How does neural transmission compare to endocrine signal transmission?

Biology
2 answers:
zalisa [80]3 years ago
5 0
The best way to compare the nervous system and the endocrine system is to compare the characteristics of speed, specificity and plasticity (abilityto respond and change permanently, particularly with respect to strength and speed.) The nervous system uses rapid electrical signals along nerve axons.Chemical signals are used between nerve cells at synapses. Although this chemical transmission is slower than electrical transmission, synapses are important in transmission between nerve cells. The endocrine system uses hormones, which are secreted into and transported to their target cells via the <span>circulation of blood. Due to the delay of circulation, hormonal responses.</span>

Neural transmission:
1) is transmitted by neurones.
2) quick response
3) involves neurones
4) short lived
5) may be voluntary or involuntary
6) usually localised

Endocrine signal transmission:
1) transmitted by blood
2) usually slow responses
3) involves hormones
4) may be short lived or long lived
5) involuntary
6) may affect more than one target organ

In a diploid organism, there are ___ number of copies of most genes. In a population, there may be many different gene sequences
sineoko [7]

Answer:

In a diploid organism there are two copies of most genes.

The versions of the genes are called alleles.

Explanation:

Hello!

The genetic servants of a population are all variants of each of the genes present. These variables are possible thanks to the mutations that occur in the formation of the zygote (before or after fertilization).

When part of the DNA of an organism undergoes a point mutation (on one or a few nitrogenous bases) the body activates a series of responses to reverse it, however sometimes the mutation is maintained and can give rise to a change in a protein.

Sometimes and under certain circumstances (the change should not cause death or significant disadvantages in the body that is born) the mutation is maintained in the population giving rise to different alleles of the same gene.

In an organism there are two copies of each gene (genotype) but only one of them (phenotype) is expressed.

The allele of the gene that is expressed may depend on various factors but the dominant allele is usually expressed.

Cathy hypothesized that corn would not grow in mud. To test this hypothesis, she took corn kernels and placed 5 in mud, 3 in soi
Softa [21]
The seeds she planted in the mud grew quicker because the mud is holding nutrition for the corn. The soil is a good guess to make, but the mud is more dense and moist. The water wouldn't have had more nutrients than the mud, just because the mud holds breakdown matter and other things from other plants.

In one of the first steps in Prophase I of meiosis,
Vikki [24]

Answer:

D) homologous pairs of chromosomes form tetrads

Explanation:

During prophase I, the homologous chromosomes condense and become visible as the x shape we know, pair up to form a tetrad, and exchange genetic material by crossing over.

In the game peek-a-boo, the mother initially covers the baby. then she removes the cover and registers "surprise" at the infant'
alisha [4.7K]

Answer;

-Scaffolding

Explanation;

Scaffolding as a metaphor in teaching and learning describes the adaptive and temporary support provided by a more competent person (e.g., teacher or adult) to a less competent person (e.g., student or child). For example; mother–child interaction during the game of peekaboo.

Scaffolding is one of the several aspects of effective instruction that can be applied in the context of language learning. Although teachers might be enthusiastic about the idea of scaffolding, it must be borne in mind that scaffolding is not simply synonymous with teacher support.
