es of the digestive system. What most likely causes the burning sensation?The muscle at the end of the esophagus is not able to close, which allows stomach acid and digested food to go back upO into the esophagus.The villi in the small intestine are producing extra acid that is then concentrated at the pharynx.O The esophagus goes into muscle spasms while the salivary glands produce excess acidO Too much water absorption in the large intestine disrupts the pH of the digestive system, causing acid to reenter thestomach.

The correct option is this: THE MUSCLES AT THE END OF THE ESOPHAGUS IS NOT ABLE TO CLOSE, WHICH ALLOW STOMACH ACID AND DIGESTED FOOD TO GO BACK UP INTO THE ESOPHAGUS.

Heartburn is also called acid reflux and it occurs, when the sphincter muscle at the tail end of the esophagus relaxes when it ought not to, thus allowing stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus. Heartburn may be caused by some types of food, alcohol or drugs.

irinina [24]

Answer:

b. the same gene, but not necessarily the same DNA base position.

Explanation:

Starting with a population of genetically identical mice, you discover two new independent mutant strains in which all of the animals have epileptic seizures. In both strains, you know that the epileptic seizures are due to a single DNA mutation. You cross a mutant mouse from one strain to a mutant mouse from the second strain and find that none of their offspring undergo spontaneous seizures. From this experiment you would conclude that the two mutant strains of mice most likely have mutations in the same gene,  but not necessarily the same DNA base position.

Demonstrate in a brief paragraph how the scientific method is used to help us understand the universe and the movement of planet
Zolol [24]

Answer: The scientific method attempts to minimize the influence of bias or prejudice in experiments. Even the best-intentioned scientists can't escape bias. That's the job of the scientific method. It provides an objective, standardized approach to conducting experiments and, in doing so, improves their results.
