umka2103 [35]
<span>Hemostasis is the process of the body that seals blood vessels that rupture. The process is basically starts with an injury, then vascular spasm, platelet plug formation and then coagulation. 

During blood clot formation, blood is transformed into solid gel at site of damage, where plasma fibrinogen is converted into loose fibrin molecules, which bind together to form mesh. Platelets and blood cells get trapped here by the fibrin strands, which produces a clot. This part of the clot formation is called coagulation.

What property of a virus makes it useful for making transgenic organisms?
morpeh [17]

Viruses reproduce by incorporating their DNA into an organism's genome to tap into the host replication mechanism to reproduce themselves. Viruses, therefore, cannot copy outside their host. This property of viruses makes them suitable for the production of transgenic organisms. This is achieved by replacing the DNA piece that causes virulence in the virus with the desired gene that is to be transduced into the host organisms.

Explain what happens during the three phases of signal transduction.
Morgarella [4.7K]
The three phases of signal transduction is (1) reception, (2) transduction, and (3) response. Reception involves the binding of a ligand, may it be a hormone or a neurotransmitter; to a receptor, may it be a membrane receptor, cytosolic receptor, or a nuclear receptor. After binding of the ligand to the receptor, there will be signal transduction of events that will ultimately form a response. For instance, insulin actin on the insulin receptor will trigger a series of events that will increase the transcription of the gene translating for glucose transporters and ultimately, increase the number of glucose transporters embedded in the cell membrane leading to increased glucose uptake in tissues.
