Answer:

The threshold in biology is explained in terms of neuroscience or action potential that affects nervous system.

The threshold value is the value that identifies incoming signals that should be sufficient enough to generate an action potential. The potentials generated by the signals are additive, and reaches threshold depends on their amplitude and frequency.

An absolute threshold is defined as the minimum level of signals like light, touch or sound , detected by any organism and allows them to react.

While Difference threshold allow to detect difference between two different signals.

A maternal effect can cause the offspring phenotype ratio to depart from that of classic Mendelian inheritance. In a species of
Luda [366]
<h2>Maternal effect</h2>

Explanation:

In maternal effect the phenotype of the progeny is decided by the genotype of the mother

  • The female partner is one step ahead to her male partner
  • The ovum transcribes some of its nuclear genes prior to fertilization and these genes are responsible for the development of embryo that is why these genes are called maternal effect genes
  • This effect is observed in Drosophila

In the given question both male and female have brown eyes with Nn genotype,phenotype of the offspring will be decided by the genotype of mother(Nn) hence despite of having recessive genotype(nn) all the offsprings will show brown eyes

How does gaseous exchange tale place in amoeba
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Simple organisms, such as theamoeba and earthworm, have a moist, permeable external surface. Oxygencan pass into them through this surface by diffusion. A large surface area is needed for effective gas exchange - so larger, more complex, organisms have special organs such as gills and lungs.

What happens to the temperature of gasses as they reach the top of the suns convection zone
adell [148]

The temperature of the plasma gasses cools. This is because the gases lose some of their energy into light photons that disperse into space. When the plasma gases get cooler gases to become denser and sink to the bottom of the convection zone and are replaced from upwelling hotter plasma gas. The temperature at the bottom of the convection zone is approximately 200,000° C while that at the surface is 5700° C.

A human living now and a horse that lived thousands of years ago could:
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

C. be made of some of the same matter

Explanation:

The human beings living in the present time can be related to the horses that lived thousands of years ago.

This could be due to the fact that resources on the Earth were present in the past had been recycled again and again through the biogeochemical cycles.

This shows that the elements present on the Earth can be reused again and again and the elements which could have composed the horse now form the matter in the humans.

Thus, Option-C is correct.
