When a lineage splits into multiple line of descents, then, it leads to speciation. It is a process by which a single population evolves into different species. The process of speciation leads to the development of two or more species as the lineages are splitted. These two evolved species are genetically independent.
Hence, the blank can be filled with 'speciation'.
Mitosis should only take 2 hours to complete
The digestion of the food in humans begins in the mouth. In the mouth, the salivary amylase enzyme digests and breaks down a small amount of the starch present in the food. The digestion process begins right in the mouth. and continues till the intestine. The carbohydrates (starch) are the ones whose digestion starts in the mouth.
Hence, the blanks can be filled with 'mouth and amylase' respectively.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
b). Activation of an upstream guanine nucleotide exchange factor
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- <em><u>When a ligand activates the G protein-coupled receptor, it induces a conformational change in the receptor that allows the receptor to function as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that exchanges GDP for GTPthus turning the G protein-coupled receptor on.</u></em>
- The activated G-protein then dissociates into an alpha (G-alpha) and a beta-gamma complex.
