Answer:
(B) calmodulin
Explanation:
Calcium in cells acts as second messenger molecule which regulates the very important physiological and cellular process of cell-like neurotransmission, cell migration, secretion, fertilization and many others.
Calcium acts as a messenger by binding to a calcium-binding protein called calmodulin. Calmodulin forms complex with 4 calcium ions through the side amino acids present in the structure of calmodulin.
Thus, calmodulin is the correct answer.
Answer: Polygenic inheritance
Explanation:
Polygenic inheritance is a phenomenon shown by a trait that is controlled by many genes residing at different loci.
Thus, the expression of the trait is the total effect of all the genes controlling it. Skin colour and height in humans are examples of such traits.
Answer:
false
Explanation:
These different faces are called phases and they are the result of the way the Sun lights the Moon's surface as the Moon orbits Earth. The Moon can only be seen as a result of the Sun's light reflecting off it. It does not produce any light of its own.
Answer: Mitosis
Explanation:
Since meiosis helps only in the production of gametes, mitosis helps the somatic cells in the already fertilized egg (zygote) to do the following:
- multiply their number, thus aiding growth
- form new cells like red blood cells to transport oxygen, white blood cells to fight infection, liver cells etc
Thus, for growth mitosis is the mechanism used to generate more cells
