Mandarinka [93]4 years ago

<span>Accommodation is the ability in which the eye changes its focus from viewing distant objects and then near objects and vice-versa.

The optics and the focal length of the eye are adjusted such that the focus of the retina is on the object even if the distance varies from the eye. It is like a reflux which can be controlled consciously. The process is a consequence of the changes in the zonal tension which is induced by the contractions of the ciliary muscles.

According to the Helmholtz theory of mechanism, the ciliary muscles that are arranged circularly in the eye relax while viewing a far object. This causes the suspensory ligaments and lens zonules to pull the lens, which flattens it.

When a near object is being viewed, the ciliary muscles contract and loosen up the lens zonules causing the lens to form a thick convex.</span>

The semilunar valves prevent backflow of blood into the _____.
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The semilunar valves prevent backflow of blood into the ventricles.

Explanation:

The semilunar valves are valves found at the junction between the left ventricle and the aorta and also between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. They are cup-like in shape and prevent blood from flowing back into the ventricles which are the pumping chambers.

There are two types of semilunar valves. The aortic semilunar valves and the pulmonary semilunar valves. They are made up of the endocardial and connective tissue.

The closure of the semilunar valves causes the second heart sound detected on the stethoscope.

Diseases that arise from the semilunar valves are caused by its stenosis which is the narrowing of the valves and regurgitation where the heart valves can no longer hold firm enough to prevent the backflow of blood.

Explain why meiosis is required in order for genetics, as scientists and you understand it, to function the way that it does
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
Meiosis actually combines the genetic components from two people and doesn't result in a genetic copy of either parent, and each child receives different genes from each parent. It creates genetic diversity among species instead of every member of a species having identical genes.

Explain how an mRNA molecule directs the synthesis of a protein.
Ivanshal [37]

During  transcription process in the nucleus, the information for synthesis of a particular protein is copied on to mRNA.

mRNA then leaves the nucleus with this information in code, and enters the cytoplasm and attaches to a ribosome. Ribosome are the "work benches" of the cell and it is here that proteins are made.

In the ribosome, transfer RNA or tRNA recognizes a triplet of bases e.g. GCA on the attached mRNA and decodes it.  This is called the translation process.  Once tRNA has determined which amino acid corresponds to that triplet, it fetches that amino acid from the pool of free amino acids in the cytoplasm and into the ribosome where it is linked with other amino acids into a chain to form the protein.
