Answer: diabetes mellitus

Explanation:

This is a disease condition associated with elevated blood glucose levels.

It is due to abnormalities of the Pancreas. The pancreas coordinates two hormones INSULIN AND GLUCAGON in its cells.

INSULIN converts excess sugar to GLYCOGEN while GLUCAGON breaks down GLYCOGEN to sugar when blood glucose/glucose levels drops.

If the pancreas beta-cells of glucose are faulty, INSULIN fails to converts excess glucose to glycogen; therefore glucose builds up in the blood plasma,and failed to enter the needed cells. Large amount of glucose is wasted in urine.This is diabetes Mellitus.

The two types of diabetes are:

Type 1 and Type 2.

Where are the sensory neurons located in the reflex arc?
Wewaii [24]
<span>Most reflex arcs involve only three neurons. The stimulus, such as a needle stick, stimulates the pain receptors of the skin, which initiate an impulse in a sensory neuron. This travels to the spinal cord where it passes, by means of a synapse, to a connecting neuron called the relay neuron situated in the spinal cord.</span>

During DNA replication, what occurs at the origin of replication? A. The two strands that will make up a DNA double helix begin
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The origin of replication refers to the site at which DNA replication begins. The process of DNA replication - which occurs prior to cell division -  generates a new copy of the DNA.

DNA replication involves unwinding of the DNA double helix, creating a Y shape called the replication fork. The two strands are then replicated, and now there are two DNA molecules, each containing one "old" DNA strand and one "new" DNA strand.

The first stage at the origin of replication is that the enzyme helicase begins splitting apart the strands of a DNA molecule. (C)

The answer is not A, as the two DNA strands are already in the double helix. The answer is not B, as the enzyme responsible for copying the DNA sequence is DNA polymerase, not RNA polymerase. The answer also cannot be D, because although short RNA primers are involved in DNA replication, this does not occur at the origin of replication.
