Is Human height an example of a trait that represents sex linkage because many separate genes contribute to this single trait.

Many separate genes contribute to the human height, so it is the example of polygenic inheritance. Still, height is not sex linked trait. Sex linkage means that the expression of an allele is dependent on the gender. Height could not be a sex linked trait since both men and women have height, but the variations exist. Difference between men and women regarding the height is the consequence of the sex hormones on the height.

How does the structure of a brain cell related to its function?
lesya [120]

Solution:

Structure dictates function. Ribosomes provide another good example of structure determining function. These small cellular components are made of protein and ribosomal RNA (RNA).Their main function is to translate messenger RNA, or mRNA, into strings of amino acids called proteins.

The structure and shape of each type of human cell depends on what function it will perform in the body. For example, red blood cells (RBCs) are very small, flat discs, which allows them to easily fit through narrow capillaries and around sharp corners in the circulatory system to deliver oxygen throughout the body.

Neurons carry messages from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body, using electrical signals down their lengths and chemical signals between neurons. Since electrical signals travel much faster than chemical signals, neurons are long and thin to minimize the number of slower chemical signals that would be required between links in a chain of many shorter neurons.

The elongated shape of muscle cells allows the contraction proteins to line up in an overlapping pattern that makes muscle flexing possible.

And human sperm cells’ structures allow them to “swim” long distances to reach an egg for fertilization. They do this by using flagella, their long whip-like tails, and also by being very small, carrying little more than the DNA for a potential zygote.

This is the required answer.

Answer:

Active uptake (which I think you mean active transport) is important when the concentration gradient is against that of a certain substance, so it doesn't cross the membrane through diffusion or passive transport. It is sometimes necessary if a substance needs to move across a membrane but can't do so due to electrical charge or that there is a substance on the other side of the membrane preventing diffusion.

posledela

One of the possible effects of increased carbon dioxide concentration on our planet would be a warmer climate.

<h3>Greenhouse effect</h3>

Carbon dioxide is one of the numerous greenhouse gases that exist in nature. The gases are responsible for the warming of the planet.

Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases form a blanket layer in the atmosphere and trap some of the reflected solar radiations from the sun, preventing them from escaping back to space.

The more the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the more the solar radiation that is trapped and the warmer the earth gets.
