Answer is liquid ; solid

Seismic waves are the waves of energy caused by an earthquake. They are the energy that travels through the earth and is recorded on seismographs. Since they are a mechanical wave, requires a medium to travel. P or primary wave and S or shear wave are seismic waves.  P- Wave is a compression or longitudinal wave which can travel through solids, liquids and gasses. S-wave is a transverse wave and can only travel through solids. The movement of seismic waves depends on the density and elastic properties of the medium through which they travel. These waves travel faster in solid than in liquid.

Which of the following describes the nervous system integrative function? A. responds to stimuli by gland secretion or muscle co
Verdich [7]

Answer:

B. analyzes sensory information, stores information, makes decisions

Explanation:

The receptors sense the changes or stimuli. The sensory neurons of the nervous system deliver this sensory information to the processing center, that is, to the central nervous system. The central nervous system serves to store the information and analyze it to determine the best suitable response. The ability of the nervous system to the store and process of sensory information to make the effector organs to exhibit the best response represents its integrative function.

In the paired chromosomes, which pair might have two different chromosomes with very different genetic coding?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer: X and Y chromosomes.

Explanation:

<u>Chromosome that differs from other chromosomes (autosomes) in shape, size and behavior are called sex chromosome, allosome, heterochromosome or idiochromosome.</u> These sex chromosomes are typical mammalian allosomes and are sex-determining in species in which sex is determined by the XX-XY system. The presence of the XX allosomes determines female sex, while the XY allosomes are for male sex. These chromosomes contain different genes, where some are only on the X chromosome and others only on the Y chromosome, and a few are on both.

The size of the human X chromosome is 164 million bases and currently has 1,170 genes. It is composed of many repetitive DNA segments that do not code for any protein or their function is not known. Only 1.7% of the chromosome codes for functional proteins that are low in length compared to the average length of a human gene. It has a small number of genes known as housekeeping or constitutive -(responsible for the basic maintenance of the cell) and <u>most of the genes it contains are expressed in few tissues or are tissue-specific, which is especially true for those expressed in brain regions.</u> So, the X chromosome is larger and has more euchromatin regions than the <u>Y chromosome which only has genes that code for male sexual development</u>. Since females have two X chromosomes and males have only one, during development in females one of the X chromosomes is inactivated at random in each tissue to make a dosage compensation. Otherwise, females would be expressing twice as many genes as a male. And through inactivation and dosage compensation, both males and females will express the same number of genes.
