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.

How does wet and dry barometer work?? Thnx

tatiyna

Wet barometer - The tool works by measuring atmospheric pressure to predict incoming weather. Since the glass is only filled halfway with water, the other half is exposed to the atmosphere. When the outdoor atmospheric pressure rises, the pressure in the glass decreases, and causes the water to move down the spout.

Dry barometer - A Torricellian barometer (sometimes called a mercury barometer) is an inverted (upside-down) glass tube standing in a bath of mercury. Air pressure pushes down on the surface of the mercury, making some rise up the tube. The greater the air pressure, the higher the mercury rises.

I hope this helps!

Round seeds and yellow seed color are dominant to wrinkled seeds and green seed color. What is the probability of having offspri

adoni [48]

Answer:

<h2>The probability of a cross between RRYY x RrYy to generate a yellow and wrinkled seed offspring is 0%.</h2>

Explanation:

Circular and yellow seeds are overwhelming and wrinkled and green seeds are passive. It is vital to keep in mind that resective characteristics are as it were displayed when the sibling has two passive alleles for those characteristic, in the event that the descendant includes a latent allele and a overwhelming allele, the characteristic that will be presented is the overwhelming one. For this reason, able to say that a cross between RRYY x RrYy plants, would not create any descendant with wrinkled and yellow seeds. Typically since, the descendant of a crossing, must show an allele of each parent. One parent as it were has overwhelming alleles (RRYY), so able to say that all descendant will get 1 overwhelming allele for color and a overwhelming allele for seed surface, anticipating the sibling from communicating latent characteristics.

The answer would be synaptic pruning.

The brain in children will have a much more synaptic connection than adults. This connection is important for learning process in the early stage of life. More synaptic connections allow multiple parts the brain areas to be connected even if there is a damage in one area.
The synapse will be cut down later in a process called synaptic pruning. Only the area that frequently used will be preserved.
