Individuals with these mutations typically have familial hypercholesterolemia.
These genes provide information for the formation of the low-density lipoprotein receptor, a receptor that binds to low-density lipoproteins (LDLs). LDLs carry the cholesterol in the blood and regulate the amount of cholesterol in the circulation. Mutations to these genes either reduce the number of receptors or cause several disruptions to their function. This results in high blood cholesterol levels and in a higher risk for heart disease.
Answer: The taproot
Explanation: A deep taproot helps plants use moisture held in deeper soil layers, and they can have great drought resistance compared to fibrous-rooted plants. An example is honey mesquite (Prosopis juliflora), which is known to send its roots down 150 feet to get water.
<h2>Phylum Anthophyta</h2>
Explanation:
Phylum Anthophyta is the phylum of flowering plants.
Bryophytes are group of seedless non-vascular plant.They are called the amphibians of plant kingdom because to complete their life cycle, they need both water and land.
Anthophyta are dominant group than the bryophyta because:
- They have a well developed vascular system.
- They have their seeds enclosed within fruits and protective sed coat that keep them viable for a long time.
Answer:
Testes and ovaries produce two types of hormones:
androgens (male sex hormones)
estrogens (female full hormones)
In each type of gland, both types of hormones are secreted only in different amounts: the ovaries secrete more estrogen than the androgen hormones, and the sperm inversely.
Explanation:
In testicular tissue, Leydig cells produce androgen hormones: androsterone and testosterone. The ovaries produce a group of estrogen hormones and progesterone. These hormones exert their effect at puberty when the glands are activated. At puberty, the pituitary gonadostimulins activate the sex glands, whose activity leads to the development of secondary sex characteristics (the appearance of first menstruation in girls, beards and mustaches in boys, etc.).
