How a change in glycoproteins affects a cell’s ability to maintain homeostasis

Biology
1 answer:
Licemer1 [7]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Most of the cell surface receptors and glycoproteins. These glycoproteins have active sites that recognize specific signals, like hormones, that initiate secondary signaling pathways inside of the cell, in response to the external signal. This is how cells respond to environmental stimuli.

If a change in glycoproteins makes them unable to bind signaling molecules (like hormones) or makes them permanently bind these molecules, there will definitely be a defect in how the cell responds to external stimuli.  The cell will be, for example, be unable to respond to insulin in case of elevated blood sugar levels as is the case with diabetics.

crimeas [40]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

Both parent's genotype is Bb because they are hairless and alive.

If it has a homozygous dominant genotype (BB), the dog will die in utero.

If it has a heterozygous genotype (Bb), the dog will be hairless but won't die.

If it has a homozygous dominant genotype (bb), the dog will have hair.

The ratio of BB:Bb:bb is 1:2:1 meaning that there is a 50% probability of having a live hairless puppy.

Hope this helps! <3

55 Which of the following is an advantage of
Savatey [412]

<u>Answer</u>:

"It increases the mutation rate"  is an advantage of  sexual reproduction

<u>Explanation</u>:

The basic thing of evolution is fundamental, as it helps in generation of genetic variation on which the selection can act. Sexual reproduction leads to genetic diversity, and this genetic diversity leads to increase the mutation rate. Genetic diversity occurs because of two various cells which are combining together and biological assortment which happens at the time of cell division. Neutral genetic diversity in the population leads to high mutation rate.
