The best way for adolescent to build and protect his or her bones is to ingest food products that are rich in calcium for it is known to make bones stronger. Another way is to be able to do exercise as a daily routine so that the bones are exercised every day to prevent bone disease, this will stenghten the bones and make them more stronger.
<span>The "stress hormones" that were released by Benita's adrenal glands would likely be epinephrine and norepinephrine. Some studies have shown that something as simple as laughter can lower the level of stress hormones in most people. Since severe stress can lead to other health problems, it is important to get help from a medical professional to bring your stress level under control.</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is: C. third nucleotide position.
Explanation:
- Genes located on the chromosomes encodes for proteins.
- A Gene is made up of a Deoxyribonucleotide (DNA) sequence which is transcribed into the messenger Ribonucleotide (mRNA) sequence by the help of RNA polymerase.
- This mRNA sequence is further translated into the amino acid sequence, that folds to form the functional protein, by the help of the Ribosome.
- The Ribosome reads the mRNA sequence in the form of triplets (three nucleotide together) and each such triplet nucleotide codes for an amino acid.
- Each such triplet nucleotide is known as a Codon.
- The Genetic Code is a table which represents the amino acid encoded by each codon.
- However, the Genetic Code is degenerate in nature. This means that one amino acid can be coded by more than one codon.
- This is because, among the the three nucleotide positions in a codon only the first two determine the specificity of the amino acid while the third nucleotide, also called the wobble nucleotide, is not specific. Presence of any nucleotide in the third position of the codon will not alter the amino acid encoded by the codon.
- In the given question, organisms producing homologous protein have similar amino acid sequence but they vary in the corresponding nucleotide sequence of the gene which codes for the homologous protein.
- This is because at the nucleotide level the variation lies in the wobble nucleotide position that occupies the third position in the codon.
Answer:
The possible blood types of their children are: type AB (iAiB), type A (iAi), type B (iBi), type O (ii)
Explanation:
Blood type in humans is controlled by a gene with multiple alleles. Alleles iA and iB are dominant over allele i but co-dominant. The following blood types are encoded by the following alleles:
Blood type AB - iAiB
Blood type A - iAiA or iAi
Blood type B - iBiB or iBi
Blood type O - ii
According to this question, a man who has type B blood has children with a woman who has type A blood. They are both heterozygous, meaning that the man's genotype is "iBi" while the woman's genotype is "iAi". Both parents will produce gametes as follows:
iBi = iB and i
iAi = iA and I
Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), the following possible blood types are produced in the offsprings:
- type AB (iAiB)
- type A (iAi)
- type B (iBi)
- type O (ii)
