Answer:

Glut4 is only expressed in insulin-sensitive skeletal an heart muscles and fat tissues.  

Explanation:

Glucose transporters represent a group of integral membrane proteins that allow the transport of glucose molecules across the plasma membrane by the mechanism of facilitated diffusion (i.e., without direct coupling to ATP hydrolysis). In humans, the Glucose Transporter type 4 (GLUT-4) is a glucose transporter encoded by the SLC2A4 gene. This protein plays a critical role in regulating glucose homeostasis by enabling to increase the transport of glucose in response to elevated blood insulin levels in adipocytes, skeletal and cardiac muscle tissues.

Answer:

Explanation:

independent= pH as you will change the pH in order to test your hypothesis and see if it's true

dependent= how amylase works-needs to be measured so you can see how easily it does it function depending on the pH (dependent on the independent variable)

In certain fish, blue scales (B) and red scales (R) are codominant. Cross a blue
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

the genotype of the offspring would be RB, BR, RB, BR (well the genetic pattern of the fish varies for example the fish could have Bg meaning dominant blue and maybe recessive green im making this up and going into detail too much). the phenotype would have to be some sort of mix.

Explanation:

the genotype is the genes on the inside. i just use a table to mix it and assumed both fish were just pure blue/pure red. the phenotype is what's visible. it would be a mix such as maybe purple or red here and blue there. this is since they are both dominant and have to be expressed. same for blood types (AB blood). sorry for late answer.
