1. What function do photoreceptor cells perform?

Biology
1 answer:
Eddi Din [679]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer is 3 They detect light,allowing the spiders to see colors.

Explanation:

Photoreceptors are also called transducin  presnt in the rod cells of retina and play an important role in vision.

     The phoreceptor is a G protein coupled receptor that contain GDP.When light strikes the eye the GDP is coverted to GTP resulting in the activation of the photo receptors.

 The activation of photo receptors result in the closure of Na+ ion channels leading to hyperpolarization caused by lowering the cellular label of cGMP by the activation of phosphodiesterase enzyme.

  This ultimately result in the formation of 5"GMP.

what's the difference between these- single or multiple genes, and dominant, recessive or sex-linked genes
Veseljchak [2.6K]
A single gene disorder is one that's known to be caused by a single gene. Multiple gene disorders, however, can be caused by multiple gene combinations and other factors. Dominant genes are always expressed in the offspring, while recessive genes are only expressed if the offspring recieves the recessive gene from both parents. Sex-linked genetic disorders occur most often in men, and are caused by a single-gene disorder gene being on the X chromosome but not the Y, so that the offspring needs only one recessive gene to have the trait/disorder.

How does the insertion mutation affect the DNA?
gtnhenbr [62]
An insertion mutation occurs when an extra nucleotide is added to the DNA strand during replication. This can happen when the replicating strand "slips," or wrinkles, which allows the extra nucleotide to be incorporated (Figure 2). Strand slippage can also lead to deletion mutations. I’m not sure if this right but I tried
