Cytokinesis is the meiotic event that would mostly cause Williams syndrome.

What is Williams syndrome?

Williams syndrome (Williams-beuren syndrome) is a rare genetic disorder. It is characterized by delays in growth before and after birth, varying degree of mental deficiency, short stature, and distinctive facial features that become pronounced with age.

The syndrome can be usually identified when the child is a baby or during early childhood.

Williams syndrome occurs due to loss/ deletion of genetic material of specific part of chromosome 7. There are 25 to 27 genes in the deleted region, and many believe that the loss of many of these genes is what contributes to the characteristic features of the syndrome.

A person with Williams syndrome is usually overfriendly, highly sociable, empathetic, with some anxiety relating to social events.

Therefore, Cytokinesis is the meiotic event that would mostly cause Williams syndrome.

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The James-Lange theory of emotion.

Explanation:

According to the James-Lange theory, emotion is equivalent to the array of physiological arousal resulting due to external incidents. The two scientists indicated that for someone to feel emotion, he or she must first encounter with bodily responses like increased heart rate, increased respiration, or sweaty hands.  

Once this physiological reaction is determined, then the individual can suggest that he or she is feeling the emotions. This is in contrast to the general common-sense way of thinking regarding the cause and effect association between the experience of emotion and its expression.

In the electron transport system
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A. NADH and FADH2 both donate electrons at the same location.

Explanation:

In the respiratory chain, four large protein complexes inserted into the mitochondrial inner membrane transport NADH and FADH₂ electrons (formed in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle) to oxygen gas, reducing them to NAD⁺ and FAD, respectively.

These electrons have great affinity for oxygen gas and, when combined with it, reduce it to water molecules at the end of the reaction.

Oxygen gas effectively participates in cellular respiration at this stage, so its absence would imply interruption of the process.

NADH and FADH₂ electrons, when attracted to oxygen, travel a path through protein complexes, releasing energy in this process.

The energy released by the NADH and FADH₂ electrons in the respiratory chain in theory yields <u>34</u> <u>ATP</u>, however, under normal conditions an average of 26 ATP molecules is formed.

If we consider that these 26 molecules are added to the two ATP formed in glycolysis and two ATP formed in the Krebs cycle, it can be said that cellular respiration reaches a maximum yield of 30 ATP per glucose molecule, although theoretically this number was 38 ATP per glucose molecule.

sammy [17]

Answer:

11\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

As per the Newton's first law of motion,

v = u + at\\

where "v" is the final speed

"u" is the initial speed

"a" is the acceleration

and "t" is the time taken

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

v = 2 + (1.5)*6\\= 2 + 9\\= 11 \frac{m}{s}\\

The cart be traveling at a speed of 11 \frac{m}{s} by the time it reaches level ground.
