What's one way that the shape of the insulin receptor is related to its role in cell communication ?

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.

What is the basis on which the subdivisions in a Geological time scale are made

Andru [333]

The geologic time scale is divided into periods, which are then divided into epochs, which are further divided into ages. For example, the time of the dinosaurs lasted 3 periods (Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous), each period had 3 epochs (late, early, middle), and each age fit into one of those. Many epochs have more than 1 age associated with them.
As for the basis for differentiating the eras, I'm not so sure. The only one I can say for sure is the end of the Cretaceous, which is when the dinosaurs suddenly became extinct due to a meteor impact. I think the divisions are based on significant, global-scale events that changed the world.

Sorry its so long but that the answer i think >:) ur welcome

In pea plants, long stems are dominant to short stems, purple flowers are dominant to white, and round peas are dominant to wrin

meriva

Assuming the genes are not linked nor interacting with each other, the expected number of long stemmed plants with purple flowers, producing wrinkled peas, L-P-rr, is 288.

<h3>Available data</h3>

long stems are dominant to short stems
purple flowers are dominant to white,
round peas are dominant to wrinkled

Each trait is determined by a single, different gene.

A heter0zyg0us plant is self-crossed
F1) 2,048 descendants

Let us name te alleles as follows

L ⇒ Long stem
l ⇒ Short stem
P ⇒ Purple flowers
p ⇒ white flowers
R ⇒ Round peas
r ⇒ wrinkled peas

Cross) heter0zyg0us plant is self-crossed

Parental) LlPpRr

Gametes) LPR, LPr, LpR, Lpr, lPR, lPr, lpR, lpr

Assuming that these genes are not linked nor interacting with each other, to make the calcs easier we will make crosses considering each gene separately.

Stems

Parental) Ll x Ll

F1) 1/4 LL, 2/4 Ll, 1/4 ll

3/4 long stem, 1/4 short stem

Flower color

Parental) Pp x Pp

F1) 1/4 PP, 2/4 Pp, 1/4 pp

3/4 purple flowers, 1/4 white flowers

Peas

Parental) Rr x Rr

F1) 1/4 RR, 2/4 Rr, 1/4 rr

3/4 round peas, 1/4 wrinkled peas

Now, we will get the proportion of individuals with long stems, purple flowers, producing wrinkled peas, L-P-rr

Note: The symbol - is representing either a dominant or a recessive allele.

From the crosses, we know that

3/4 are long stemmed,
3/4 have purple flowers, and
1/4 have wrinkled peas.

To get the proportion of individuals expressing all these traits together, we just need to multiply these values.

3/4 L- x 3/4 P- x 1/4 rr = 9/64 L-P-rr

Knowing that the total number of plants is 2,048 and that there are 64 possible gametes combinations from this cross, we will use the proportion 9/64 to get the number of plants with these traits.

64 ------------- 2,048 plants

9 -------------- X = (9 x 2048) / 64 = 288 plants.

We expect to find 288 long stemmed plants with purple flowers, producing wrinkled peas.

Internal membrane connected to the external membrane where energy production may occur and which may help cell division

Paha777 [63]

Mitochondria are unusual organelles. They act as the power plants of the cell, are surrounded by two membranes, and have their own genome. They also divide independently of the cell in which they reside, meaning mitochondrial replication is not coupled to cell division. Some of these features are holdovers from the ancient ancestors of mitochondria, which were likely free-living prokaryotes.
