The answer is excessive narrowing of blood vessels.

When exposed to the cold, our body tries to reduce its heat loss by tightening the arterioles under the skin (vasoconstriction). This mechanism increases the flow of blood into the deep veins and allows the body to maintain its internal temperature.

In people with Raynaud's disease, this reaction is excessive: the nerves that control the tightening of arterioles are hypersensitive and cause spasm, rather than normal vasoconstriction. When the spasm stops, the arterioles dilate again, restoring blood circulation.

Why is a frameshift missense mutation more likely to have a severe effect on phenotype than a nucleotide-pair substitution misse
Aneli [31]

Explanation:

A single nucleotide-pair substitution missense mutation causes a change of a single amino acid into another. Aa a result, the produced protein will have an almost normal sequence except for one amino acid.

On the other hand, a frameshift mutation changes the Open Reading Frame (ORF) of the ribosome. The ribosome moves along the mRNA every three nucleotides (codons) and translates them into amino acids that will form the nascent protein. If there is a frameshift mutation (an insertion or deletion of a number of nucleotides not multiple of three) the ribosome will "read" the mRNA differently and will identify different codons than the wild-type sequence, so a large number of amino acids will be different in the mutated protein.

You add polynucleotide phosphorylase to a solution of ATP, GTP, and UTP. How many artificial mRNA 3 nucleotide codons would be p
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D, that is, 27.

Explanation:

27 three-nucleotide codons would be possible when polynucleotide phosphorylase is supplemented to a solution of GTP, ATP, and UTP. As there are three nucleotides available, that is, guanine, adenine, and uracil and each codon comprise three nucleotides, thus, there would be a probability of (3)^3 codons, that is, 27.

What statement does NOT pertain to the cephalic phase of gastric secretion? (It controls the rate at which chyme enters the smal
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

It controls the rate at which chyme enters the small intestine

Explanation:

Cephalic phase is one of the phase of gastric secretion (other two are gastric phase and intestinal phase) that begins even before food enters the oral cavity. Thinking of food stimulates the release of gastric juice via  parasympathetic nervous system). Food that enters the stomach also stimulates the secretion of gastric juice by parietal cells. Partially digested food directly activates  G cells (Enteroendocrine cells) to secrete gastrin which also stimulates the release of gastric juice.
