You are studying an individual with very low levels of insulin in her blood. Further analysis indicates that cells of her pancre

as are producing normal levels of this protein, but it is accumulating in the cytoplasm rather than being secreted from the cells. Which hypothesis makes the most sense to explain this observation?

Answer:

a small deletion occurs in the nucleotide sequence at the aminoterminal of the gene in the signal sequence

Explanation:

A  deletion in the sequence of nucleotide that code for the  small signal sequence responsible will affect the release of insulin outside the cells because the signal sequence is responsible for carrying the insulin outside the cells. The cells of pancreas are producing the insulin normally but due to mutation in the signal sequence it can not  release out of the cells and accumulate inside the cells.

What role does evolution play in the emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria?
tiny-mole [99]

<u>1</u><u>.</u><u>Antibiotic resistance is a consequence of evolution via natural selection. The antibiotic action is an environmental pressure; those bacteria which have a mutation allowing them to survive will live on to reproduce. They will then pass this trait to their offspring, which will be a fully resistant generation.</u>

<u>2</u><u>.</u><u> </u><u>Bacteria evolve quickly because they grow fast and can share genes. Helpful mutations spread quickly in bacteria.</u>

<u>3</u><u>.</u><u>Taking antibiotics too often or for the wrong reasons can change bacteria so much that antibiotics don't work against them. This is called bacterial resistance or antibiotic resistance</u>

<u>4</u><u>.</u><u> </u><u>Antibiotic resistance leads to higher medical costs, prolonged hospital stays, and increased mortality. The world urgently needs to change the way it prescribes and uses antibiotics.</u>

Which ecosystem has more biodiversity EXPLAIN!
Gekata [30.6K]
The two richest ecosystems lie in tropical rainforests and coral reefs. On land, tropical rainforests contain many species variation with an abundance of species in bird, mammals, amphibians, and plants. While tropical rainforests occupy only 7 percent of the Earth’s land area, they contain over half of the world’s species. This may be because species richness tends to increase with decreased elevation, increasing solar exposure, and increased precipitation; that is, hot, rainy low-land areas have the most species. In contrast, deserts have low species variation because of low precipitation. On earth, water is majorly important the equation for life. Many of the species are genetically isolated because of habitat size and variation in the build of the land (mountains, equator location, etc) such as seen in the Galapagos islands and the Amazon rainforest, both near and in South America.

Explanation on Mitosis​
Kipish [7]
Mitosis is the division that results in two “daughter” cells. Both of these daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the “parent” cell.
Mitosis consists of 4 phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Prophase: the DNA is copied and the chromosomes pair up
Metaphase: the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
Anaphase: sister chromatids are pulled apart from each other towards opposite sides of the cell
Telophase: the cell begins to pinch in the middle and separates into two identical daughter cells

Which organisms create all usable food energy on Earth
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
The organisms that create all the usable food energy on Earth are called the producers. These organisms are able to produce food through the different resources such as the energy from the Sun, the carbon dioxide, and water and minerals that they absorb from the soil
