Answer:
B. Griffith used heat to kill pneumonia-causing. :)
Explanation:
Worldwide, there are 107 boy babies born for every 100 girl babies. This skewed ratio is partly due to sex-selective abortion and "gendercide," the killing of female infants, in countries such as China and India where males are more desired. But even discounting those factors, the completely natural male-to-female sex ratio still hovers around 105:100, meaning that women are inherently more likely to give birth to boys. Why?
Several factors influence whether a sperm containing a Y sex chromosome or one containing an X chromosome will be first to fertilize an egg, including parental ages, their environmental exposure, stress, the stage in the mother's ovulation cycle and even whether she has had children previously; all these forces combine to set the average sex ratio at fertilization at 105:100.
Answer:
1) B) insulin
2) A) glucagon
3) C) epinephrine
4) B) insulin
5) A) glucagon
6) A) glucagon
Explanation:
High levels of glucose in the blood promote the release of insulin hormone which functions to stimulate uptake and utilization of glucose by cells. Insulin may also act to inhibit lipolysis in adipocytes and stimulates triglyceride storage. Glucagon hormone controls blood sugar (glucose) by stimulating glycogenolysis (conversion of glycogen to glucose), promoting gluconeogenesis (glucose synthesis), and inhibiting glycolysis (glucose breakdown). Moreover, glucagon also can increase ketogenesis (i.e., the production of ketone bodies by breakdown of fatty acids and ketogenic amino acids) when insulin is inhibited. Finally, epinephrine hormone binds to receptors localized on the surface of muscle cells, which stimulate the production of cyclic-AMP (cAMP), a second messenger (i.e., a signaling molecule).
The question is incomplete as it does not have the option which are:
A) There are 20,000 genes.
B) Each gene codes for one protein.
C) Any other regions are "junk" DNA.
D) There are also genes for RNAs other than mRNA.
E) The species is highly evolved.
Answer:
D) There are also genes for RNAs other than mRNA.
Explanation:
The protein-coding sequence refers to the sequence which can code for a protein and is therefore also known as the coding sequence.
The coding sequence codes for the protein by producing a messenger molecule which caries the message or codes for the protein called mRNA.
But the cell also requires other types of RNA like tRNA or rRNA which are sloe encoded on the genetic material.
In the given question, since the genome contains the 20,000 protein-coding region which codes for protein shows that it also contain the coded information not for only proteins but for molecules other than protein like RNAs.
Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.
