Glucose is virtually the sole fuel for the human brain, except during prolonged starvation. The brain lacks fuel stores, thus requires a continuous supply of glucose. It consumes about 120 g daily which corresponds to an energy input of 420 kcal (1760 KJ), accounting for some 60% of the utilization of glucose by the whole body in the resting state.
Answer:
the humus contains the minerals necessary for chlorophyll synthesis
Explanation:
<em>The yellowness of leaves in plants can be attributed to inadequate chlorophyll in the plant</em>. The chlorophyll is responsible for the greenness appearance of the leaves of plants and when it is present in inadequate quantity, the leaves appear yellowish in color.
<u>Some of the minerals necessary for the formation of chlorophyll include magnesium, nitrogen, and iron</u>. It thus means that the humus supplied to the soil of group 1 plant has the necessary minerals to synthesize chlorophyll while the soil of group 2 plants is deficient in some or all the minerals required for chlorophyll synthesis.
Answer:
B. The father did not contribute a sex chromosome to his daughter due to nondisjunction of the sex chromosomes. The daughter is XO and her only X chromosome came from her mother, who was a carrier.
A.The mother's X chromosomes failed to separate during meiosis, and the daughter inherited two X chromosomes with the Lesch-Nyhan mutation. The father contributed no sex chromosomes.
Explanation:
As seen in the question above, a little girl was diagnosed with Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, which is an X-linked recessive condition caused by a mutation in the HPRT1 gene responsible for purine metabolism.
The little girl's parents do not have the syndrome, and no one in the little girl's paternal family presented this syndrome, however, we know that the maternal grandfather of the little girl's mother had the syndrome, which means that it was the mother's genetic material that contributed to the development of the syndrome in the little girl. This was because the little girl did not receive any X chromosomes from her father, but she inherited the two X chromosomes from her mother that coded for the Lesch-Nyhan mutation. This happened because the mother's X chromosome disjuction did not occur during meiosis I.
As shown above, the father did not contribute any sex chromosomes to his daughter, which means that the daughter is XO and her only X chromosome came from her mother, who was a carrier.
Answer:
A planet's atmospheric conditions influence its ability to retain heat, so that the location of the habitable zone is also specific to each type of planet.
