After a period of prolonged fasting (starving), the brain changes its fuel requirements so that more Ketone bodies and less glucose are used for fuel.
The Ketone bodies are products of incomplete oxidation of fatty acids produced during periods of low food intake (fasting) and carbohydrate restrictive diets. Ketone production is the body's<span> normal adaptation to starvation</span>

Answer:

The correct answer is- founder effect  

Explanation:

Founder effect occurs when a small number of individual isolates from the majority of the population by natural calamity or any other region. These isolated individuals show less genetic diversity than the larger population because they are less in numbers.  

Therefore founder effect makes a small group of individuals isolate from a bigger population and make them occupy a different habitat. So a founder population can go on a newly developed island and start reproducing there.

A founder population over time converts into a new species because of reproductive isolation from the main population.  So the evolution of life on the island of Hawaii should have been most strongly influenced by founder effect.

Which statements describe proteins? Select three options.
andre [41]

<u>Complete Question:</u>

Which statements describe proteins? Check all that apply.

A.) Proteins are created from the code in DNA.

B.) Proteins are synthesized in the nucleus of a cell.

C.) DNA and RNA are proteins.

D.) Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

E.) Proteins affect the structures and functions of living things.

F.) The shape and the function of a protein are not related.

<u>Correct Option:</u>

The statements which describe proteins are as follows:

A.) Proteins are created from the code in DNA.

D.) Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

E.) Proteins affect the structures and functions of living things.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Transcription is the method of RNA molecule creation from DNA. The translation is the mechanism by which the protein material is produced from the RNA molecule. Originally, protein forming data is contained in the DNA in the context of nucleotide code. The mechanism of translation happens in the cytoplasm and not at the nucleus.

DNA and RNA contain nucleotides and not proteins. Proteins are the alpha amino acid polymers, which serve as the building block of the protein. An individual's phenotype relies on the composition of the protein, and protein determines the composition and phenotypic expression in living organisms. 3D structure of proteins and their work are realized with one another.
