The major function of RNA is B) To transport genetic information.
Answer: The SA node
Answer choices are:
<span>A. </span>The AV node
<span>B. </span>The SA node
<span>C. </span>The purkinje fibers
<span>D. </span>The AV bundle
The SA node<span> is the heart's natural pacemaker consisting of a cluster of cells located in the upper part of the wall of the right atrium. (the right upper chamber of the heart). The electrical impulses are produced and sent out from there to regulate heartbeat. This is also called the sinus code. </span>
<h2>Scurvy </h2>
Explanation:
(a) Collagen is the major structural component of cartilage,bones and tendons
- The basic unit of collagen is tropocollagen and each tropocollagen consists of three coiled left handed polypeptide chains called α chains
- Generally each α chain consists of a repeating tripeptide sequence called: G-X-Y
- Here G represents glycine; X represents proline and Y represents hydroxyproline
- Rigidity of collagen molecule is due to presence of proline and hydroxyproline
- Hydroxylation of proline is catalysed by prolyl hydroxylase enzyme which use ascorbate,α ketoglutarate and oxygen
- α ketoglutarate is oxidatively decarboxylated to form carbon dioxide and succinate
- Sequence of events leading from a dietary vitamin C deficiency to symptoms such as bruising and breakdown of supporting tissues includes: tissue levels of ascorbic acid is low; enzyme prolyl hydroxylase is inactive; proline is not hydroxylated; the triple helix is inadequately stabilized; collagen breaks down; defects in tissues that depend on collagen
; tissues that depend on collagen are subject to breakdown and bruising
(b) Sailors are no longer susceptible to scurvy because fresh fruits which are the source of vitamin C source are available now
British sailors called "limeys" to this day,this term reflects the British navy's use of limes
Answer: 75% of the plants are purple and 25% are white. The phenotypic ratio can be expressed as 3:1.
Explanation:
Heterozygous means that its genotype has two distinct alleles, i.e. a dominant and a recessive one. So the genotype of the plants is Pp, and each plant has two alleles since<u> they are diploid organisms, which have two copies of each gene.
</u>
<u>Each plant produces gametes, which are haploids cells. That is, they only have one copy of each gene (one allele)</u>. So, the gametes produced by Pp have a P or p genotype. During fertilization, the maternal and paternal gamete are fused to form a diploid zygote where their genotype will have one allele from the father and one from the mother.
By making this monohybrid cross, we cross the gametes of each parent in the punnett square (see picture)
In the offspring, we see one PP genotype (homozygous dominant), two Pp genotypes (heterozygous) and one pp genotype (homozygous recessive). <u>Since we know the P allele is dominant and it codes for purple color, a genotype only needs one P allele to express that phenotype</u>. So Pp and PP organisms are purple, and only pp is white. That means 75% of the plants are purple and 25% are white. The phenotypic ratio can be expressed as 3:1.
Answer:
39.82 %
Explanation:
Proteins and carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram. On the other hand, fats provide 9 calories.
We can first calculate the calories of protein + carbohydrates:
(30g + 4g) x 4 = 136 calories
And we must calculate the calories provided by fat:
10g x 9 = 90 calories
Now to get the percentage we must see how many calories the dessert has in total:
136 + 90 = 226 cal
This represents 100% of calories. And now we need to find out how much 90 calories are from the total.
226 cal -----> 100%
90 cal ------> X
(90 x 100) / 226 = 39.82 %
