A Kingdom. There's an animal and a plant Kingdom.
<h2>Scurvy </h2>
Explanation:
(a) Collagen is the major structural component of cartilage,bones and tendons
- The basic unit of collagen is tropocollagen and each tropocollagen consists of three coiled left handed polypeptide chains called α chains
- Generally each α chain consists of a repeating tripeptide sequence called: G-X-Y
- Here G represents glycine; X represents proline and Y represents hydroxyproline
- Rigidity of collagen molecule is due to presence of proline and hydroxyproline
- Hydroxylation of proline is catalysed by prolyl hydroxylase enzyme which use ascorbate,α ketoglutarate and oxygen
- α ketoglutarate is oxidatively decarboxylated to form carbon dioxide and succinate
- Sequence of events leading from a dietary vitamin C deficiency to symptoms such as bruising and breakdown of supporting tissues includes: tissue levels of ascorbic acid is low; enzyme prolyl hydroxylase is inactive; proline is not hydroxylated; the triple helix is inadequately stabilized; collagen breaks down; defects in tissues that depend on collagen
; tissues that depend on collagen are subject to breakdown and bruising
(b) Sailors are no longer susceptible to scurvy because fresh fruits which are the source of vitamin C source are available now
British sailors called "limeys" to this day,this term reflects the British navy's use of limes
The sisters are different heights because one or both of the parents has a short allele that wasnt dominated by the tall allele, or vice-versa.
Answer:
Framshift mutation
Explanation:
The frame shift mutation is also known as reading frame shift or framing error mutation, during which an insertion or deletion occurs at a single position but it effects the sequence of whole gene in such a way that complete sequence is disturbed.
If we look at the sequence given in example:
Wild sequence: the big red fly had one eye
Mutant: the fbi gre dfl yha don eey
An insertion mutation occured at the start of sequence big, where f got inserted. We know that a 3 set of nucleotides called codon is transcribed and translated into single amino acid of protein. So when f got added it disturbed the frame and all the sequences of next codons got altered.
- big changed to fbi
- red changed to gre
- fly changed to dfl
- had changed to yha
In short the ehole protein will have wrong sequence of amino acid and it is worst type of mutation that badly effects an organism.
Hope it help!
Answer - D. Brain and Spinal Cord
Reasoning - With the connection between body to the peripheral nervous system and Central Nervous System or Brain and Spinal Cord it has to go through these in order to have control and complex circuit of chemical signals to be Sent/Returned.
