nydimaria [60]3 years ago
5 0
The San Andreas is a major transform fault whereby there is lateral movement between the sides of the fault and movement on it is part of the readjustment of the tectonic plates. This is as opposed to convergent plate boundaries like off the coast of British Columbia whereby the oceanic plate is pushing under the continental plate.

Select the correct statement(s):
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The correct option is B <em>Pressure-sensitive baroreceptors uses tonic receptors which adapt slowly to the stimulus</em>

Explanation:

a. The thalamus receives stimulus from all of the five senses (sight, smell, taste, hear, touch). FALSE. Olfactory information is not sent to the thalamus for its process. The rest is.  

b. Pressure-sensitive baroreceptors uses tonic receptors which adapt slowly to the stimulus. TRUE. Among the different types of tonic receptors, we may find baroreceptors, irritation receptors, tactile receptors, and proprioceptors. Tonic receptors characterize by their slow adaptation to the stimulus. The first discharge is maximal when the stimulus is received and then it progressively decreases. They send a continuous signal to the CNS.

c. The three layers that the retina is made of: photoreceptors, bipolar cells, rod cells. FALSE. There are in fact three layers in the retina: photoreceptors, bipolar cells, and ganglion cell layers. NOT rod cells.  

d. The sense of smell uses phasic receptors which continuously fire as long as the stimulus is present. FALSE. Olfactive sense uses phasic receptors, but not continuously. These receptors shoot when they receive the stimulus, and then cease if the stimulus keeps constant.

In petunias, some strains have flower petals that have a paler color compared to other strains. A true-breeding pale plant was p
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

It is maternal inheritance (cytoplasmic inheritance) of the gene for petal color.

Explanation:

In the given experiment, the color of the petal is regulated by maternal inheritance. In the first step, the true-breeding pale plant was pollinated by a true-breeding normal plant, therefore, all the F1 was identical in terms of petal color to the female plant (the true breeding pale plant).

In the second step, the F1 pale plants were pollinated by the true breeding normal plant. Again, the petal color in the progeny was determined that the female parent (the F1 pale plant). If true breeding normal plants will be pollinated by true breeding or F1 pale plant, the progeny will exhibit "normal phenotype" for petal color since the female plant has normal phenotype here.
