A (n) <u>homeotic</u> gene is a type of gene that regulates development and that, when mutated, leads to organisms with structures in abnormal or unusual locations on their body.

A homeotic gene is a gene that intervenes in the developmental program that determines the location of structures along the anteroposterior axis.

  • The determination of the anteroposterior axis is one of the earliest events in development, and it guides the remaining processes of organogenesis.

  • Once homeotic genes define the identity of the body segments, they code for proteins (homeodomain) that are responsible for activating other genes.

  • These genes ultimately trigger the formation of the organs or limbs of this segment.

  • Genes that control the position of organs have been called homeotic genes, while mutations that affect these genes are known as homeotic mutations.

Therefore, we can conclude that homeotic genes are expressed in the body regions that will house the growing structures.

If one sample food contains 200 cal in another contains 300 cal, which statement applies?
Advocard [28]

<u>Answer</u>:

The food containing 200 calorie have less potential energy than the food containing 300 calorie

<u>Explanation</u>:

The potential energy content of a food material is its stored energy content which is in the form of chemical bonds. This energy can be measured through the combustion of food material inside a calorimeter. A calorimeter is an instrument which is used to measure the total calorie content of the food or other biological samples by measuring its heat content. A Calorie is unit of energy which is in form of heat.

The food material containing carbohydrates proteins and fats have energy in form of chemical bonds.  On the breaking of bond inside the body, energy is released as in the case of glucose breakdown also known as glycolysis.  

The energy released from glycolysis is used to synthesize high energy containing phosphoanhydride bonds. These ATP molecules are a further breakdown in the system to provide energy to the cell to perform various activities.

Reactant product
gogolik [260]

Answer:

4 grams

Explanation:

If in an experiment, we have 4g of reactants, the mass of the products will also be 4g.

This is in compliance with the law of conservation of mass in a chemical reaction.

According to this law,

  "in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed but changed from one form to another".

If:

      A + B →  C

         4g        4g

mass of A and B must be equal to the mass of the product according to the law of conservation of mass.
