Blood often flows into a capillary bed from
- a. the distributing arteries.
- b. the conducting arteries.
- c. a metarteriole.
- d. a thoroughfare channel.
- e. the venules.

Introduction:
Arteries are blood vessels which bring oxygenated blood from the heart to other parts of the body. They are strong, resilient, and muscular tissues, when compared to veins. They are able to withstand the pressure of blood ejected in them.
Answer to Problem 1TYR
Correct answer:
Capillary beds are structured into web-like networks. These capillary beds are supplied by a metarteriole. Therefore, option c is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Justify reasons for the correct statement:
About 10 to 100 capillaries form a capillary bed; the blood is supplied to these capillaries by metarteriole.
Option (c) is given as, “metarteriole”.
Metarterioles are short blood vessels which link capillaries. These capillaries bypass the blood through venules.
Hence, option (c) is correct.
Justify reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (a) is given as, “the distributing arteries”.
The distributing arteries are capable of distributing blood to specific organs. Hence, it a wrong answer.
Option (b) is given as, “the conducting arteries”.
The conducting arteries are the large arteries, which include the aorta, pulmonary artery, and common iliac arteries. Hence, it a wrong answer
Option (d) is given as, “a thoroughfare channel”.
The distal ends of capillaries are the thoroughfare channels which lead to venules. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (e) is given as, “the venules”.
The venules are the smallest of the veins. They receive blood from the capillaries either directly or by the distal ends of thoroughfare channels. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (a), (b), (d), and (e) are incorrect.
Blood often flows into a capillary bed from a metarteriole.

For a eukaryotic mRNA, the sequences is as follows where AUGrepresents the start codon, the yellow is the Kozak sequence and (XXX) just represents any codonfor an amino acid (no stop codons here). G-cap and polyA tail are not shown A. How long is the peptide produced?B. What is the function (a sentence) of the UAA highlighted in blue?C. If the sequence highlighted in blue were changed from UAA to UAG, how would that affecttranslation? D. (1) The sequence highlighted in yellow above is moved to a new position indicated below. Howwould that affect translation? (2) How long would be the protein produced from this new mRNA?

- Molecular Biology You discover a disease causing mutation (indicated by the arrow) that alters splicing of its mRNA. This mutation (a base substitution in the splicing sequence) eliminates a 3’ splice site resulting in the inclusion of the second intron (I2) in the final mRNA. We are going to pretend that this intron is short having only 15 nucleotides (most introns are much longer so this is just to make things simple) with the following sequence shown below in bold. The ( ) indicate the reading frames in the exons; the included intron 2 sequences are in bold. A. Would you expected this change to be harmful? ExplainB.
