Answer:

Option (A).

Explanation:

Ionic bond may be defined as the type of chemical bond that can be formed by the transfer of electrons from the electropositive element to the electronegative element. Ionic bond is also known as electrostatic bond.

Phosphorus has an atomic number 15. It requires three more electrons to complete its orbit. Phosphorus can accept three electrons and attains negative charge. The phosphorus can form ionic bond by accepting three electron from the other atom.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Astrocytes create the blood–brain barrier to protect the brain. True or False
son4ous [18]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is a selective border that prevents the entry of foreign substances into the brain. It is made up of different components including endothelial cells, astrocytes, and pericytes etc.

Of all these mentioned three, the endothelial cells are directly responsible for the selectivity of the BBB. The endothelial cells are bound together by the tight junctions situated between them, impeding the passage of foreign materials e.g. solutes, pathogens etc.

Astrocytes help to maintain the BBB by surrounding the endothelial cells, providing biochemical strength.

The pericytes are located in the basement membrane, where they communicate with endothelial cells. They help to sustain the BBB by stabilizing and monitoring the maturation of endothelial cells via communicating directly between cell membrane as well as paracrine signalling.

Gene flow or migration is the transfer of alleles or genes from one population to another. Select the combination of facts that
Montano1993 [528]

The correct answer to this question is B. Some members of the Fugate family had a genetic condition called methemoglobinemia, that gave a blue color to their skin. The gene causing this disease is an autosomal recessive gene, so to have this condition you need to be homozygotes for this recessive gene. Gene flow was prevalent in the Fugate family since not all of the children had blue complexion, but only four of them. The three children that did not have blue complexion, had the dominant allele, probably through gene migration from another population nearby. Also, since it is easier nowadays to travel, two separate populations could meet more easily. This increases the incidence of gene flow and explains the reduction of the occurrence of the condition.
