Where in the body would you find low oxygen levels causing vasoconstriction and high levels causing vasodilation?

The correct answer is the lungs. Usually, in the systemic organs such as the liver, kidneys, and the heart; hypoxia or low oxygen levels cause the blood vessels supplying them to vasodilate to increase flow of blood and prevent ischemia. Adequate oxygenation of systemic organs cause the blood supply to vasoconstrict to prevent pooling of oxygenated blood and shunt it to other organs that need the oxygen more.

However, in the lungs, the opposite is true because in the setting of hypoxia, the blood vessels of the lungs vasoconstrict as to shunt the blood to other parts of the lungs with adequate oxygenation for the blood to be adequately oxygenated. If there is adequate oxygen in the lungs, then blood vessels vasodilate to efficiently get the oxygen from the lungs.

<span>The answer for the question is the lungs.
Vasodilation means the smooth muscles in the blood vessel walls relax causing them to widen. The widening results in less vsacular resistance, thus the blood flow through the dilated vessel increases. Vasocontsriction on the other hand means the smooth muscles in the blood vessel walls contract causing them to narrow. The action results in blood flow through the vessels to be restricted. </span>

The original population of 200 was hit by a flash flood and 100 organisms were wiped out, leaving 16 homozygous recessive out of
Scrat [10]

Answer:

frequency of homozygous recessive = q² = 0.16

the predicted frequency of heterozygotes = 2pq = 2 × 0.4 × 0.6 = 0.48

the predicted frequency of homozygous dominant = p² = 0.6² = 0.36

Explanation:

Given that:

Number of recessive homozygous survivors = 16

Total number of population survivors = 100

Predicted frequency of homozygous recessive individuals (q²) = 16/100 = 0.16

Frequency of recessive allele (q) = √0.16 = 0.4

p + q = 1

∴ p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

Frequency of dominant allele (p) = 0.6

frequency of homozygous recessive = q² = 0.16

the predicted frequency of heterozygotes = 2pq = 2 × 0.4 × 0.6 = 0.48

the predicted frequency of homozygous dominant = p² = 0.6² = 0.36

p² + q² + 2pq = 1

0.16 + 0.36 + 0.48 = 1 (proved)

The reduction in population due to some event in the original gene is no longer in the surviving population. Since the population is now small, there is likely to be genetic drift.

The flash flood caused change in allele frequency leading to a micro evolution.

What benefit does an adult dog gain from being petted with long, smooth strokes?
kirza4 [7]
<span>The benefit does an adult dog gain from being petted with long, smooth strokes is petting will reduce the stress of the adult dog.Dog's life is similar to human's life even though human has so many problems when they see the child they will forget all the things.Likewise,dog also if they see the pets their stress will reduce surely.So D option is suitable for this question.</span>

Is fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase activated, inhibited, or unaffected in response to a glucagon signal?
Crazy boy [7]

Fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase is activated in response to a glucagon signal.

<h3>What is the purpose of Glucagon signals?</h3>
  • Glucagon signals specify that fuel molecules are required in the bloodstream.
  • So these signals activate Fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase (F1, 6BP) so as to increase the level of sugar and other fuels required for production of energy.
  • In the process of gluconeogenesis, new glucose molecules are synthesized from other non carbohydrate sources.
  • As glucose is required in the bloodstream so F-1, 6BP should be activated as it acts as a rate limiting enzyme in gluconeogenesis.
  • Gluconeogenesis occurs when the dietary intake of glucose is very low.
  • Glucose is required as a source of energy by almost all body cells so in case of less oxygen it is synthesized from other molecules like amino acids.
