The vertical columns on the periodic table are called groups or families because of their similar chemical behavior. All the members of a family of elements have the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties. The horizontal rows on the periodic table are called periods

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The neural pathway regulates the action reflex. At times sensory neurons synapse occur in the spinal cord rather than the brain, this allows for a quicker reflex action. Synapses in the spinal cord activate spinal motor neurons without delay, which is likely the case if the signals go to the brain, the brain doe however receive the sensory input during the reflex action.

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

semen/seminal fluid

Explanation:

The "semen" consists of <em>sperm cells</em> and<em> other secretions</em>. These secretions come from the <u>seminal vesicles, prostate gland, testicles, epididymis, bulbourethral and urethral glands.</u>

Once the male is aroused <em>(through sexual action)</em>, the penis gets larger and this causes the release of the <em>semen </em>from the scrotum <em>(regulates the temperature of the testes)</em><em>. </em>Such process is known as "ejaculation." This fluid has a<em> high potential to make a woman give birth.</em>

Is cloning an organism the same as cloning a gene
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:no. In nature, some plants and single-celled organisms, such as bacteria, produce genetically identical offspring through a process called asexual reproduction. In asexual reproduction, a new individual is generated from a copy of a single cell from the parent organism.

Natural clones, also known as identical twins, occur in humans and other mammals. These twins are produced when a fertilized egg splits, creating two or more embryos that carry almost identical DNA. Identical twins have nearly the same genetic makeup as each other, but they are genetically different from either parent

Gene cloning produces copies of genes or segments of DNA. Reproductive cloning produces copies of whole animals. Therapeutic cloning produces embryonic stem cells for experiments aimed at creating tissues to replace injured or diseased tissues.

Gene cloning, also known as DNA cloning, is a very different process from reproductive and therapeutic cloning. Reproductive and therapeutic cloning share many of the same techniques, but are done for different purposes.

Is selection more effective against recessive alleles in haploid or diploid organisms?
svet-max [94.6K]
The selection of more effective which is against recessive alleles in haploid organisms than diploid organisms. This is because haploid organisms contain a single set of alleles if a deleterious allele is present in haploid organisms which will produce its effect immediately as there will be no dominant allele which can prevent the expression of the recessive allele as it happens in diploids. Recessive allele will not produce its effect in presence of the dominant allele in the case of heterozygote which is Aa.
Where there is haploid the selection will be more effective when removing recessive alleles in the population. It is the homozygous recessive condition which as aa then the selection will act against recessive alleles.
