The pacemakers are implants that are used for the regulation of heartbeats (correction of irregular heartbeats).

It is a small device, implanted (minor surgical procedure) just under the skin of the chest, that sends electrical impulses to the heart muscle to maintain a suitable heart rate and rhythm.

 

The pacemaker has two parts:

<span>·         </span>the leads which are threaded through the veins into the heart and implanted into the heart muscle. They send impulses from the pulse generator to the heart muscle. There can be one or more leads depending on the type of the heart problem

<span>·         </span>a pulse generator which contains the battery and a tiny computer and resides just under the skin of the chest.

<span>Each impulse causes the heart to contract. A pacemaker may also be used to treat different heart issues such as fainting spells (syncope), congestive heart failure, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.</span>

During meiosis I, how could you have arranged the chromosomes in a different way? How do the differences affect the end result o
krek1111 [17]

Explanation:

Meiosis is the formation of reproductive cells, like the egg in the fallopian tube; if not fertilized by sperm, it is expelled by the menstrual cycle.

Some conditions during fertilization can be disrupted by an egg attaching to the fallopian tube instead of the uterus causing an ectopic pregnancy. Arranging chromosomes in a different way causes congenital defects like color blindness, crohn's disease down's syndrome, etc.

Sphinxa [80]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The one condition that must be met for a population to be in genetic equilibrium:

A Large Breeding Population.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • A large breeding population helps to ensure that chance alone does not disrupt genetic equilibrium.
  • In a small population, only a few copies of a certain allele may exist.
  • If for some chance reason the organisms with that allele do not reproduce successfully, the allelic frequency will change.
