<h2>Scurvy </h2>
Explanation:
(a) Collagen is the major structural component of cartilage,bones and tendons
- The basic unit of collagen is tropocollagen and each tropocollagen consists of three coiled left handed polypeptide chains called α chains
- Generally each α chain consists of a repeating tripeptide sequence called: G-X-Y
- Here G represents glycine; X represents proline and Y represents hydroxyproline
- Rigidity of collagen molecule is due to presence of proline and hydroxyproline
- Hydroxylation of proline is catalysed by prolyl hydroxylase enzyme which use ascorbate,α ketoglutarate and oxygen
- α ketoglutarate is oxidatively decarboxylated to form carbon dioxide and succinate
- Sequence of events leading from a dietary vitamin C deficiency to symptoms such as bruising and breakdown of supporting tissues includes: tissue levels of ascorbic acid is low; enzyme prolyl hydroxylase is inactive; proline is not hydroxylated; the triple helix is inadequately stabilized; collagen breaks down; defects in tissues that depend on collagen
; tissues that depend on collagen are subject to breakdown and bruising
(b) Sailors are no longer susceptible to scurvy because fresh fruits which are the source of vitamin C source are available now
British sailors called "limeys" to this day,this term reflects the British navy's use of limes

Answer:
The correct answer is option d.
Explanation:
An extinct species of australopithecine, that is, Australopithecus africanus was the first species to be illustrated.

Like modern man, the A. africanus did stood upright and walked upright, and were having free hands to use. However, they were smaller in height and lighter in weight in comparison to modern man.
Answer:
D. automatic processing involves primitive areas of the brain associated with fear
Explanation:
The amygdala in the limbic system represents a region of the brain that has recently received attention as a possible region associated to fear reactions. Moreover, it has been proposed that the amygdala was one of the first limbic regions to develop in course of evolution.
