Answer:

Pleiotropy

Explanation:

Pleiotropy is a genetic condition in which a single gene conditions the expression of multiple phenotype. There are different types of pleiotropy depending on the underlining mechanism

  • <em>gene pleiotropy</em>
  • <em>developmental pleiotropy</em>
  • <em>selectional pleiotropy</em>
  • <em>antagonistic pleiotropy </em>

<em>Phenylketonuria is a disease characterized by increased level of amino acid phenylalanine in the blood. It caused by mutation to the gene responsible for breaking down phenylalanine in the blood. Elevated level of phenylalanine causes other issues such as mental problems, urine coloration and reduction in skin pigmentation. This is a clear case of pleiotropy.</em>

Aquaporin allows water molecules to move very rapidly across a plasma membrane. what would be the best definition of this proces
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
<span>This is an example of facilitated diffusion using a channel. Diffusion is the process of an object moving across a concentration gradient, usually from areas of higher to lower concentration in membranes. In this case, the diffusion is "facilitated" by the aquaporin molecules and water is allowed to enter or exit the membrane based on concentration level.</span>

Hin a neurophysiological investigation, a monkey makes an involuntary gesture when a portion of its brain is electrically stimul
Vlad1618 [11]

The area of the brain that was most likely stimulated is the motor cortex portion of the frontal lobe.


The frontal lobe plays a large role in movement because the primary motor cortex which regulates movement activities is located in it. Stimulation of the monkey motor cortex can evoke complex actions.

VARVARA [1.3K]
I would say the Geosphere, as Biosphere, Hydrosphere, and Atmosphere don't quite fit Volcanology.
