Answer:
Choice C., High blood glucose levels can result from an overproduction of insulin
Explanation:
Blood sugar levels are regulated by two pancreatic hormones—insulin and glucagon. When blood sugar levels increase, insulin is released (beta cells of the pancreas), it binds to its receptors and consequently increase glucose uptake by cells, which effectively lowers blood glucose levels. On the other hand, when blood sugar levels decrease, glucagon is released (alpha cells of the pancreas), it binds to its cell receptors, and causes glucose to be released into circulation, thereby increasing blood glucose levels.
Answer:
0.50
Explanation:
According to the given information, the frequency of the hornless genotype in the population is = 16% = 0.16. This means that the frequency of the hornless allele in the population is = square root of 0.16 = 0.4.
The gene for the horns in unicorn has three alleles. If the frequency of the allele for twisted horns is represented by "p" and that of the hornless allele is represented as "q", then the frequency of the allele for the longhorn would be (r) = 1- (p+q).
This is due to the fact that the sum total of frequencies of all the possible alleles of a particular gene in a population in the Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium is always 1 (p+q+r =1). Now, putting the values of p and q in the formula to calculate the frequency of allele for the longhorn (r) = 1- (0.1 + 0.4) = 1-0.5 = 0.5
Answer:
Food prevention is to stop or slow down the spoilage of food,
loss of quality and edibility of food for longer time.
METHODS OF FOOD PRESERVATION
- CANNING: this involves cooking the food in special oil or paste and packing it in air tight cans under strict hygiene.
- REFRIGERATION: this involves storing the food at a temperature below 0°c. This renders bacteria and other decay causing agents inactive
