Answer:

Weeks.

Explanation:

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are common antidepressants prescribed for patients with depression and anxiety disorders. However, these medications do not have an immediate effect. They usually have full effect within weeks, depending on the patient.

This delay, can be explained by the mechanism of action of these drugs. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors act by blocking the serotonin transporter which transports serotonin into the brain cells.This results in more being available outside the cells where it has it effects.

SSRIs don't work instantaneously because they do not target the transporter directly. They rather, bind to the DNAs that produce the transporter and therefore makes them less active and this leads to lower amount of transporters available. This process takes time.

What is the most population city?
photoshop1234 [79]

The correct answer is - Tokyo.

The most populated city in the world is the capital of the East Asia island country of Japan, Tokyo. Tokyo is a huge city, in fact, the city itself has little more than 38 million people living in it, which is more population (compared one on one) than more than half of the countries in the world.

Tokyo is the center of Japan in any sense, but only in Japan, it is a city that has enormous regional, and even global influence in every aspect, making it an extremely powerful and influential city. With the projections made about the future populations of the biggest cities, it is expected that Tokyo will be holding the first spot as the most populated city in the world until 2030, and maybe even longer.

Which position in a codon shows the greatest degeneracy? In other words, if a change occurs in this codon position, it is less l
uysha [10]

Answer:

Third position

Explanation:

Degenerate nature of genetic code refers to the fact that one amino acid can be encoded by more than one triplet combinations of nucleotides. However, if an amino acid is encoded by more than one triplets, the multiple triplets for that amino acid differ from each other with respect to the type of nucleotide present at the third position. For example,  isoleucine is encoded by AUU, AUC, and AUA. The third nucleotide is different in these genetic codes.
