Insulin levels would increase. The fact that more insulin will be required to convert glucose to glycogen accounts for this.

The right answer is Insulin levels would increase.

Insulin is a polypeptide hormone involved in the glucose cycle.

Synthesized by β-cells of islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, insulin allows the absorption of glucose by muscle cells and adipocytes, and its conversion to glycogen or fatty acids. It is therefore a hypoglycemic hormone.

Its role is to maintain the constant concentration of blood glucose. When its secretion is insufficient, there is onset of diabetes, which is why diabetics receive regular injections of insulin.

In certain mice, long tails (T) are dominant over short tails (t). If 2 hybrid mice mate, what will the outcome be?
yuradex [85]

Answer:

3 long tails : 1 short tail

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for tail length in mice. The allele for long tail (T) is dominant over the allele for short tail (t). This means that an heterozygous mice will possess the long tail length.

According to this question, in a cross between two hybrid or heterozygote mice i.e. Tt × Tt, the following gametes will be produced by each parent:

Tt - T and t

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following will be produced: TT, Tt, Tt and tt.

Offsprings with genotype TT, Tt and Tt will have a LONG TAIL while genotype  tt will have a SHORT TAIL. Hence, the phenotypic ratio will be 3 long tails : 1 short tail.
