Answer:
D (Genotype)
Explanation:
A genotype is the genetic make up of an organism i.e. what the genetic material
of an organism constitutes. Genotype describes the set of genes contained in an organism's genome. According to Mendel, an organism receives two forms of genes called ALLELE for a trait, one from each parent. The genotype of a specific gene coding for a trait is represented by each pair of allele for that trait.
Although the genotype of an organism is outwardly invisible i.e. cannot be seen, but it determines the phenotype of that organism i.e. the outward appearance. For example, if a plant receives T and T alleles coding for tallness, from each parent. The genotype of that plant for the specific height trait will be (TT). Hence, the TT genotype although invisible but controls the tallness of the plant.
The term used to describe the number of individuals moving into a population is Immigration.
Answer:
<u><em>The correct option is C) Prions</em></u>
Explanation:
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) or Mad Cow Disease is a disease which occurs due to transmissible particles known as prions. Prions cannot be considered as living organisms as they do not acquire many of the living characteristics. They are just considered as a protein which gest converted into an activated, toxic form as soon as they encounter a host cell. This toxic protein harms the central nervous system (CNS) of the cow host and is transmissible.
I believe it would be an observation
Observation in scientific process refers to gathering facts and information. In this particular context, we could see that the microbiologist is simply stating what he/she saw on the mold on the agar plate. The microbiologist simply writing down all the facts without making any explanation or assumption.
Answer:
False.
Explanation:
Neurotransmitter release occurs from the nervous terminal or varicosities in the neuronal axon. When an action potential reaches the nervous terminal, the neurotransmitter is released by exocytose. The molecule binds to its receptor in the postsynaptic neuron, triggering an answer. As long as the signal molecule is in the synaptic space, it keeps linking to its receptor and causing a postsynaptic response. To stop this process the neurotransmitter must be taken out from the synaptic space. There are two mechanisms by which the neurotransmitter can be eliminated:
• Enzymatic degradation/deactivation: There are specific enzymes in the synaptic space, which are in charge of inactivating the neurotransmitter by breaking or degrading it. The enzyme acetylcholinesterase prevents ACh from continuing to stimulate contraction.
• Reuptake: Receptors located in the presynaptic membrane can capture de molecule to store it back in new vesicles for posterior use. These transporters are active transport proteins that easily recognize the neurotransmitter.
