<span>ASEAN is an Association of Southeast Asian Nations - a multination association that has as its aim an economic cooperation between Southeast Asian countries (such as Thailand). This association did not arise as a response to external factors, so any reason connected to externam factors would not apply - such as the reliance on some external powers (such as the US). It is focused on the cooperation between the members only - not an external association.</span>
Lactase refers to an enzyme that can dissociate lactose sugar into glucose and galactose. This enzyme plays an important role in the digestion of milk that comprises high lactose sugar. In case, if a mutation occurs in the gene codon of lactase, then two possibilities can take place. These are as follows:
1. Loss of mutation: In this case, the person becomes lactose intolerant because of mutation in lactase gene codon. Due to this, there is low mRNA expression and thus low production of the enzyme lactase. This is also known as lactase non-persistent phenotype.
2. Gain in mutation: In this case, the person gain an increase in mRNA expression of the lactase gene, thus more production of lactase takes place than usual. This kind of individual exhibits lactase persistent phenotype.
The main difference between the organisms are the uses of the appendage and the size and number of certain bones. The human arm is used for a variety of functions while the lizard's and the cat's are used for walking an climbing, the whale's for swimming, the frog's for support and the bird's and the bat's for flying.
Earth's surface wind generally blow from regions of higher AIR PRESSURE TOWARDS REGION OF LOWER AIR PRESSURE.
The direction in which the wind blow on the earth surface is a product of many factors, the most important of these factors are: pressure, friction and Coriolis effects. On the earth surface, the wind normally blow from high to low pressure. A high pressure system followed by a low pressure system allows the wind to flow in clockwise direction outward toward a low pressure system. This ensures the continuous flow of the wind.
