Answer:

Cystic fibrosis is a genetically transmitted or heriditary disease.

Explanation:

In cystic fibrosis the lungs and the digestive system get effected. It causes the CFTR protein (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductane Regulator) to become dysfunctional. Due to this dysfunction, chloride become unable to move.  for this reason mucus clogs the airways in the lungs which leads to respiratory failure and other complications. The gene responsible of this disease located at the long arm of chromosome number 7. Of all ethnic groups, caucasians have the highest inherited risk of this disease.

Animals can be engineered to require less food, grow quicker, and leave behind less evironmentally damaging waste.
-Animals can be engineered to be more resistant to harmful and painful diseases.
-Animals can be engineered to produce more omega-3 fatty acids, to provide leaner meat, and to make more milk.
-Animals can be engineered so their tissues, organs, and cells can be transplanted into humans.
-Animals can be engineered to produce certain substances that offer a new source of medicine.
-Animals can be engineered to reproduce much faster.

negative impacts.

It is unethical.
-Some food companies have refused to use meat or milk that is from genetically engineered animals.
-Some consumers are complaining that the animal drug rules do not regulate genetically modified animals properly.
-This process is potentially dangerous and can be very harmful.
-When engineering animals the natural ecosystem can be disturbed.
-Some animals die in experiments while other are born deformed or huge.
-Animals may live in odd comditions that are affect their natural way of life.
-Most injected eggs do not end up creating a living animal.

What changes will the sympathetic nervous system of a rabbit initiate when the rabbit is being chased by a coyote? check all tha
mario62 [17]
The correct answer is: decrease motility in the intestine, dilate bronchioles in lungs, dilate pupils, secrete epinephrine, and speed up heartbeat.

Being chased by a coyote constitutes a highly stressful and threatening situation for the rabbit. This means that the rabbit's physiology will adapt and the body will get prepared for action, that is to run and avoid the coyote.
This response is called an acute stress response (also called fight or flight response) and includes a hormonal cascade. The autonomic nervous system is responsible for the regulation of this response.

All of the changes in the sympathetic nervous system are an effort to boost the body with the necessary energy to run as fast as possible. Some of these adaptations include the dilation the lungs' bronchioles and the speeding up of the heartbeat, in order to accelerate the lung and heart action. Also, the motility of the intestine is decreased to a point where digestion nearly stops, in order for the blood flow to support the muscular action. Finally, one part of the adrenal glands triggers the secretion catecholamines, meaning the norepinephrine and epinephrine hormones.
