Describe the passage of a meal containing bread through your digestive system

Biology

Alex777 [14]3 years ago
7 0

Before your food passes from the mouth and down your esophagus, salivary amylase, an enzyme in saliva, begins to digest the starch in your bread. That is the start of chemical digestion. ... The passage of the bolus through the esophagus to the stomach occurs by peristalsis, a series of wave-like muscle contractions.

If George is startled by a loud noise immediately after his baby sister cries, he is likely to become fearful every time she cri
Alenkasestr [34]

This is associative learning.

The reactions of George and Ken are based on when they are startled. George will learn to associate his sister's crying with him being startled because it happens every time his sister cries.

Whereas Ken will not know when his sister will cry or when he will be startled by the crying so this has no affect on Ken.

Hence, crying will affect George but not Ken.

The wild-type form of a gene encodes a protein of length 100 amino acids. A mutant allele has a UAA (instead of the wild-type, C
Orlov [11]

Answer:

48 amino acids

Explanation:

The wild type gene codes for a protein with 100 amino acids. One amino acid is encoded by one triplet code of the gene. This means that the wild type gene has a total 100 triplets or 300 nucleotides to code for a protein of 100 amino acid. Mutation in this protein has introduced the code "UAA" at the 49th codon. The code "UAA" is a stop codon. Therefore, the mRNA transcribed from the mutant allele would code for a protein having 48 amino acids as the protein synthesis will be stopped once the stop codon at the 49th position is read.
