The insulin receptors have specific shape that is compatible to the glucose molecules. The glucose molecules bind to these receptors, which tells the pancreas to release insulin in order to lower the blood glucose level. Any kind of change in the shape of these receptors because of mutation will hinder this cell communication and stop the insulin release. This will lead to high levels of blood sugar level.

Answer - In general Insulin receptors help by providing specific shape requirements for the glucose or sugar, so that it can produce insulin and release.

Just like the role in cells communication it gives role and commands to specific order. In this case its like the insulin receptors.

Answer: Literally everywhere. Having an at least basic level of science helps you in day-to-day situations. For example, cooking. Not only is it crucial to understand the chemical and physical processes when cooking, you should also understand the complexity of how these micro and macromolecule exchange processes affect you and your body. Another prime example is your health, or human processes. You might not realize this, but your body is a plethora of complex, interconnected systems and networks that work hard 24/7 to maintain homeostasis (keep you alive). Understanding how our human physiques conduct themselves helps us gain the knowledge to be able to stay alive.

At a particular location in the human genome is the sequence AATGGAGTC on one of the chromosomes. This sequence occurs in about

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

c. AATGGAGTT

d. AATAGAGTC

Explanation:

SNP is a single nucleotide polymorphism. It means that a particular sequence varies among the members of a population with respect to the single nucleotide. The given sequence of the human genome is "AATGGAGTC". The sequence "AATGGAGTT" of option C differs from it with respect to the single nucleotide at the last position (C is replaced with T).

Similarly, the sequence of option D "AATAGAGTC" differs with respect to the nucleotide at position 4 (G in the original sequence is replaced with A). Therefore, these two sequences represent SNP with respect to the given sequence of the human genome.
