Okay. First of all lets discuss what is meant by a positive feed back mechanism. In simplistic terms, this is where the process of adding something will increase what is already happening. So what does Oxytocin do? Well if you are a woman in labor, you are experiencing a lot of pain because the walls of the uterus are contracting (essentially squeezing the baby out). Oxytocin plays the role of simulating more contractions and therefore by make more contractions more Oxytocin is released! its a continual cycle of increasing contractions and increasing the hormone levels to help push out the baby.
Does that make sense?  <span />

How many different codons can code for the amino acid tryptophan (Trp)?
Minchanka [31]
The chart very nicely lays out the amino acid each codon corresponds to. You're looking for "trp" in the chart, which only appears once, beside the UGG codon. Therefore, only one codon codes for tryptophan.

The vector that would be the best choice for cystic fibrosis gene therapy is adeno-associated virus for it has valuable reasons.

Therefore, this vector will definitely treat cystic fibrosis for it can target affected cells, which is a great help in the normal functioning of an organ.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The option 'All cells contain a nucleus' is not a part of the cell theory.

Explanation:

The cell theory proposed by scientists illustrates that every organism whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic is made up of a cell or different kinds of cells. It also that explains that cells are made from living things. According to the cell theory, cells are termed as the basic unit of life, without which life is not possible.

The cell theory does not claim that every cell must have a nucleus because many cells like cells of prokaryotes lack nucleus. Their genetic material is dispersed in the cytoplasm.
