Solve it: which insulin mutations may result in disease? mastering biology

Biology
1 answer:
bearhunter [10]3 years ago
4 0

The mutations may be a substitution, deletion, inversion, or addition. The mutations in insulin may alter its active sites responsible for receptor binding, or the time taken for the insulin to be degraded (half-life). Mutation on insulin may cause diseases such as hyperproinsulinemia or hyperinsulinemia.

Correlational studies show that prolonged viewing of televised violence______increase rates of violent behavior
Phoenix [80]

<u>ANSWER:</u>

The correct answer is Predicts.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

Prolonged viewing of violent TV programs leads to those viewing the violent programs to react in a violent manner to situations in routine life. When one watches a violent TV program in which a good character reacts violently to a situation, it is accepted by the viewers as the right way of dealing with situations. Therefore, it can be predicted that most viewers will react to the situation violently like the good character of the program.

why is it easier/ faster for our body to digest candy than pasta? candy contains disaccharides and thus contains more substrate
Zanzabum

Pasta contains starch and thus contains more substrate and needs more enzyme to digest.

<h3>What is starch ?</h3>

A polymeric carbohydrate called starch, also known as amylum, is made up of a lot of glucose units connected by glycosidic linkages. The majority of green plants synthesize this polysaccharide as a form of energy storage. It is the most prevalent type of carbohydrate consumed by people worldwide and is present in significant proportions in common foods like wheat, potatoes, maize (corn), rice, and cassava (manioc).

Pure starch is a powder that is white, odorless, tasteless, and insoluble in alcohol or cold water. It is made up of the branching amylopectin and the linear and helical amylose molecules. Starch typically comprises 20 to 25% amylose and 75 to 80% amylopectin by weight, depending on the plant. Animals store their energy in glycogen, which is a more intricately branched form of amylopectin.

How does Natural selection apply to yourself as an individual? will mark the brainliest answer
NARA [144]

Answer:

Natural selection occurs when some of those traits help some individuals survive and reproduce more than others. That causes their genes to become more common in the population over time, and it's the way species evolve to adapt to changes in their environment.

Explanation:

hope this helps =)

At the molecular level, gene duplication often produces novelty in a lineage. This process provides another evolutionary pathway
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Bridgham et al. (2006) showed that the interaction between a steroid hormone (aldosterone-M) and its receptor (mineralocorticoid) evolved by Darwinian gradualism. In this work, the authors demonstrated  a primitive affinity between the hormone and its receptor that was initially present in chemically similar but more ancient ligands. This result has implications in understanding the association between gene duplication and the evolution of hormone signaling pathways. For example, in invertebrates, this work reinforces the importance of gene duplication in the existing interaction between paralogous glucocorticoid receptors and their receptor mineralocorticoid genes that were derived from duplication (Thornton 2001).

The publications above cited are the following:

J.T. Bridgham, S.M. Carroll, and J.W. Thornton (2006). Evolution of hormone-receptor complexity by molecular exploitation. Science, 312(5770), 97-101.
