What is the advantage of having a folded inner membrane in the mitochondria

Biology
1 answer:
Aliun [14]3 years ago
8 0

Okay so, the mitochondria are shaped perfectly to maximize their productivity. They are made of two membranes. The outer membrane covers the organelle and contains it like a skin. The inner membrane folds over many times and creates layered structures called cristae. The fluid contained in the mitochondria is called the matrix. The folding of the inner membrane increases the surface area inside the organelle. Since many of the chemical reactions happen on the inner membrane, the increased surface area creates more space for reactions to occur.

Hope that helps (:

In a species of chickens, incomplete dominance between alleles for black (B) and white(w) feathers
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

1/2

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for feather color in chickens. The black allele (B) is incompletely dominant over the white allele (W). This means that the allele B will not mask the phenotypic expression of allele W, hence, a third intermediate blue phenotype (BW) will be produced.

According to the question, if two blue chickens are crossed i.e. BW × BW, the gametes B and W will be produced by each parent. Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following offsprings will be produced:

BB, BW and WW in the ratio 1:2:1

BB is black, BW is blue, WW is white. Hence, the probability of producing a blue chicken from this cross is 1/2.

Botox injections have been approved by the food and drug administration (fda) as a procedure to treat spasms of the flexor muscl
Nostrana [21]

Botox injections comprise Botulinum toxin and is used in the treatment of some kind of eye ailments, like strabismus (crossed eyes) and blepharospasm (involuntary blinking), to treat movement disorders (like torticollis, cervical dystonia) or muscle spasms/stiffness. It can also be used to minimize the cosmetic appearances of wrinkles.

However, due to certain side effects, the drug was ban by FDA, but it has been approved by the FDA for treating spasms of the flexor muscles. Although, there is a scenario that the claim for the application of the drug could be rejected in case of a lack of a medical necessity, that is if it does not fulfil the usual accepted professional medical standards of care.
