Complete question: While taking a walk in a park, Muskaan observed an insect on a pitcher plant (Nepenthes). Immediately the flower opened up and the insect slid down. To which of the following categories does the pitcher plant belongs?

a) Saprophytes

b) Insectivorous

c) Parasite

d) Symbiotic

Answer:

The correct answer is option b. Insectivorous

Explanation:

A carnivorous or insectivorous plant is the one that obtains most of its nutritional necessities from the capture and consumption of protozoans or animals, especially insects and arthropods.

These insectivorous plants grow in poorly nutritional soil, so they need to get nutrients from their prey. These species attract and trap their prey, and by the action of specific enzymes and digestive bacterias, they can absorb the insects' nutrients.

These insectivorous plants make use of their flowers to trap the prey. These tramp flowers are cup-shaped, and at the bottom of this cup, there is a liquid where insects get trapped and die.

Insects are attracted by aromas produced by the edges of the trap and when they land, they slip and fall inside, and once drowned, the enzymes digest them.

inn [45]

Answer: Option A.

nephron loop multiplies the concentration of salts in the interstitial fluid of the kidney medulla.

Explanation:

countercurrent multiplier is a system that utilize energy that create osmotic gradients and enable reabsorption of water thereby increase concentration of urine. The countercurrent multiplier uses electrolyte pumps there by making the nephron loop increase the concentration of salts in the interstitial fluid of the kidney medulla because it allows the nephron to reabsorb alot of water and and increase the concentration of urine for excretion while at the same time using as little energy as possible.

Blood enters which of these vessels during ventricular systole?
Ganezh [65]
Ventricular systole is when the ventricles of the heart as the result of electrical activity which helps to pump blood. During ventricular systole oxygenated blood is pumped from the left ventricle through the aortic valve and aorta. Simultaneously deoxygenated blood is pumped from the right ventricle through the pulmonic valve and pulmonary artery to the lungs. Using this explanation blood enters  the aorta and pulmonary artery during ventricular systole. <span />

A polypeptide in a wild type microbe contains the sequence Leu-Pro-Tyr-Ser-Pro. A phenotypic variant of the species has the pept
Katen [24]

Answer:

The mentioned case is an illustration of the missense mutation. A missense mutation is a kind of nonsynonymous substitution, that is, it is a mutation in which a variation in a solitary nucleotide leads to the formation of a codon, which encrypts for a distinct kind of amino acid.  

When a missense mutation takes place within a DNA, a modification in one of the RNA codon sequences results at the time of transcription. This change in codon will ultimately result in the formation of a different amino acid, which gets presented within a protein at the time of translation. Like in the given case, a change in codon resulted in the substitution of the amino acid tyrosine with an amino acid cysteine.
