Because they create multiple alleles, mutations can cause D. variations in traits.

<h2>Gene mutations and evolution</h2>

The production of mutations in DNA molecules is known as mutagenesis. Changes in DNA sequence or chromosome rearrangement are just two examples of mutations that can occur in DNA. These mutations can happen on their own, as a result of mistakes made during DNA replication or mitosis. Natural selection requires genetic variety, which is produced by spontaneous mutations.

The process by which populations of organisms change over generations is known as evolution. These modifications are caused by genetic differences. Different features in an organism can be introduced by genetic differences that modify gene activity or protein function. If a characteristic is beneficial and helps an individual survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be handed down to the following generation (a process known as natural selection).

Neurons in the parasympathetic pathway use which neurotransmitters?
Kay [80]
<h2>Acetylcholine</h2>

Explanation:

  • Acetylcholine is a chemical that is found between the nerve synapses, or gaps, between nerve cells. When activated, it causes the contraction of skeletal muscles and activates glandular functions in the endocrine system. Think of acetylcholine as a mailperson; residents cannot receive their mail until he or she comes and delivers it to the mailbox. Like mailpersons who deliver the mail and move on to the next house, acetylcholine acts quickly and does not hang around. As a result, acetylcholine is rapidly broken down by another chemical substance called cholinesterase.
  • Acetylcholine was the first neurotransmitter scientists discovered, as well as the most abundant neurotransmitter in the body. A neurotransmitter is a chemical that is released by a neuron, or nerve cell, that sends a signal to another neuron across a synapse. The neurotransmitter binds to receptors to affect how the signal is received. The purpose of the neurotransmitter is to either amplify or inhibit the signals sent between the neurons.
  • Acetylcholine plays an important role in the signal of muscle movement, sensation of pain, learning and memory formation, the regulation of the endocrine system and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep cycles.

What is the role of cyclins in a cell?​
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Control of cell transition from one phase of the cell cycle to another

Explanation:

Control of cell transition from one phase of the cell cycle to another is not the only role of cyclin in the cell.

The role of cyclin C and H in the processes of transcription regulation is shown.

Cyclin H, together with the transcription factor TFIIH, plays a role in the phosphorylation of the CTD-tail of RNA polymerase II during the transcription process.

Cyclin L participates in the processes of primary transcript processing.

Dengue fever is an infectious disease of humans that is caused by a virus. There are four main viral strains, and an individual
Yuri [45]

Answer:

12

Explanation:

Suppose the four different strains are P, Q, R, S. Thus, the first infection can be from any of the four strains and it occurs in 4 ways.

Since an individual cannot be infected again with the strain from which he/she is been previously infected;

Then, at the second time;

The possible number of strain to be infected with = 4-1 = 3 ways

Thus; the number of possible different levels of severity can be viewed by forming two lettered word  P, Q, R, and S without repetition which is:

= 4 × 3

 = 12

What do anaerobic organisms have in common with photosynthetic organisms?
Dvinal [7]

Ans is option C. They both need an energy source in order to survive.

Energy is an absolute necessity to survive on this earth. All living organisms need energy be it anaerobic or photosynthetic.  Photosynthetic organisms can make their own food in the presence of sunlight by photosynthesis and harness energy from it. Anaerobic organisms can also make their own food in the absence of sunlight with the help of inorganic molecules like hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3), sulphur (S) etc.

Its just that anaerobic organism's way of harnessing energy is different from those of aerobes/photosynthetic organisms but they need energy source for sure.
