Answer:

The correct answer is spinal cord.

Explanation:

A reflex action is an instantaneous response movement caused due to stimulus. This is an involuntary action which is controlled by the neurons of the spinal cord through a pathway called reflex arc.  

This reflex arc starts when excited receptors send signals in the form of impulse through sensory neurons. This impulse travels to the dorsal roots of the spinal cord via afferent neuron or sensory neuron where interneuron or association neuron send the signals via motor neurons to muscle cells which respond.

Thus, the spinal cord is the correct answer.

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Law of segregation

Explanation:

Mendel's law of segregation states that alleles of a gene get separated into gametes during meiosis. He discovered this law when he crossed a homozygous tall plant with a homozygous short plant. He noticed that all the F1 offsprings were tall. He then self-crossed the F1 offsprings to produce a phenotypic ratio of 3:1 in the F2 generation.

In this test cross, a dominant plant with green pod was crossed with a homozygous recessive plant with yellow pods. This cross was conducted to determine the genotype of the dominant parent. The result showed that the parent is heterozygous (Gg) because a 1:1 phenotypic ratio was obtained i.e. 1 Green pod plant: 1 yellow pod Plant.

This illustrates what Mendel discovered in his law of segregation that each allele will get separated into the gametes. In this case of Gg plant, G and g alleles will get separated into gametes. Although the g allele was masked but it will get separated into gametes, which will fuse with another recessive gamete from the homozygous recessive parent (gg) to produce a homozygous recessive offspring.

Answer:

"The scientific method describes the processes by which scientists gain knowledge about the world. It's characterized by six key elements: questions, hypotheses, experiments, observations, analyses, and conclusions. These elements are interrelated steps, so they don't always function in the same order."
