Answer:
If a stimulus to a neuron is great enough, ___<u>t</u><u>h</u><u>r</u><u>e</u><u>s</u><u>h</u><u>o</u><u>l</u><u>d</u>_____ is reached and an action potential is generated.
Answer:
<u>C) They may provide selective advantages.
</u>
<u>D) Slight differences in the genetic code may have significant results.</u>
Explanation:
The genetic code is universal, and present in most living beings . Generally, in most living organisms, the same codons are assigned to the same amino acids.
DNA sequences make up genes that may have multiple variants, called alleles. DNA deoxyribonucleic acid, is transcribed into mRNA and then translated into amino acids that form proteins.
Natural selection mainly acts on phenotypes, which are dependent on proteins and the organisms's environment. Phenotypes conferring advantageous traits are favored by the selection process- these help groups of organisms evolve over time.
Answer:
Why is healthy skin important? Healthy skin is important because it is your first line of defense against bacteria and other pollutants in the environment. Healthy skin is more resilient when faced with external stresses, serves as an important sensory organ and helps to regulate our body temperature.
The outermost layer of skin, called the epidermis, produces a thin barrier layer called the stratum corneum. This layer varies throughout the body in its structure, thickness, composition and functional properties. For example, the skin on your palms and soles is thicker than on your face.
Skin changes such as wrinkling are one of the physical alterations most readily associated with aging. It may surprise you that the outer layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, changes very little as we age. The main changes occur at a deeper level. Collagen, a basic chemical building block of skin and connective tissue, decreases with age.
Explanation:
Crossing over happens in Meiosis 1 only. In Prophase 1 a cells chromatin (chromatin = chromosomes that have not condensed yet) condense and pair up forming homologous chromosomes (paired = XX (2 chromosomes together)). When this happens segments/ alleles of the chromosomes pairing up swap over. This creates genetic diversity as each chromosome is different, it has parts from its pair. This leaves every chromosome unique and individual.
I hope this helps, sorry some of the vocab is rather technical. By the way I would suggest watching the
'Crash Course: Meiosis' on YouTube, this really helped me when I was learning this topic. :D
