This relates to Evolution
Answer:
Prediction is correct.
Explanation:
In the body, transportation of molecules can occur in different ways or mechanism.
An example is by facilitated diffusion.
It is a passive form of transport where carrier proteins shuttle the molecule such as glucose into the cell without using energy.
Glucose being a large molecule is shuttled by glucose carriers across the cell membrane into the cell by facilitated diffusion.
Therefore an increase in the number of glucose carrier means an increase in the rate of glucose transport.
The results will show our prediction was correct.
Answer:
Pleiotropy
Explanation:
Pleiotropy is a genetic condition in which a single gene conditions the expression of multiple phenotype. There are different types of pleiotropy depending on the underlining mechanism
- <em>gene pleiotropy</em>
- <em>developmental pleiotropy</em>
- <em>selectional pleiotropy</em>
- <em>antagonistic pleiotropy </em>
<em>Phenylketonuria is a disease characterized by increased level of amino acid phenylalanine in the blood. It caused by mutation to the gene responsible for breaking down phenylalanine in the blood. Elevated level of phenylalanine causes other issues such as mental problems, urine coloration and reduction in skin pigmentation. This is a clear case of pleiotropy.</em>
