Answer:

The gene is called: HERC2.

Explanation:

"Scientists studying the genetics of eye color have identified that a mutation to a separate, nearby gene called HERC2 is the cause of blue eyes. This alteration switches off OCA2, the gene that determines the amount of the brown pigment melanin that we make. Today, around 20-40% of European people have blue eyes."

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation

If insulin cannot bind to the insulin receptor, then GSK3 will not be inhibited, nor will it be able to inhibit glycogen synthase as the activity of kinases such as PKB and GSK3 are dependent on the signal sent out as the response of binding insulin to the receptor. No binding leads to no signal which leads to no activity.

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

C. Oxygen supply

Explanation:

Autotrophs make their own food with carbon dioxide and create oxygen as a byproduct. Heterotrophs need oxygen to create energy and create carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Therefore, if there are no autotrophs, the carbon dioxide in the air won’t be able to be used to turn to oxygen, which heterotrophs need. The heterotrophs will use up all of the oxygen in the air, leaving lots of carbon dioxide behind. This is why we need plants and trees! Thus, the answer is C.
