Correct answer: D). Damage to nerves that control the stomach

Gastroparesis is a medical condition in which the stomach is unable to empty its food. it is mainly caused due to damage caused to the vagus nerve, it is a nerve that regulates the digestive system.

Due to the damaged of vagus nerve the muscles of the stomach are not able to contract, which prevent the movement of food by the digestive system and results in gastroparesis.

The major cause of gastroparesis includes uncontrolled diabetes, multiple sclerosis, gastric surgery that cause injury to the vagus nerve and use of antidepressants etc.

Identify three types of natural selection for a polygenic trait.
kaheart [24]

Answer:

A polygenic trait can be described as a physical trait which is influenced by more than one gene.

The three types of selection for a polygenic trait are:

1) Directional Selection: In a directional selection, one of the phenotype is favored in an ecosystem. As a result of this favoring, the allelic frequency changes and shifts in favor of this particular trait.

2) Stabilizing selection: It is a type of natural selection in which the intermediate trait is favored. The population carries a middle trait in abundance.

3) Disruptive Selection: Disruptive trait is a type of natural selection in which the traits on the extreme sides are favored. The intermediate traits are less favored.

Describe one way in which ribosomes interact with organelles. How would having a larger number of ribosomes benefit a cell? In y
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Ribosomes are the machinery of protein synthesis in the cell. They are associated with different organelle of the cell. They are also found free-floating in the cytoplasm of the cell.

The organelle which ribosomes interact are plasma membrane in prokaryotes and endoplasmic reticulum(ER) in eukaryotic cell. Ribosomes are present on the surface of the ER and helps in protein synthesis in the ER. In prokaryotes, there is no ER so it is associated with plasma membrane and perform protein synthesis.

The specialized function of ribosome is to perform protein synthesis and these proteins are necessary for cell because protein are important to make enzymes that regulate the metabolism of the cell. So if protein synthesis stops cell will not able to perform important metabolic activities to survive and it will die.

Having a large number of ribosomes benefits cells because it fastens the protein synthesis process in the cell. So large amount of protein can be produced in less time.

In a carbon dioxide molecule (O=C=O), which statement is true of the electrons?
Svetllana [295]

Answer: Option A.

The electrons are being shared between the carbon and oxygen atoms.

Explanation:The electrons are being shared between the carbon and oxygen atoms because each oxygen share four electrons with the central carbon, therefore carbon atoms have 8 electrons that is shared with oxygen. The oxygen have two shared pairs in double bond and two lone pairs in non bonding. Carbon and oxygen form covalent bond. This satisfies the octet rule because the electrons are shared in both oxygen and carbon octet.

In a carbon dioxide molecule (O=C=O),
