Is glucose aversion a learned response, or is it inherited?

Biology
1 answer:
Keith_Richards [23]3 years ago
3 0
<span>Rather than being learned, glucose aversion is inherited as an autosomal incompletely dominant trait, which appears to he controlled by a single major gene. This was discovered through a study done on cockroaches, some were fed regular bait while some were fed bait laced with glucose. Through time they began to avoid the glucose.</span>

Why aren't human populations evolving to produce immune systems that are able to fight off MRSA and other "superbugs"?
spayn [35]

Answer: There are genes that code for different cell receptors that detect foreign substances. And for the immune system to fight these superbugs, the genes encoding these receptors must mutate and evolve. Humans have a slow rate of evolution, slower than bacterial evolution. Then not only human genes mutate at a very slow rate, but insect genes mutate very fast and can improve their strategy to evade the immune system.

Explanation:

A mutation is a random change in the nucleotide sequence or in a gene, which produces a variation in its characteristics and which is not necessarily transmitted to the offspring. They occur spontaneously by the action of mutagens, which are physical, chemical or biological agent that changes the genetic information of an organism and thereby increases the frequency of mutations above the natural level. In multicellular organisms, mutations can only be inherited when they affect the reproductive cells, called gametes (egg and sperm) A consequence of mutations can be, for example, a genetic disease, or it can also be a favorable improvement such as being able to fight against a virus. However, even if in the short term mutations could detrimental, they are essential for our long-term existence becuase without mutations there would be no change, and without change life could not evolve.

<u>The immune system is the body's natural defense against infections, such as bacteria and viruses. The body attacks and destroys invading infectious organisms by the coordinated action of cells and proteins</u>. Any substance or compound produced by an organism is a potential antigen when it is recognized as foreign by the immune system of another organism, whether it is of the same or a different species. In addition, the genes code for different cell receptors that detect these foreign substances. And for the immune system to fight these superbugs, the genes encoding these receptors must mutate and evolve. <u>But, humans have a slow rate of evolution, slower than bacterial evolution. Then not only human genes mutate at a very slow rate, but insect genes mutate very fast and can improve their strategy to evade the immune system</u>. Therefore, the human population may not have mutations that improve the immune system to help it fight againts these superbugs.

Which statement best explains why BaCl2 is an ionic compound?
Triss [41]

Answer:

D. The neutral atom Cl gains 1 electron.

Explanation:

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

For example:

Barium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.89. There is large difference is present. That's why two valence electron from barium is transfer to the chlorine. Barium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion. Both atoms are bonded together electrostatic attraction occur between anion and cations.  There are two valence electron lost by barium while chlorine required one electron to complete the octet thus two chlorine atoms are bonded with one barium atom. Each atom of chlorine carry -1 charge while one barium atom have +2 charge.
