Answer:

0.0225

Explanation:

According to the given information, the gene under study has two alleles. The frequency of one allele is 0.15. The locus is at Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium. This means that the sum of the frequencies of two alleles would be one. The frequency of homozygotes for an allele in the population is calculated as the square of the frequency of that allele.  

Therefore, if the frequency of one allele in the population is = 0.15. Frequency of homozygotes for this allele in the population would be = 0.15 x 0.15 = 0.0225

Which mechanoreceptor is located deeper in the skin and responds continuously to stimulation and is associated with perceiving s
Eva8 [605]

The mechanoreceptor that is located deeper in the skin and responds continuously to stimulation and is associated with perceiving stretching of the skin is called Ruffini corpuscle.

Mechanoreceptor is a sensory receptor that responds to mechanical pressure. They are connected with sensory neurons that convert this mechanical pressure into electrical signal. It is of four types-

1. Merkel corpuscles- detect pressure and roughness on skin.

2. Ruffini corpuscles- detect deep tension in skin, skin stretch.

3. Meissner corpuscles- perception of light touch and slip on skin.

4. Pacinian corpuscles or Vater-panician corpuscles- detect rapid vibrations.

When these receptors sense a stimuli they gets excited and generates an impulse that travels through the nerve cells into the brain.

Vacuole- near nucleus

Mitochondria- green oval looking thing

Cell Membrane- always before cell wall in a plant cell

Smooth ER- can be near rough ER ( no ribosomes)

Rough ER- always near nucleus

Cell Wall- large green thing surrounding cell membrane

What is the name of the point where the two parietals articulate with the occipital bone?
atroni [7]

Answer:

Lambdoid suture

Explanation:

The parietal bones are two bones, located above the temporal, behind the frontal and in front of the occipital. The occipital is an odd bone of the skull, with important cranial joints and sutures. The lambdoid suture extends through the back of the head. Each parietal bone joins the occipital bone in the lambdoid suture, that is, the lambdoid suture is the joint in the back of the skull that connects the parietal bones with the occipital bone.
