Ans. (B). Genes.
The chemicals that kill the weeds are known as herbicides. Herbicide-resistance is defined as the inherited ability of weeds to survive an application of herbicide, that can kill a normal weed plant of same species.
The resistance develops due to mutations in genes that were sensitive to those chemicals in wild-type forms. As genes are responsible for transfer of characteristics from one to another generation, the herbicide-resistance is also passed down to generations through genes.
Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
These pockets contain the active site, which is the area of an enzyme where the substrate binds and the chemical reaction takes place. In the active site, amino acids of the enzyme protein will bind to the substrate. ... When binding to a substrate, enzymes may undergo an induced fit.
Answer:
The correct answer is - C. The amount of folic acid is the independent variable, and the DNA synthesized is the dependent variable.
Explanation:
DNA is the genetic material of most of the living organisms. In this question, Joe wants to study to see the effect of folic acid on the synthesis of the DNA. Folic acid ae the essential nutrients or vitamin for the synthesis of nitrogen bases of the DNA that are purines and pyrimidines. A dependent variable and an independent variable are two important part of any experiment.
A dependent variable is a variable being tested and measured. In the experiment Jon is conducting, the amount of DNA becomes a dependent variable that is being tested and measured in the presence of folic acid. And folic acid is the independent variable tested to check the formation of DNA in bacteria.
Thus, the correct answer is - C. The amount of folic acid is the independent variable, and the DNA synthesized is the dependent variable.
Answer:
Insulin is a protein hormone which binds to the membrane receptor where as steroid hormones bind to the intracellular receptors.
Explanation:
Hormones can be divided into two groups based on their binding with receptor. Some hormones are water soluble like protein or peptide hormone (example is insulin) and catecholamines. These water soluble hormones cannot cross the plasma membrane of the target cell and thus bind to the membrane receptor. Binding to the membrane receptor leads to activation of intracellular enzymes which bring the physiological change. Steroid hormones in the other case can cross the plasma membrane and then bind to the intracellular receptors. The hormone receptor complex then either binds or activates specific portion of DNA to bring the physiological change.
Insulin is made by beta cells islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. It controls the levels of glucose. It is a small protein made of two polypeptides, one of 21 amino acids and the other of 30 amino acids. These two are called A chain and B chain and are linked together by disulphide bonds. The pro-hormone contains an extra stretch called C-peptide. During the maturation process the proinsulin looses the c-peptide to become mature insulin protein hormone. An american company called Eli Lilly, for the first time made recombinant human insulin.
The answer is capillaries.
