Mice that are deficient for Apaf1 or caspase-9 are defective for cytochrome dependent apoptosis. Apoptosis is a critical event in development, allowing excess brain cells to be weeded out. The extent of brain overgrowth and the size of the cranial protrusions indicate that the pruning process in the developing brain must be massive. The dramatic effects of the deficiencies of Apaf1 and caspase-9 suggest that the cytochrome c-dependent apoptotic pathway the intrinsic pathway must be critically important in brain development.

According to Max Weber, all governments get their powers from:
ryzh [129]

Answer:

The answer is: letter B, the people.

Explanation:

Max Weber is a German sociologist and political economist.  He proposed a theory on "bureaucracy." This is an organizational structure that focuses on rules, procedures, processes, hierarchies, etc. among the employees. He introduced the three types of power:<em> legal power, traditional power and charismatic power. </em>

According to him "power is the ability to exercise one's will over others." This definition has been adopted by many scholars over time. And for him, all governments get their power from the people. The word "power" here is different from the word "authority." Power affects social relationships and "it is NOT coercion." It provides a strategic way to rule the people so they will obey.

How do body systems work together to maintain homeostasis
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer: By Hormonal action and Nervous coordination

Explanation:

Hormones are substances produced by one tissue and conveyed by the bloodstream to another to effect physiological activity. Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment in the body.

Body systems such as digestive, circulatory, excretory systems etc, all are coordinated to achieve a STABLE INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT by the aid of HORMONES AND/OR NERVOUS COORDINATION.

For Example: the vasodilation of blood vessels during hot weather, and the opposite action of vasoconstriction during cold weather are both controlled by Hormonal action and nervous coordination which leads to a stable body temperature preventing excess heat accumulation.

Also, Nervous system controls the body systems, such that the muscle contractions are joined to actions like sweating, breathing, respiration etc

So, to maintain homeostasis hormonal action and Nervous coordination is necessary.
