The correct answer is homeostasis.

Homeostasis refers to a self-regulating procedure by which biological systems seem to sustain stability while amending the conditions, which are optimal for survival.

This dynamic state of equilibrium refers to the situation of optimal working for the species and involves many variables, like fluid balance and temperature of the body, being maintained within some kind of pre-limits.

Which molecule contains the condon that is read during translation.
Mama L [17]

Answer:

The molecule that contains the codon during translation is mRNA or messenger RNA (option C).

Explanation:

The mRNA is the product of the transcription of the information contained in the DNA, originating a nitrogenous base sequence complementary to the sequence present in the originating DNA.

The sequence of nitrogenous bases in the mRNA is translated into <u>fragments of three nitrogenous bases</u>, called triplets or codons, each of which encodes a specific aminoacid, which will be incorporated during protein synthesis, in the order previously determined.

Two protein kinases, K1 and K2, function sequentially in an intracellular signaling pathway. If either kinase contains a mutatio
Korolek [52]

Answer:

The order must be K2→K1, since the permanently active K1 allele (K1a) is able to propagate the signal onward even when its upstream activator K2 is inactive (K2i). The reverse order would have resulted in a failure to signal (K1a→K2i), since the permanently active K1a kinase would be attempting to activate a dead K2i kinase.

Explanation:

  • You characterize a double mutant cell that contains K2 with type I mutation and K1 with type II mutation.
  • You observe that the response is seen even when no extracellular signal is provided.
  • In the normal pathway, i f K1 activat es K2, we expect t his combinat ion of two m utants to show no  response with or without ext racell ular signal. This is because no matt er how active K1 i s, it would be unable to  act ivate a mutant K2 that i s an activit y defi cient. If we reverse the order, K2 activating K1, the above  observati on is valid. Therefore, in the normal signaling pathway, K2 activates K1.
