Answer:

Example of the Epistasis in plants is observed in the "summer squash".

Explanation:

Epistasis refers to a gene interaction in which one gene is masked by the other gene and affect the phenotype. The gene which masks the other gene is known as the epistatic gene and the gene which is being masked is known as the hypostatic gene.

The epistasis gene effect is observed in which more than one gene controls the same phenotype.

The example can be observed in the summer squash fruits in which more than one gene controls the color of the fruit.

The summer squash can be controlled by the white allele (W), Yellow allele (G) and the green by the recessive form of the w and g. If the W gene is present than it masks the other allele and thus white colour becomes dominant and is considered the case of the dominant epistasis.

During protein synthesis, the peptide bond between amino acids is formed by the process of _____.

taurus [48]

During protein synthesis, the peptide bond between amino acids is formed by the process of condensation. Condensation is a reaction when two smaller molecules (in this case amino acids) make a larger molecule(protein) and water as a side product.

Non example of mitochondrion

Yuliya22 [10]

The number of mitochondria per cell varies widely; for example, in humans, erythrocytes (red blood cells) do not contain any mitochondria, whereas liver cells and muscle cells may contain hundreds or even thousands. The only eukaryotic organism known to lack mitochondria is the oxymonad Monocercomonoides species.

In the disease myasthenia gravis, the human body makes-by mistake- antibodies to its own acetylcholine receptor molecules. These

andre [41]

Answer:

Muscle contraction function.

Explanation:

The nerve endings possess synaptic acetylcholine vesicles ready to be released. The action potential depolarizes the presynaptic terminal and increases the concentration of axoplasmic calcium; Acetylcholine molecules are thus released, so that the concentration of the neurotransmitter at postsynaptic (nicotinic) receptors is temporarily increased. This is followed by post-synaptic membrane depolarization, muscle membrane action potential with increased rnioplasmic calcium concentration, and finally muscle contraction. Acetylcholine is hydrolyzed by acetylcholinesterase and resynaptic at the presynaptic level by cholinecetyltransferase. The etiopathogenesis of myasthenia gravis is autoimmune and there are antibodies against acetylcholine receptors that circulate in the blood, as well as a decrease in the number of receptors on the motor plates, that is, it is produced by the postsynaptic blockage of the myoneural plaque, that generates fatigue and localized or generalized muscle weakness that is characterized by the worsening of the contractile force of the muscle.

Elis [28]

Water pollution from pulp and paper mills harms plants, animals, and humans is an example of a market failure caused by an externality.
The term externalities denotes consequences of an economic activity. When a product or service's price equilibrium does not accurately reflect the true costs and benefits of that product or service this leads to market failure.In this case the externalities are excess production.
