Answer:

Rest and digest system

Explanation:

The parasympathetic nervous system is a part of the autonomic part of the nervous system which on the basis of the function they perform is known as the rest and digest system.

The parasympathetic system is activated after the sympathetic nervous system which is associated with the fight or flight response.

The rest and digest system dilates the pupil, maintain the blood flow, increases digestion and the relaxes the body after the excited mode due to fight or flight response

Thus, rest and digest system is correct.

Which quantity represents the largest amount of stored energy? 10 grams of fat 10 grams of carbohydrate 10 grams of protein 5 gr
Ainat [17]

Answer:

10 grams of fat.

Explanation:

The four important biomolecules are protein, carbohydrate, fat and nucleic acid. These biomolecules are used for the genereation of ATP in living organisms.

The largest amount of energy is produced by fat as compared with proteins and fats. Hence, 10 grams of fat produce largest amount of energy.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

Describe the process of altering the genetic variation of a cell using a genetically modified virus for human gene therapy. In t
Len [333]
In human gene therapy, a genetically modified virus (a.k.a. a viral vector) can alter the genetic variation of a cell, but not all viral vectors do.

The process often begins with the delivery of or creation of a segment of viral double stranded DNA (containing the gene you want to introduce). Then typically an enzyme known as an integrase cuts the ends of the segment of viral DNA and also cuts open the cell's DNA. Then the viral DNA is integrated/ inserted into the cell's DNA. The connecting ends are ligated together and adjusted so that the nucleotide base pairs match up.

This in the future may affect the gene pool for instance if the viral DNA (your gene) was inserted in the middle of another gene or important regulatory sequence of the cell DNA, and this alteration may be passed on into offspring and become present in the gene pool, which could have bad effects.

The effects on the gene pool really depends on what the virus ends up doing. For example, it may fix the function of a damaged gene which is the goal, and allow for a working gene to be in the gene pool, which would be good. The problem with gene therapy is that it's difficult to predict 100% what the virus will do every time it is given to a patient.

But it's very important to consider that it will only affect the gene pool if the virus is able to enter and alter germ cells (reproductive cells). If the virus, enters somatic cells (regular body cells) this will not be passed on to future generations. So viruses can be designed to avoid germ cells and avoid this gene pool issue. Also, some viral vectors use viruses that do not integrate their DNA, the cells just express the viral DNA (create the desired protein from it) and over time the viral DNA is degraded/ lost which wouldn't pose this threat.

This is long, but I hope it helped!

Irina-Kira [14]
Protein-energy malnutrition is a form of undernutrition caused by an extremely deficient intake of calories, protein, or both. Two examples of this type of malnutrition are kwashiokor and marasmus. Protein-energy malnutrition is more often caused by decreased absorption or abnormal metabolism. It  is defined as a range of pathological conditions arising from coincident lack of protein and/or energy in varying proportions. The condition vary in forms ranging from mild through moderate to severe degrees.
