Answer: option D - the breakdown of essential proteins of the brain and heart

Explanation:

During starvation (food deprivation), the body cells begins to utilize the glycogen reserves in the liver and muscle. Then, it switches to the fats (stored in the adipose tissues).

If starvation persists, the body turns to the proteins for energy derivation. At this stage, the person's DYING STATE is usually visible because the muscles of the body shrinks greatly.

Note that DEATH set in when essential proteins of the BRAIN and HEART are metabolized to produce energy due to the vital functions both organs do in the overall body processes.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are: a.related. b. homologous. c protein-coding, d. comparative. The correct answer is b.

Explanation:

Homology refers to the fact in which the sequences of two or more proteins or nucleic acids are very similar due to the fact that they have the same evolutionary origin. Normally two sequences have a high similarity because they are homologous, that is, they share a common ancestor. If two sequences in an alignment are from a common ancestor, mismatches can be interpreted as point mutations (substitutions), and gaps as insertion or deletion mutations introduced into one or both lineages in the time since they diverged.

Ann [662]

Answer:

1 (100%)

Explanation:

H allele is incompletely dominant to the h allele =Hh ( normal levels of blood cholesterol)

hh homozygotes having extremely high levels of blood cholesterol =hh

If Hh × hh

The F1 generation = Hh, Hh, hh, hh

The probability that their first child will have normal levels of blood cholesterol;

= 1/1

= 1 (100%)
