Answer:

Sensory transduction.

Explanation:

Sensory transduction may be defined as the process by which sensory stimulus are transformed in the body. The receptor cell is mainly involved in the sensory transduction process.

The sensory receptor cell like a light or an odor is converted into the electrical signal by the process of signal transduction. The information is then conveyed to the nervous system in the form of electrical signals.

Thus, the correct answer is signal transduction.

In Whitetail deer, there is a gene for coat color. Brown coats (B) are
ahrayia [7]

Answer: All of the offspring are brown. The chances of getting a brown deer is 100%.

Explanation: The buck is homozygous dominant, meaning he has two of the brown (B) allele. The doe is white, and since the allele for a white coat is recessive, it has to have two white (b) alleles.

Set up a Punnett square with BB on one side and bb on the other. The results of this are 4 offspring all with the genotype Bb. Because brown (B) is dominant, all of them are brown.

To find the chance of getting a brown deer, take the number of brown deer (4) and divide it by the total number of outcomes (4). This gets you 4/4 or 1. As a percent, that would equal 100%.

Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding water intake and output by the body?
REY [17]

Answer:

The correct option is this: AN INCREASE IN FLUID TAKEN BY MOUTH WOULD REDUCE THE AMOUNT PRODUCED BY METABOLISM.

Explanation:

Generally, the amount of water consumed by a person normally leads to increase in the amount of urine that the person will excrete, that is, the higher the quantity of water consumed, the higher the quantity of the urine that will be excreted under normal circumstances. Thus, the statement given in option B is false. The statements given in Option C and D are right; during exercise the quantity of sweat produce and lost by the body is higher than the one that is produced when one is not exercising. Also, diarrhea usually lead to loss of water from the body.

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

1. Muscle Fibers

2. Bones

3. Joints

Explanation:

Muscle tissue is made of muscle fibers. The plasma membrane of a muscle fiber is called sarcolemma while its cytoplasm is known as sarcoplasm. Muscle cells are characterized by the presence of specialized endoplasmic reticulum which is called sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Muscle cells exhibit contractility and extensibility. The ability of muscle cells to shorten their length forcibly in response to a stimulus is their contractility. Muscle fibers have the ability to extend and shorten themselves.

Extension and contraction of muscle fibers are responsible for the movement of the human body and its parts.

Muscles are attached to bones via tendons which in turn are the fibrous connective tissues. Muscles are also part of our joints where they assist in the movement by pulling the bones as well as stabilize and strengthen the joints.
