Answer: option C - activating second messengers and stimulating glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis.
Explanation:
Glucagon is an hormone, produced by the pancreas, that opposes the action of insulin by stimulating the production of SUGAR.
Glucagon is usually released whenever blood glucose levels is detected to be LOW. it works by activating secondary messengers.
Answer: The charges of the objects are A: Positive and B: Negative.
Explanation-
The electric field lines are pictorial representation of the electric field in terms of imaginary lines.
The direction of electric field is away from the positive charge and is directed towards the negative charge.
In this question, the electric field lines are emerging from A and coming towards B.
Thus, the right answer is A: Positive and B: Negative.
Answer:
1. A mutation that causes changes in the amino acid sequence downstream of the mutation is called FRAME SHIFT MUTATION. The correct option is D. A frame shift mutation is one in which the mutation is caused either by the addition or deletion of base pairs in the DNA of a gene, this results in the translation of the genetic code in the wrong reading frame starting from the position of the mutation to the end of the affected gene. Frame shift mutation result in the production of nucleotide that are not divisible by three. Because the nucleotide codons are usually pair in three, frame shift mutation causes a change in the reading frame and this result in a protein translation that is different from the original.
2. The correct option is D.
If the third base A is deleted from the codon given in the question, it will results in the formation of frame shift mutation and this will change the translation of the protein from leucine to tyrosine. The deletion will not affect the first amino acid in the sequence.
3. Albinism is a type of mutation that can is described as DELETERIOUS. The correct option is D.
Deleterious mutation refers to any type of mutation which reduces the fitness of a living organism. Albinism is a medical condition in which an individual experience a partial or total loss of skin pigmentation. The condition is a genetic disorder that is caused by lack of adequate amount of melanin pigment in the skin. Albinism causes vision loss, extreme sun sensitivity and stigma.
4. The type of mutation that occur is INSERTION. The correct option is B. Insertion is a type of mutation in which one or more nucleotide base pairs are added to a DNA sequence. The inserted base pairs can be small or large. Examples of disease conditions that resulted from insertion mutation are Huntington's disease and fragile X syndrome.
