Caffeine cause dose dependent prominent increase in force of contraction and period of contraction of muscle

<u>Explanation:</u>

Caffeine is widely used in foods and drinks. Its long time use can effect central nervous system include lethargy memory, sleep disorder and anxiety.

Increase in concentration of calcium ion will result increase number of power stroke and force for contraction.  However latent period and relaxation period are unaffected by caffeine. Increase in concentration of calcium ion will result increase number of power stroke and force for contraction.

Because of calcium ion release in skeletal muscle, caffeine causes peripheral manifestation such as hyper-reflexia, muscle twitching etc.

High amount of caffeine leads to increase in release of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum. It increases tension development in single tetanic contraction and re-initiate maximum tension in fatigue single myofibre by restoring Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum to non-fatigued levels.

Drag the labels to show how the glucose and hormone levels will change in each mouse after they are joined by parabiosis. labels
babunello [35]
<span>Answer: Parabiosis is an effective way to evaluate hormone function because it permits the exchange of only long-lived molecules (such as hormones) between the two joined individuals. Thus, the glucose levels of each mouse will stay the same, but the hormone levels will not. The db mutant's hormone level will decrease, and the wild type's hormone level will increase. Coleman's goal was to determine if the ob and db genes function in the hormonal regulation of appetite and body fat. In this experiment, if both appetite-suppressing hormone and glucose were exchanged, it would be impossible to determine whether any weight changes in the mice were caused by the transfer of hormone or the transfer of glucose from one mouse to the other. For example, an increase in hormone level (and thus greater appetite suppression) could lead to weight loss, as could a decrease in glucose level. On the other hand, a decrease in hormone level or an increase in glucose level could lead to weight gain.</span>

Leto [7]
<h2>A) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

  • RNA is a linear polymer of ribonucleotides
  • Sugar in RNA is ribose instead of deoxyribose which is present in DNA
  • The four nitrogenous bases present in RNA are adenine, cytosine, guanine and uracil whereas that in DNA are adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine
  • RNA molecules carry genetic information from DNA to proteins, cannot transmit from one generation to next generation as a genetic material
  • Due to steric hindrance by the 2'-OH group of ribose sugar, RNA unable to form double helix

Let’s suppose a sheep that provided the oocyte for reproductive cloning was homozygous for a gene that causes a small head. This
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

Small head

Explanation:

Since the genes are located in the nucleus of a cell which has being removed (but some genes are still located in the mitochondria of the ocyte) from its ocyte to fuse it with with another nucleus. Since the cell follows a maternal inheritance of gene, it would have a small head because of the presence genes in the mitochondria.
