Why is the sympathetic division of the ans called the "fight or flight" system?

Biology
1 answer:
Assoli18 [71]3 years ago
4 0
The fight or flight system is a reaction that the body undergoes when put in an either stressful or frightening situation. It includes both the nervous and endocrine system. 

The sympathetic division of the peripheral nervous system is used in this response as the sympathetic nervous system works up the body, increases the rate of breathing, heart rate, dilates the pupils, produce more sweat and slow the digestion rate. This reaction happens in the flight or fight system.

Under a microscope, gram-positive bacteria (when dyed with the gram stain) appear in purple-colored structures due to the peptidoglycan cell wall.

<h3>What are gram-positive bacteria?</h3>

Gram-positive bacteria are microorganisms (bacteria) that may be colored with crystal violet stain due to the presence of a peptidoglycan-based cell wall.

In conclusion, under a microscope, gram-positive bacteria (when dyed with the gram stain) appear purple-colored structures due to the peptidoglycan cell wall.

Individual 1 has an affected father, but the genotypes and phenotypes of individuals 1-4 are unknown. What is the probability th
Solnce55 [7]

Answer: The probability that individual 1 is heterozygous is 1.

The probability that individual 3 is heterozygous is 1.

The probability that individual 4 is affected is 0.

Explanation: Since the father was said to be affected, the genotype of the father will be homozygous recessive. Using (A) to represent the dominant allele and (a) to represent the recessive allele, we can say that the father's genotype is aa.

Since the genotype of the mother was not given, we assume that she has wild-type genotype which is homozygous dominant allele because no contrary information was given. We can then say that her genotype is AA.

A cross between aa and AA will produce offspring with genotype Aa only. Therefore, we can conclude that 1 - 4 have heterozygous alleles.
