Activation of G-protein coupled receptors contribute to the long-term enhancement of the gill withdrawal reflex in Aplysia but is not involved in the short-term enhancement of the reflex.

The gill and siphon withdrawal reflex (GSWR) of the sea hare <em>Aplysia californica</em>, also known as a giant shell-less sea snail or sea slug, is an involuntary defence response that the sea hare does automatically. When the animal is startled, this response causes the sea hare's sensitive siphon and gill to retract, protecting them from further damage. Because of the ease of use and fairly large size of the underlying neuronal circuitry, the species<em> Aplysia californica</em> is utilized in the field of neuroscience research for the purpose of investigating the cellular basis of behaviour, such as habituation, dishabituation, and sensitization.

If you are testing traits for Mendelian inheritance, how do you calculate the EXPECTED values?
Georgia [21]

n a cross between two heterozygous individuals, the offspring would be expected to show a 3 : 1 ratio. For example, in Case 1, three-fourths of the individuals would have red (wild-type) eyes, and one-fourth would have sepia eyes.

If there are 44 offspring, how many are expected to have red eyes?

We expect three-fourths to have red eyes.
<span>34</span> of 44 = 33

If there are 44 offspring, how many are expected to have sepia eyes?
<span>14</span> of 44 = 11

Now you are ready to calculate chi-square.

What are the three classes of bryophytes?
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Class I: Hepaticopsida ( Liverworts)

Class II: Anthocerotopsida ( Hornworts)

Class III: Bryopsida ( Mosses)

Explanation:

Bryophytes are small plants that grows in moist and shady places.They don't attain great heights because of absence of roots, vascular tissues, mechanical tissues and cuticle. They are terrestrial but require external water to complete their life cycle. Hence they are called as the" amphibians" of the animal kingdom.

Class I: Hepaticopsida or Hepaticae

  • Gametophytic plant body is either thalloid or foliose. If foliose the lateral appendages are  without midrib.
  • Rhizoids without septa
  • Each cell in the thallus contain many chloroplasts
  • Sex organs are embedded in the dorsal surface
  • Capsule lacks columella
  • Sporophyte may be simple having only one capsule or differentiated into root, seta and capsule
  • It has 4 orders: Calobryales, Jungermanniales, Spherocarpales and Marchantiales

Class 2: Anthocerotae or Anthocerotopsids:

  • Gametophytic plant body is simple, thalloid;thallus dorsiventra without air chambers shows no internal differentiation of tissues
  • Scales are absent in the thallus
  • Each cell of the thallus possess a single large chloroplast with a pyrenoid
  • Sporophyte is cylindrical only partly dependent on gametophyte for its nourishment. It is differentiated into bulbous foot and cyclindrical capsule. Seta is meristematic.
  • Endotheciumforms the sterile central column in the capsule. It have ony one order Anthocerotales

Class 3: Musci or Bryopsida

  • Gametophyte is differentiated into prostrate protonema and an erect gametophores
  • Gametophore ids foliose, differentiated into axis and lateral appendages like leaves but without midrib.
  • Rhizoids are multicellular with oblique septa
  • Elaters are absent in the capsule of sporangium
  • The sex organs are produced in seperate branches immersed in a group of leaves.
  • It has only three orders: Bryales, Andriales and Sphagnales

Bryophytes are used as a packaging material for fragile goods, glasswares etc.Mosses are good source of animal food in rocky and snow clad areas. Decoction prepared by boiling Sphagnum in water  is used for the treatment of eye disease.
