Answer:

The correct option is B) send chemical messages across small gaps between neurons.

Explanation:

Neurons are the cells that make up our nervous system. Although they are connected to each other, they do not maintain physical contact with each other. The nerve impulse travels through the neuron, and when it reaches its dendrites, it is transmitted to the next neuron through the synapse, which is produced through the exchange of chemical substances called neurotransmitters. Neurons communicate with each other through the small spaces (or small gaps) between them, in a process known as synaptic transmission (where synapses are the connections between neurons). This synapse requires neurotransmitters (for example dopamine or glutamate) for the transmission of the signal or message, which after being released will bind to specific receptors causing an ionic change by opening or closing a channel.

A novice nurse provides aftercare instructions to a client who has just had sutures removed. Which statement by the novice nurse
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Statement like this 'If the wound edges are red or raised, you should call your doctor." need to be clarified by a nurse preceptor.

Explanation:

Suture is a thread-like material or a stitch which is used to hold together or sew tissue or surgical incision together.

A nurse preceptor is a nurse that is highly experienced and known to be competent, playing a role as a role- model or point of call either to a newly employed staff nurse or a nurse that has just been posted to a new unit or section, where he/she has no experience about.

In this case , the novice nurse must clarify the statements from the the nurse preceptor before disseminating it to the client. This is very important , in order to avoid a negative aftermath effects.

Describe a real-life example of selection against a homozygous recessive genotype
Nezavi [6.7K]

The homozygous recessive traits are those traits, which occur due to the inheritance of two recessive alleles of coding for a particular genotype.  

The real life example of a homozygous recessive trait is sickle cell anemia. In this condition, the inheritance of the recessive alleles for sickle shape red blood cells leads to change in the shape of the red blood cells to sickle like. Due to the changes in the shape of red blood cells, it is not able to carry the oxygen in the blood, which leads to the anemia condition.

As a Drosophila research geneticist, you keep stocks of flies of specific genotypes. You have a fly that has normal wings (domin
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

You have to do a test cross. If all the offspring have normal wing, then the the stock are from pure-breeding flies, but if 3/4 of the offspring have normal wings and 1/4 have short wings, then the stock is from heterozygous for the wing-length trait.

Explanation:

A test cross was proposed by Mendel. It was developed to determine the zygosity of an individual. It consists in crossing the individual (which present the dominant phenotype) with an individual that exhibits the recessive phenotype. Then you have to analyze the proportions of phenotypes in the offspring.

If a pure-breeding individual is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual; then all the offspring will have the dominant phenotype.

If a heterozygous individual is crossed with a homozygous recessive individual; then 3/4 of the offspring will have the dominant phenotype, and 1/4 will have the recessive phenotype.

To have the dominant phenotype, the individual need to have at least one dominant allele, while to have a recessive phenotype, both alleles need to be recessive.
