How is the degree of oxygenation of the blood related to skin color?

8 0

One of the contributing factor to skin color is blood. Blood is responsible for the rosy color of skin. It is influenced by how much blood flows in the capillaries, how much hemoglobin there is in the blood and the degree of oxygenation of arterial blood.

When blood is well-oxygenated the skin gives off a more reddish color or rosy color. When oxygenation is poor the skin becomes bluish, which is cyanosis.

Explanation:

Bicoid gene is the maternal effect gene whose protein concentration gradient patters the anterior-posterior axis in Drosophila embryogenesis. It was the primary protein that is demonstrated to act as a morphogen. Morphogens are proteins whose concentration gradient will affect the developmental fate of the surrounding region.

The specified bicoid gene is the one which codes for bicoid protein. This protein is being existing in a gradient manner in the egg and thus its concentration is higher at the anterior end and lower in posterior end.

This bicoid protein is responsible for the stimulation of the development of the anterior end.

The posterior region (including the hindgut) expands and extends towards the anterior pole along the dorsal side of the embryo. At this time, segments of the embryo become visible, creating a striped arrangement along the anterior-posterior axis.

Answer:

Ion i think

Explanation:

I think ion's contain more negative energy from electrons and since it's -18 and 9+ it would be -9 if u add them up

Answer:

The correct option is a) "decrease the amount of GTP to inhibit microtubule elongation and block secretion"

Explanation:

Since microtubules play a critical role in transporting secretory vesicles, preventing it from elongating will keep it from performing this function. Completely eliminating the microtubules from the cell as suggested in option d will harm the cells and other processes in it because the microtubules also have an integral part to play in maintaining cell shape & structure.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!
