Answer;

-Birth defects

Explanation;

In animals, long-term exposure to DDT can cause death or severe birth defects.

-DDT stands for dichloro-diphenyl-trichloro-ethane. It is an insecticide/pesticide previously used on crops. DDT has an adverse impact on many organisms such as crayfish, fish, shrimp,  and other animals such as mammals.

DDT is slightly to moderately acutely toxic to mammals, including people, if eaten.Animals given potentially fatal doses of DDT develop liver lesions and those given DDT over a long period of time develop liver changes. In these animal populations DDT may cause birth and reproductive defects.

Answer:

The answer is spongy mesophyll.

Explanation:

Between the upper and lower epidermis of a leave, you can find the so called mesophyll tissue which is rich in chloroplasts. There are two types of mesophyll tissue: the palisade and the spongy mesophyll. Whereas the cells of the palisade mesophyll are tightly packed, the cells of the spongy mesophyll are loosely packed.

Which of the following claims about the TYR, TRP2, and TRP1 mammalian genes is most likely to be accurate?
Illusion [34]

The TYR, TRP2, and TRP1 genes are located next to each other on a single chromosome and are organized into an operon is most likely to be accurate.

The option a is correct.

Explanation:

The genes for the Tyrosinase, TRP2 and TRP1 are located on the same chromosome and are operons. These are operons because they are controlled by same transcription factors on mRNA.

Tyrosinase enzyme is important for the synthesis of melanin, eye pigments and hair colour. The synthesis of all these is completed in three distinct reactions  catalysed by TRP1, TRP2 and Tyr genes. These work as operon and the protein product is almost 40% similar of the three genes.

The amount of melanin production depends on tyrosinase enzyme activity of all the three genes.

The genetic regulation is done by operons.

The rate of a typical enzymatic reaction is increased by which of the following changes?A. Decrease substrate concentrationB. In
galben [10]

Answer:

D. Increase in temperature from 20 degrees C to 37 degree C

Explanation:

A decrease in substrate concentration might not necessarily lead to an increase in enzymatic activities.

Enzymes are pH specific. Thus increasing the pH of operation from 6.8 to 7.4 might destroy the enzyme.

Reactants need to overcome a minimum energy (activation energy) before they can be converted to products. The higher this energy, the lower the rate of reaction. Hence, increasing in activation energy will lead to a lower rate of enzymatic reaction.

<em>Enzymes work optimally at a temperature that is close to the human's body temperature which is 37.5 degrees. Hence, increasing temperature from 20 degrees to 37 degrees will result in an increased enzymatic activities.</em>

The correct option is D.

When the _______5___ reaches the end of an axon, the neurotransmitter is released, and it diffuses to the muscle cell membrane t
postnew [5]

Answer:

5- action potential 6- receptors 7- calcium ions 8- sarcolemma

Explanation:

This description illustrates the pathway of a action potential traveling along a neuro-muscular junction. this functions as a chemical synapse between a motor neuron and a muscle fibre. It allow the motor neuron to transmit a signal/action potential to the muscle fiber, causing muscle contraction.
