Answer: The correct answer is- Converts solar energy to chemical energy.
Photosynthesis is a process of formation of food by green plants and algae using CO₂ and H₂O in the presence of sunlight. In this process, energy from sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll ( green pigment present in the chloroplast) and it is converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and NADPH. This is further utilized in the formation of food that is a carboydrate ( glucose).
Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
Miller and Urey performed an experiment, using some inorganic molecules such as water, methane, carbon dioxide and hydrogen in laboratories conditions similar to early earth conditions .
Amino acids molecules formed as the result of this experiment, this proved that small organic molecules such as amino acids are formed from inorganic molecules.
Hence, the correct answer is option C
Answer:
A mutation in Ras protein which will cause hyperactivity will eventually lead to cancer.
Explanation:
Ras protein was first discovered in Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) and it is a proto-oncogene product. In normal conditions, it plays an important role in cellular signalling but in case of gain of function/hyperactivity it gets converted into cellular oncogene. In several types of cancers a point mutation has been reported in Ras protein.
Just like G protein, it is also a GTPase switch protein but unlike G protein which is trimeric, it is monomeric. In the plasma membrane, it is attached with the help of lipids like prenyl or palmitoyl groups. During signal transduction pathway when it gets activated, it downstream activates MAPK pathway and causes gene expression but when it gets hyperactivated it causes over expression of genes leading to cancer.
Answer:
They act to regulate the expression of specific genes (androgen-responsive)
Explanation:
Testosterone is a reproductive hormone in male humans. Testosterone as well as its closely related hormones e.g dihydrotestosterone, all belong to a class of hormones called "Androgens".
Androgens operate by entering into a cell and binds with specific androgen-receptor proteins (AR proteins). This contact activates the AR proteins, forming an androgen-receptor complex.
This complex then translocates into the nucleus of specific cells to bind to the DNA. Once it binds, it either inhibits or promotes the expression of specific genes (androgen-responsive). Hence, AR proteins are transcription factors because they play a significant role in regulating transcription of specific genes i.e. turning 'on' or 'off' of specific genes.
This process helps to direct the development of male sexual characteristics.
Answer: DD and Dd
Why? Dimples are dominant meaning that if one dimple trait is in allele it will be shown even if there is a recessive trait. So DD and Dd are the answers
