"Which describes the action of a ligand's competitive antagonist?"

-A.) It decreases the amount of ligand required to activate the protein.

-B.) It blocks the binding of the ligand to its binding site and prevents activation of the protein.

-C.) It binds to a different binding site on the protein, altering the protein shape so that a ligand cannot bind.

D.) When present, it increases the binding of a ligand to its receptor.

Your answer would be "B".

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Linked genes are the genes that are present on the same chromosome and can undergo the process the recombination. The recombinant progeny are obtained by the crossing of the linked genes.

The recombinant frequency and map distance can be deduced by the mapping of the linked genes. The genotype of the heterozygote cannot be deduced by examining phenotype and sometimes the recombinant progeny is completely different from the parents as well as from the heterozygotes.

Thus, the correct answer is false.

katovenus [111]

Answer and Explanation: The figure below shows the doses of BPA administered to the female mice over time.

An experiment is used to determine cause and effect among variables. When the research is for the impact of a treatment, researchers randomly separate individuals in two groups:

Control Group doesn't receive any treament or a placebo or a treatment whose outcome is already known;
Treatment Group receives the treatment;

For the female mice on the image below, in the First Group is not injected any dosage of BPA, so they are the control group, while the others are treatment group.

The variables in a experiment are classified as independents or dependents:

Independent Variable is the cause;
Dependent Variable is the effect;

For the BPA research, since it is the effect of BPA over time on the mice's cells it is being investigated, dosage of BPA is the independent variable and time is the dependent variable.
