Coleman hypothesized that the product of the ob+ gene was the appetite-suppressing hormone. Therefore, the homozygous ob/ob mutant would be unable to synthesize that hormone, and its circulating level would be zero. Coleman also hypothesized that the product of the db+ gene was the the receptor for the appetite-suppressing hormone. Therefore, the homozygous db?db mutant would be able to respond to it. It would eat excessively and produce large amounts of body fat, which in turn would produce large amounts of appetite-suppressing hormone. In the absence of a receptor, the db/db mutant's hormone level would remain abnormally high.
Both the ob/ob mutant and the db/db mutant are obese because neither is capable of suppressing its appetite. The ob/ob mutant produces no appetite suppressing hormone and so eats excessively. The db/db mutant cannot respond to the appetite-suppressing hormone and therefore eats excessively.

You must pack food that has high concentrations of fat and protein. Food like granola bars and canned meat are a good source of energy and heat. This is because the body breaks this food down easily converting it into usable energy. Though some people would suggest that you pack food that are high in carbohydrates, fats and proteins are long-term sources of energy that you would need for your hiking trip.

The failure of the attempt to reintroduce clapper rails in California was an example of the _____.
Lemur [1.5K]

The correct answer is option D, difficulty of redesigning workable ecosystems

Reason -

The area that was redesigned into an ecosystem actually failed to attract the endangered species of clapper rails in California because of the following two reasons –

a) Failed attempt of restoration of Cord grass ( a tree which is a dominant tree in the nesting habitat of clapper rail) . Even if few such trees were there they could not grow to their full height and thus were incapable of providing adequate nesting cover

b) Due to the lack of predatory insect, some herbivore insect in the ecosystem attacked the green grasses thereby making the nesting inadequate.

What similarities in flower structure are found among the plants in the rose family
emmainna [20.7K]

The rose family is a medium-sized family of flowering plants. The rose family (Rosaceae) is one of the major angiosperm families. The leaves are generally arranged spirally. Flowers of plants in the rose family are generally described as "showy". They are actinomorphic and almost always hermaphroditic.  Rosaceae generally have five sepals, and five petals. They also have many spirally arranged stamens. The bases of the sepals, petals, and stamens are fused together to form a  cup-like structure called a hypanthium. They can be arranged in racemes, spikes, or heads; solitary flowers are rare.
