dusya [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Noncommunicable Disease

Explanation:

A disease caused by a pathogen which is transmitted from person to person or from one host to another is called communicable. When a person steps on a rusty nail, the spores of <em>Clostridium tetani </em>enter the body and cause tetanus characterized by muscular spasms. Since <em>Clostridium tetani </em>is not transmitted directly from an infected person to a healthy person, tetanus is considered a non-communicable disease.

sashaice [31]
Assuming the white phenotype is recessive. white: gg
I think the gray mouse is Gg because the offspring were pretty equally distributed in terms of color. See the punnet square below.
g g
G| Gg Gg
g| gg gg

If the Gray phenotype is recessive, then gray: ww but only if white is Ww because its about 50% chance for both.

How can you figure out the relative age of rocks
Thepotemich [5.8K]
You can figure it out by looking at a sequence of rocks to try to decipher the times that an event occurred relative to the other events represented in that sequence. The relative age of a rock then is its age in comparison with other rocks. If you know the relative ages of two rock layers, (1) Do you know which is older and which is younger? (2) Do you know how old the layers are in years? so yeah séquences haha

The influx of Na+ from the scala vestibuli is critical in mechanotransduction to occur in the vestibular system.
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The scala vestibuli contain perilymph in which there is a domination of Na+ ion which is K+ in endolymph. endolymph has domination of K+ because they have very large potential as compared to perilymph this is also called endocochlear potential . there is a potential difference of about 150 mV across the stereocillary membranes that drive cations through mechanotransduction channels
