Answer: Calcium.

Explanation:

Bone is a metabolically active, multifunctional tissue consisting of a heterogeneous population of cells at different stages of cell differentiation. The skeleton contains 99% of the body's Ca and functions as a reserve of this ion, whose concentration in the blood must be kept constant for normal body functioning. Bone is approximately 70% minerals, 20% organic matrix and about 10% water, which sets it apart from other less rigid connective tissues. The mineral or inorganic matrix is predominantly formed by Ca and P, in the form of hydroxyapatite crystals, Ca3 (PO4) 2, constituting approximately 60 to 70% of the bone weight and being responsible for the stiffness and compressive strength properties.

Brut [27]

Answer: In this type of cross between MmDdPp and mmddpp, the phenotypic ratios in the eight possible phenotypes are as follow; a. solid, normal, smooth = 1:8

b. solid, normal, peach = 1:8

c. solid, dwarf, smooth = 1:8

d. solid, dwarf, peach = 1:8

e. mottled, normal, smooth = 1:8

f. mottled, normal, peach = 1:8

g. mottled, dwarf, smooth = 1:8

h. mottled, dwarf, peach = 1:8

Explanation: The number of gametes that can be formed from a particular genotype is given as 2^n where n is the number of heterozygous loci. In the genotype MmDdPp, n = 3. Therefore, 8 gametes can be formed.

In genotype mmddpp, n = 0. Therefore, only one type of gamete can be formed.

Crossing the two genotype (MmDdPp and mmddpp) as shown in the attached image, 8 possible offsprings can be achieved. Phenotypes of these offspring had been stated earlier. The phenotypic frequency of each of these offspring is one out of eight (⅛).

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

b) In allosteric regulation, a small molecule binds to a large protein and causes it to change its shape and activity.

Explanation:

Allosteric regulation refers to the activity control of an enzyme by binding small molecules to regulatory sites on It. This binding causes an alteration of the protein conformation and consequently the shape of the active site and its catalytic activity are altered. Regulatory enzymes can act by either stimulating or inhibiting the activity of a protein.
