Answer:
An individual with an ll genotype (recessive) for the ear lobe shape trait will have a phenotype of attached ear lobes (option a).
Explanation:
The phenotypic expression of a recessive trait only occurs when both members of the allelic pair are recessive, while the presence of at least one dominant allele inhibits the expression of the recessive trait.
In this case, for the "ear lobe shape" trait, an individual with a genotype ll has a phenotype of attached ear lobes, which is recessive. In contrast, LL and Ll genotypes would express a free ear lobes phenotype.
Answer:
Spontaneous repair of peripheral nerves is made possible by Schwann cells, which surround the nerve fibers with an insulating layer, myelin. This fatty layer protects the nerves and increases the speed of transmission of nerve impulses.
Explanation:
Schwann cells are small elements that are created in order to form a layer around the axon of the nerves of the peripheral system. These cells surround the axon by an extensive layer of myelin that is discontinued by the presence of Ranvier's node. Myelin is a single cell organelle, a modified extension of the plasma membrane of the Schwann cell in the peripheral nerve. Its elaboration depends on the regulated expression of a set of genes in the myelinating glia, for which the Schwann cells require axonal contact, as well as to maintain the expression of these genes. Myelin acts as an electrical insulator that facilitates the conduction of the nerve impulse, it helps when the axons must regenerate, that is, when there is some injury or disease that prevents cell transmission. The goal is to help the nerve regenerate and grow again to reach the target tissues. Once the nerve is repaired, the cell regains its ability to produce myelin to cover the nerve with the insulating layer and allow the correct transmission of nerve impulses.
Answer:
The answer is C!!!
Explanation:
I took the flvs test and I am 100% sure it's option C, vitamin deficiency and malnutrition, because I picked that answer and it was marked correct.
An whole individual living entity is known as the organism. An organism can be defined as the individual who is capable of reacting to the stimuli, growing, reproducing and maintaining homeostasis. Multiple categories of these organisms are present on the Earth, which are classified taxonomically. The three main domains of the organisms are the archaebacteria, eubacteria, and the eukaryotes.
Hence, the answer is 'organism'.
Answer:
Bridgham et al. (2006) showed that the interaction between a steroid hormone (aldosterone-M) and its receptor (mineralocorticoid) evolved by Darwinian gradualism. In this work, the authors demonstrated a primitive affinity between the hormone and its receptor that was initially present in chemically similar but more ancient ligands. This result has implications in understanding the association between gene duplication and the evolution of hormone signaling pathways. For example, in invertebrates, this work reinforces the importance of gene duplication in the existing interaction between paralogous glucocorticoid receptors and their receptor mineralocorticoid genes that were derived from duplication (Thornton 2001).
