Answer:

The autonomic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system that directs the activity of glands, organs, and smooth muscles.

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a control mechanism that operates primarily unconsciously and controls body workings like respiratory rate, heart rate, pupil response, digestion, urination and sexual excitement. This method is the primary driving force for regulating the reply to fight or flight.

To regulate physiological functions, it controls involuntary responses. There are also two divisions to the ANS while these two splits have oppositional effects on their internal organs:

the sympathetic division and
the parasympathetic division.

DNA has unique properties that allow it to accurately retain genetic information, even after multiple rounds of replication. One

Bingel [31]

Answer:

G= 22%

A=28%

T= 28%

Explanation:

Given that percentage of cytosine content (C) = 22%

Since C pairs with G, percentage of guanine content (G) would also be = 22%

Hence, G+C = 22+22 = 44%

This means that A+T = 100-44= 56%

Since adenine pairs with thymine so, percentage of A= percentage of T

Hence percentage of Adenine (A)= 56/2 = 28%

And percentage of Thymine (T) = 28%

Vinvika [58]

How do scientists decide when to change or modify their understanding of a particular topic?

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

they carry out experiments to understand it

Explanation:

Scientists raise hypotheses which are tested by experiments made under controlled conditions in order to explain a particular topic. When a hypothesis is confirmed by the experimental data, the evidence obtained from this experiment provides the basis to increase the scientific knowledge about a particular issue. In consequence, experimentation can be considered as a critical step in the scientific method and research aims to advance knowledge of a particular phenomenon by confirming a hypothesis, which must be testable (i.e. verifiable as a result of further experimentations).
