Answer:

The hair is a nonhuman animal hair.

Explanation:

To decide if this hair is a human hair or a nonhuman animal hair, we need to calculate the medullary index.

The medullary index has the following formula :

MedullaryIndex=\frac{Medulla'sWidth}{EntireHair'sWidth} (I)

If we replace the data from the question in the equation (I) :

MedullaryIndex=\frac{58microns}{110microns}=0.527

The medullary index is 0.527

Now, the medullary index for humans is 0.33 or less while the medullary index for animals is 0.50 or greater.

⇒ 0.527>0.50 ⇒

We answer that the hair is a nonhuman animal hair.

If you treated embryos with a Notch inhibitor how would this affect the specification of venous and arterial endothelial cells?
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

d. all endothelial cells would be venous

Explanation:

The Notch signaling pathway is a cell signaling system which consist basically of 4 NOTCH genes ( NOTCH1, NOTCH2, NOTCH3, and NOTCH4) each of them having the information to build a particular cell membrane receptor protein.

It has been demonstrated in zebrafish embryos that Notch signaling are highly determinant factors during vascular development, and a key function of these genes was specifically to regulate the differentiation of arterial fate in endothelial cells.

Notch signaling-deficient embryos showed a loss of expression of arterial markers such as ephrinB2 from arterial vessels with an accompanying expansion of venous markers into normally arterial domains. In contrast, embryos in which Notch signaling had been ectopically activated, meaning an activation out of "proper" place (where not expected, e.g. venous endothelial), exhibited the contrary phenotype, this is a suppression of vein-specific markers with ectopic expression of arterial markers in venous vessels.

To summarize, when Notch is supressed (in this case inhibited with a specific Notch inhibitor) arterial fate of endothelium is not followed, and venous fate is stablished. Thus, endothelial cells (those expected to form venous tissues but also arterial ones) would specified as venous.

Which stores ground water
kolezko [41]
Groundwater is enclosed in aquifers. Groundwater is found within a large range of rocks, but the most effective aquifers are found in porous, open cavities, and permeable rocks. Aquifers can contain salty, briny, and fresh water. Groundwater can exit the aquifer by the pumping of a well, which is usually called discharge. The answer is aquifers.

Why do we need to study, talk and explore the Male and Female Sexual Anatomy
Serga [27]
We study sexual anatomy to better understand the process of reproduction in humans. It also can help us better understand how a majority of animals reproduce, and how it can influence ecosystems. I hope this helps, and please mark as Brainliest answer!!
