Answer:

E

Explanation:

Wind blowing across the body surface increases transpiration of the skin. The winds reduce the local air pressure above the skin allowing the sweat to evaporate faster. As the sweat evaporates, it carries with it heat from the body. This cools the skin much faster than on a non-windy day. This is why a breeze feels so cool on the human skin on a hot day.

Are there any drawbacks to only regulating at the transcriptional level and not the translational level or protein level?
bixtya [17]

Ans.

Gene regulation or regulation of gene expression involves mechanisms, used by the cells to enhance or reduce the expression of specific genes to make proteins or RNA. Gene regulation occurs at transcriptional level and post-transcriptional level, which involves regulation at translational level or protein level.

Regulation at translational level or protein level is also important as regulation at transcriptional level. Translational regulation controls formation of proteins from mRNA molecules and includes non-coding mRNAs and repressor proteins. It is important for cell growth, differentiation and cellular response to stress and provides an immediate adjustment of gene expression  by directly regulating the protein concentration.

Regulation at protein level involves regulation of active protein. It includes regulation by various small molecules, post-translational modifications (such as phosphorylation), and proteolysis. Regulation only at transcriptional level is not sufficient to provide proper gene regulation and leads to various drawbacks, such as Fragile X Syndrome (due to defect in a protein).

Thus, 'gene regulation is important both at transcriptional level and at post-transcriptional level (during translation or protein level).'

Is the creation of genetically unique offspring by two parents?
viktelen [127]
The answer is sexual reproduction in which the creation of offspring by fertilization consisting 2 haploid gametes come together to form a diploid zygote with a new genetic combination. The main difference between sexual and asexual reproduction is that asexual reproduction results in a genetically identical offspring whereas sexual reproduction results in a unique offspring in which offspring with a new genetic combination.

Some individuals have defective genes for LDL receptor receptors rendering them nonfunctional. Individuals with these mutations
deff fn [24]
Individuals with these mutations typically have familial hypercholesterolemia.
These genes provide information for the formation of the low-density lipoprotein receptor, a receptor that binds to low-density lipoproteins (LDLs). LDLs carry the cholesterol in the blood and regulate the amount of cholesterol in the circulation. Mutations to these genes either reduce the number of receptors or cause several disruptions to their function. This results in high blood cholesterol levels and in a higher risk for heart disease.
