When arrector pili muscles contract (during cold or fright), the slanted hair follicle is pulled upright, dimpling the skin surface with goosebumps.

The arrector pili muscles attaches to the base of the hair and also to the dermal tissue from both the ends. When goosebumps appear, this action takes place due to the contract of these muscles. These muscles are triggered by the norepinephrine.

Hair follicle is a tube-like pore surrounding the root of the hair. These follicles are responsible for the hair growth. Various hormones, neuropeptides and immune cells are involved in this process of hair growth.

The muscles that contract (during cold or fright), the slanted hair follicle is pulled upright, dimpling the skin surface with goosebumps are called arrector pili muscle.

The arrector pili muscle are tiny muscle that attaches to the base of the hair follicle at one end  and to the dermal tissue on the other end. When the body feels cold or fright the body generate heat and the arrector pili muscle contract all at once, that causes goosebumps on the skin.

The arrector pili muscle acts as the thermoregulator. Straight stand hair increases air trapping, so that the heat loss from the body decreases. The arrector pili muscle are mediated by the sympathetic nervous system.

Assuming dragon genetics follows the same rules as fruit flies, what ratio of genotypes would you expect if the genes were not l
andrew11 [14]

Assuming dragon genetics follow the same rules as fruit flies, we would get the same possible genotype for all 16 offspring provided that the genes are not linked.

Considering dragon genetics, flame eyes (F) are dominant to blue eyes (f) and burbling (B) is dominant to whistling (b).

Now, a dihybrid cross between two homozygous blue-eyed, whistling dragons will yield 16 offspring all with the same possible genotype .i.e. homozygous blue-eyed, whistling type.

Morgan through experiments on fruit flies observed that when the two genes in a dihybrid cross were situated on the same chromosome, the proportion of parental gene combination were much higher than the non-parental type.

He attributed this due to the physical association or linkage of the two genes and coined the term 'linkage' to describe the physical association of genes on a chromosome. The term 'recombination' is to describe the generation of non-parental gene combination.

Photo 51 is a picture of the structure of DNA that was used to create a model of DNA. Who created the photo?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
<span>DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid. It has a double strand that contains the genes (a hereditary material) of the organism. It was discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick. Their double-helix structure was based on x-ray diffraction image named as Photograph 51 or Photo 51. It was taken by Raymond Gosling, a pHD student under the supervision of Rosalind Franklin. They used this photo to determine the chemical and physical structure of the DNA and the bond that links the genes altogether. The answer is Rosalind Franklin</span>

How do scientists theorize that cyanobacteria affect the development of endosymbiosis?
timama [110]
Cyanobacteria are primitive organisms where chloroplasts are believed to be originated. Now, with the theory of endosymbiosis, this suggests that these organelle from cyanobacteria was engulfed by other organisms which has helped them process light with the help of chloroplasts.
