Which steroid hormone(s) would not be produced if you blocked the activity of p450scc?

Biology

natka813 [3]3 years ago
3 0
P450scc or cholesterol side chain cleavage enzyme is an enzyme that converts cholesterol into pregnenolone (the precursor for steroids). The kinds of steroid hormones are mineralocorticoids (i.e. aldosterone) glucocorticoids (i.e. cortisol), and sex steroids (i.e. testosterone, estrogen). In the event where P450scc is blocked, then there will be no production of mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and sex steroids. There will be no production of aldosterone, cortisol, estradiol, testosterone, and progesterone. This disease is called Lipoid Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.

The mechanism that breaks the linkage between linked genes is
gregori [183]

Answer:

Crossing over

Explanation:

Crossing over is the process during which two chromatids of two homologous chromosomes exchange part of their genetic segments. It occurs during the pachytene stage of prophase I of meiosis I.

Linked genes are mostly inherited together and do not exhibit independent assortment. However, when linked genes are present far apart from each other on the same chromosome, crossing over can occur between them to produce recombinant chromatids. Therefore, crossing over can break the linkage and produce recombinant progeny as it occurs during the independent assortment of unlinked genes.

Before returning to the heart, blood from the digestive tract first passes through the..
loris [4]

Answer: Liver

Explanation:

The hepatic portal system of liver connects the capillaries of the gastrointestinal tract to the liver. The nutrient rich blood from the gastrointestinal tract reaches the liver.

The blood that is returned back to the heart is first bought to liver and then it is returned back to the heart.

From the liver after processing the blood goes into heart for further processing.

Hence, the correct answer is option d

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Regulatory gene

Explanation:

Transcription is one of the major processes that occurs during gene expression. It is the transfer of the genetic instructions in DNA to mRNA. A strand of mRNA is made using complementary base pairs.

However, there is need for gene expression to be regulated.

Gene regulation refers to the mechanism that acts to induce or repress the expression of a gene. These include structural & chemical changes to the genetic material, binding of proteins to specific DNA elements to regulate transcription. These proteins that influences transcription by binding to specific nucleotide sequences (DNA segments/gene) are referred to as REGULATORY PROTEINS and those involved in regulating transcription of genes are called TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS.

Regulatory proteins controls the rate and manner of gene expression by binding to specific genes, thus, making it easy or hard for RNA polymerase (enzyme that attaches to DNA to synthesize mRNA molecule) to bind to the promoter of that gene.

Transcription factors (regulatory proteins) that promote gene transcription are called ACTIVATORS while those that decrease are called REPRESSORS.

1. Psychologists have used four perspectives in their efforts to explain motivation. These include an emphasis on instincts, opt
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

A) drive reduction

Explanation:

Motivation is the urge that fuels and directs human with the energy to accomplish a given task. Motivational theory is accustomed  with the role of  searching for what drives individuals to work towards a goal or a task.

The drive reduction theory explains  physiological ideology  required bring out  an aroused tension state that motivates an organism to satisfy the need.

Instincts Theory reflects innate and  fixed pattern of complex behavior in animals. For example, making holes of crabs for safety.  

Optimum Arousal Theory drive people to engage in certain activities in the quest to keep up with an optimum level of physiological arousal.

Hierarchy of motives: According to Maslow's pyramid, hierarchy of motives is explained based on need to satiate or quench the least physiological needs in order to be active before subsequent level needs.
