Answer: Carbohydrates and lipids both contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
atoms, while the proteins contain nitrogen in addition to those three
elements
Explanation:
1. The glutamate causes an influx of ca2+ ions into the nerve cell akin to what occurs during depolarization. However, this occurs excessively without regulation (due to excessive stimulation by the glutamate) that eventually causes nerve injury through cytotoxic edema.
2. When the ca2+ levels are lowered during stroke, then nerve cell injury would be obviated hence enabling the chances of restoration of nerve cell function. This would happen because there would be no excess calcium ions to influx when the NMDA receptors are excessively stimulated by the glutamate molecules.
Answer:
Explanation:
Narrow sense heritability - h2
selection differential - S
Selection differential is calculated from the difference between the population average and the parental population.
Breeder's equation:
Response to selection - R = h2S
Mean milk production of 10% cows for experiment = 8.9L/hr
Mean milk production of parental population = 5.1L/hr
Selection differential S= 8.9 - 5.1 = 3.8 L/hr
Response to selection = 0.587 × 3.8 = 2.23
It would have to be the third answer, "a strong thunderstorm destroys many of the nests of a bird population."
Answer:
Answer is C.
Explanation:
For A and B, a base substitution affects one of the three bases that comprise a codon, the DNA/RNA unit that corresponds to a particular amino acid. If one base is substituted, one codon and therefore one amino acid will be affected. Codons have built-in redundancy, so even by changing one base, the new codon sometimes still corresponds to the same amino acid. Therefore, a base substitution at most affects one amino acid, and sometimes doesn't affect it all.
Frameshift mutations cause a lot more trouble. These occur when you have a deletion or insertion that changes the number of bases in your gene. As a result, the "frame" of the codons changes (everything shifts one way or the other by the number of bases added/removed). This affects EVERY codon downstream of the mutation, so you can imagine that such a mutation would have a bigger effect the closer to the start of the gene it occurs. This is why C is correct.
