Most of the alcohol consumed is metabolized by an enzyme present in liver of human beings called as alcohol dehydrogenase.The metabolism of alcohol occurs in two simple steps .During the first step of metabolism alcohol is converted into acetaldehyde by the enzyme called alcohol dehydogenase (ADG) and the product formed is acetyldehyde .This acetyldehyde is then broken down into another product called acetate with the help of enzyme aldehyde dehydrogease (ALDH) which in turn is converted into carbon dioxide and water.

<em>Examples of a nonspecific external response to infectious agents and harmful bacteria are the following;</em>

Mucus, saliva, and tears.

They are nonspecific external responses that help to prevent pathogens from entering our bodies.

The specifics contain types of enzymes that break down the bacterial cell walls. An external response of Mucus tends to trap pathogens as well.

Effectus [21]

Answer:

Basidiocarp

Explanation:

This is a multicellular structure found in mushroom that are visible to the naked eye and are spore producing. They are the structures of which spore producing basidia are formed. They called called false ruffles. The basidiocarps serve as the structure on which the hymenium is produced. They are the fruiting bodies of mushroom.

In horses, the allele for a black coat (B) is dominant over the allele for a brown coat (b). A cross between a black horse and a

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Bb X bb

Explanation:

It is given that the allele B for the black coat is dominant over allele b for a brown coat.

A dominant allele always leads to the expression of the dominant trait in the heterozygous condition.

When a black and brown horse is crossed as given in the question and the result is a brown foal, then the genotype of the brown foal must be bb as the brown coat is a recessive trait.

Since each parent contributes one allele each for a given gene, the black horse must have b allele, and hence must be heterozygous Bb.
The cross is shown in the punnett square.
