36. which hormone is largely responsible women having wider hips than me?
A. testosterone
B. estrogen
C. progesterone
D. FSH

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

If the epiglottis fails to close correctly, a person may choke. The epiglottis is a leaf-shaped flap made of elastic cartilage that covers the opening of the larynx and prevents food or liquids from entering it.

 Chocking may occur if the epiglottis fails to close, allowing food or liquids to enter the airway.

Estrogen is the hormone that is responsible for wider hips and other sexual characteristics.  Although men also have some estrogen, this hormone is much higher in women .

The food web above represents feeding relationships in a biological community near a deep-sea hydrothermal vent. Hydrothermal vents are geysers on the seafloor that gush super-heated, mineral-rich water. The seawater surrounding hydrothermal vents typically contains carbon dioxide (CO2), molecular hydrogen (H2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and methane (CH4). Sunlight, however, fails to reach the seafloor where deep-sea hydrothermal vents are located.As part of an investigation, researchers collected living specimens from an area near a deep-sea hydrothermal vent. Mussels in the collection were found to be dependent on molecular hydrogen in seawater. Also, the researchers discovered multiple species of bacteria living in the gills of the mussels. Mussels use gills for filter-feeding and gas exchange with the surrounding seawater. On the basis of their experimental results, the researchers hypothesized that some bacteria living in the gills of the mussels are capable of chemosynthesis. Based on an analysis of the food web, an observation that deep-sea bacteria consume molecular hydrogen (H2) is most relevant to resolving which of the following apparent contradictions?Some organisms rely on energy captured from inorganic compounds to drive basic biological processes.Some deep-sea organisms appear to be primary consumers, but no plants live near the hydrothermal vents.

The triplet code can produce 64 possible codon combinations. What is an advantage of this? A. Every single codon specifies more than one amino acid. / B. Every single amino acid has more than one codon. / C. The first two bases of the codon specify the amino acid.

Answers

The answer is B. Every single amino acid has more than one codon.


There are 20 different amino acids, but there are more than 20 combinations of three nucleotide bases on DNA. There are 64 different combinations of three nucleotide bases on DNA, which is about 3 times more than the number of amino acids. Therefore, every single amino acid has more than one codon is the right answer. But, it should be taken into consideration, that 2 out of 20 different amino acids have only one codon - methionine and tryptophan.
