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.

Use the following terms to describe in detail how you visually perceive an object that you can see right now.

Answer: To see for example an apple first light that passes through the pupil is eventually reflected on the pupil, activating neurons in the retina. light waves that were reflected off the apple are changed into neural impulses (transduction) at the point of the retina, where neurons fire in response to light waves. Action potentials are released when neurons fire, sending an electrical charge through the neuron. Excitatory neurotransmitters are released when the action potential reaches the axon terminal, and that these neurotransmitters increase the chances that the next neuron will fire. Of course the neural message from the retina first passes through the thalamus, and then the thalamus routes the impulse elsewhere in the brain.

I hope it helps, Regards.

What is plant "blinking"? Why do plants do this?
Likurg_2 [28]

BLINK protein speeds up stomatal movements in response to light fluctuations resulting in improved plant growth and water use.

Plants can't move, so their “blinking” helps protect them from burning or bleaching when they are in bright sun.

I'm not sure if the first part is right, but I do know the second part is.
