The right answer is glutamate

Glutamate is a major excitatory neurotransmitter associated with learning and memory.

It is also associated with Alzheimer's disease whose first symptoms are felt in memory.

Most people unknowingly consume monosodium glutamate (MSG), a commonly used food additive.

An experiment was done on healthy patients, giving them 12 grams of glutamate. It was found that the experience led to headaches, nausea or jaw pain in 50-60% of cases.

It was also measured the level of glutamate contained in the muscles of patients with jaw problems. The tests concluded that the most painful muscles were those containing the highest levels of glutamate.

According to him, one of the keys to chronic pain could lie in the development of drugs that reduce the rate of glutamate.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Color blindness is a common hereditary condition which means it usually passes from parents. Red green color blindness is passed on from the mother to the son.

The chromosome number 23 is the sex chromosome also responsible for colorblindness. As it is sex linked the son can receive the recessive allele from the mother.

The mother of the child had a recessive allele which she transferred into her son. As it is sex inherited disease the son is affected by gene carried from mother.

1. shotgun

2. inbreeding

3. cloning

4. Y chromosomes

5. The Human Genome Project sought to map a human's entire genome.

6. Inbreeding is a type of selective breeding that occurs when individuals with similar characteristics continue to be bred in an attempt to keep a certain set of traits. However, inbred organisms are genetically similar, and the probability that members of the population will receive mutated alleles leading to disorders is high.

7. Since no two humans have the same DNA, except for identical twins, forensics can take advantage of this fact by using DNA fingerprinting to solve crimes, convict wrongdoers, or overturn unjust convictions.

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

A protein with its amino-terminus in the cytoplasm and its carboxy-terminus in the extracellular space. (Ans. A)

Explanation:

Integral membrane protein (IMP) is defined as a membrane protein molecule which is directly attached to the biological membrane known as phospholipid bilayers. All transmembrane proteins are integral membrane protein but not all integral membrane protein are transmembrane proteins.

Integral membrane proteins function as a transporter, receptors, channels, proteins which is responsible for cell adhesion, proteins are also Involved in transduction and build up of energy.

Membrane proteins are class according to their transmembrane domain properties. The N-terminus of an integral membrane protein type I is in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen, where N-terminus of an integral membrane protein type II in the cytoplasm.
