loading before her next race. Which strategy correctl
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

Four to six days prior to the event, Maria should consume 550 g of carbohydrate daily and decrease to 220 to 275 g of carbohydrate daily 1 to 3 days prior to the event.

Explanation:

Carbohydrate loading is for constant  supply of  constant energy as ATPs for the skeletal muscles cells during high intense activity, to reduce fatigue, and increase performance for upmost performance.

The   main objective  is to  sustaining muscle  contraction during intense  exercise  

The practice   involved increase in   intake of high carbohydrate meals  a   few weeks before the commencement of the sporting activities. This is stored  as  muscle glycogen, as well as in the  liver glycogen and brain.  

The physiology involved  the conversion of  muscle glycogen  to glucose -6-phopahate in the liver, and its entry  into Glycolysis, and Krebs’s cycle to generate ATPs.

The use of muscle glycogen during strenuous exercise reduces   blood glucose uptake, and ensured that its level is at a relatively constant value for the body homeostatic conditions, without exogenous carbohydrate intake
