Answer:

Regulatory gene

Explanation:

Transcription is one of the major processes that occurs during gene expression. It is the transfer of the genetic instructions in DNA to mRNA. A strand of mRNA is made using complementary base pairs.

However, there is need for gene expression to be regulated.

Gene regulation refers to the mechanism that acts to induce or repress the expression of a gene. These include structural & chemical changes to the genetic material, binding of proteins to specific DNA elements to regulate transcription. These proteins that influences transcription by binding to specific nucleotide sequences (DNA segments/gene) are referred to as REGULATORY PROTEINS and those involved in regulating transcription of genes are called TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS.

Regulatory proteins controls the rate and manner of gene expression by binding to specific genes, thus, making it easy or hard for RNA polymerase (enzyme that attaches to DNA to synthesize mRNA molecule) to bind to the promoter of that gene.

Transcription factors (regulatory proteins) that promote gene transcription are called ACTIVATORS while those that decrease are called REPRESSORS.

specific macrophage populations promote both cardiac scar deposition and subsequent resolution in adult zebrafish
vova2212 [387]

Specific macrophage populations help by promoting both cardiac scar deposition and subsequent resolution in adult zebrafish. It is a correct statement.

<h3>What is the effect of macrophages on zebrafish?</h3>

There is an inflammatory response to tissue injury. It is an important part of the process of repair. Scar tissue deposition is a direct downstream consequence of this kind of response in several tissues including the heart tissue.

Adult zebrafish do not only have the ability to regenerate lost cardiomyocytes. They can also remodel and resolve a scar which is extracellular, in tissues like the heart. This resolution of the scar is a poorly understood process.

Therefore, specific macrophage populations help by promoting both cardiac scar deposition and subsequent resolution in adult zebrafish.

How will the cardiac output change if you double the heart rate but reduce the stroke volume by one-half? how will the cardiac o
melamori03 [73]
<span>The answer is that there will be no change.

 The cardiac output is the volume of blood pumped by the heart per unit time.

Multiplying the stroke volume and the heart rate gives you the cardiac output. The cardiac output for a person at rest is approximately 5L per minute.</span>

How many different species are there?kings and kigdoms
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

2 and 100 million

Because of the difficulties with both defining and tallying the total numbers of different species in the world, it is estimated that there are anywhere between 2 and 100 million different species.

How do the hormones of the pancreas maintain homeostasis?
faust18 [17]
Hormones glucagon and insulin are produced in the alpha and beta cells respectively in the Islet of Langerhan in the pancreas. They are involved in the negative feedback system of blood glucose regulation in homeostasis.

GLUCAGON: when there is a low blood glucose concentration, the pancreas detect this and alpha cells produce and release glucagon. Glucagon causes the cells of the body to absorb less glucose from the blood. It also inhibits the process of converting glucose into glycogen (glycogenesis) and cause gluconeogenesis (process of converting amino acids/proteins and lipids/fats into glucose) and glycogenolysis (conversion of glycogen to glucose). Finally, glucagon decreases the rate of respiration so less glucose is required.

INSULIN: when blood glucose is high, insulin is released. Insulin binds with cell surface receptors of cells and activates the enzymes attached to the receptor. The enzymes cause a conformational change in the structural proteins that surround glucose transport protein containing vesicles, causing them to move out of the way so the vesicles migrate up to the cell membrane and glucose transport proteins can fuse with it. Thus, more glucose can be taken in by cells. Insulin also cause glycogenesis (converting glucose into glycogen) and inhibits gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.

Basically insulin decreases blood glucose concentration (eg. after eating) and glucagon increases it (eg. skipping breakfast in the morning)

In the F2 generation of a dihybrid cross two phenotypes appear in the ratio 1:1. two phenotypes appear in the ratio 3:1. four ph
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

four phenotypes appear in the ratio 9:3:3:1

Explanation:

<em>For a dihybrid cross in which the two genes concerned obey simple dominant/recessive law and are independently assorting, </em><em>four phenotypes are produced in the ratio 9:3:3:1. </em>

The dominant gene takes up the largest ratio (9/16) while the recessive gene takes up the smallest (1/16). Any deviation from 9:3:3:1 and the number of phenotypes produced from a dihybrid cross is an indication that the genes involved do not obey Mendelian laws.
