Answer:

regulation of the diameter of blood vessels and control of blood pressure

Explanation:

Skeletal muscles are the multinucleated muscles with striations and are attached to the bones (skeleton). The main function of skeletal muscles is to generate the voluntary movement of the body or body parts. The skeletal muscles of face, rectum, and urinary bladder generate their voluntary movement as per the will of the organism. On the other hand, blood vessels are lined with smooth muscles with spindle-shaped cells.

For example, the muscles present in the subcutaneous layer of the skin of the face are responsible for various facial expressions. Contraction of these facial muscles brings about the movement of skin of the face to generate a wide variety of emotions. Smooth muscles of blood vessels are involuntary in nature.

Vasodilation and vasoconstriction as brought about by smooth muscles of blood vessels are regulated by the autonomic nervous system. Under the conditions of lower blood pressure, contraction of smooth muscles of blood vessels restore the reduced blood pressure. On the other hand, when the blood pressure rises above the normal range, the smooth muscles of blood vessels relax to dilate them and to lower down the blood pressure.

During translation, nucleotide base triplets (codons) in mRNA are read in sequence in the 5’ → 3’ direction along the mRNA. Amin
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, it lacks the mRNA sequence. The sequence is as follows:

5′−AUGGCAAGAAAA−3′

The answer is Met-Ala-Arg-Lys

Explanation:

Gene expression in living organisms involves the process of transcription and translation. Transcription is the synthesis of a complementary strand of mRNA from a DNA template while translation involves using the transcibed mRNA as a template to synthesize amino acid sequence (proteins).

In the RIBOSOME, where the synthesis of protein occurs, the mRNA nuceleotide sequence is read in a group of three nucleotides called CODON. Each codon specifies a particular amino acid. The collection of all codons is the genetic code. Hence, for a specific mRNA sequence that reads 5′−AUGGCAAGAAAA−3′. The nucleotides will be read three at a time starting with AUG which is a codon that encodes METHIONINE.

Next, GCA is a codon that encodes ALANINE

Next, AGA is a codon that encodes ARGININE

Finally, AAA is a codon that encodes LYSINE.

Hence, the amino acid sequence using the above mRNA sequence, will read: Met-Ala-Arg-Lys

The process of bones increasing in thickness is known as ________.
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The cells lying in the deeper layer of periosteum are known as osteoblasts (bone forming cells). These cells divide continuously and form the osteocytes, thus increase the thickness of bone. ... The process of reshaping the bone is called <u>remodeling </u>and it is one of the major factors responsible for increasing size of marrow cavity.
