Answer:

a) aaBb

b) Dimples and short eyelashes

c) 50%

d) 25%

Explanation:

Let the gene for dimples be A

Let the gene for eyelashes be B

a) Woman has no dimples (aa) and is heterozygous for long eyelashes (Bb) so her genotype : aaBb

b) Man is heterozygous for dimples (Aa) so he will have dimples and it is already given that he has short eyelashes (bb)

When aaBb X Aabb :

        aB         ab

Ab  AaBb    Aabb

ab   aaBb    aabb

c) Out of the four possible combinations, aaBb and aabb will be born without dimples so this couple has 50% chance to produce a child without dimples.

d) Only aabb will be born without dimples and without long eyelashes so the couple has 25% chance to produce a child without dimples and without long eyelashes.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
<span>siRNA guides the RISC that cleaves the target mRNA. siRNA binds to its target mRNA due to its complementarity.</span> <span>Small interfering RNA (siRNA) has a function in RNA interference, which means it causes gene silencing through repression of transcription. siRNA together with some proteins (like Argonaute) form the RISC. When siRNA recognize the target mRNA it causes degradation of mRNA and thus silencing the gene that encodes that mRNA.</span>

The adrenal medulla secretes epinephrine during sympathetic stimulation. Why epinephrine would increase the sympathetic response
user100 [1]

Answer: Because epinephrine activates the fight or flight response, related to the sympathethic response in the body.

Explanation:

The function of the Autonomic Nervous System is the regulation of the system cardiovascular, digestion, respiration, body temperature, metabolism, exocrine glands, and therefore keep the internal environment constant (homeostasis). While sympathetic activity increases in stress, the activity parasympathetic predominates during rest and satiety. The adrenal medulla originates from the neural crest and is composed of neuroendocrine specialized cells and are responsible for the production of catecholamines.

Catecholamines are dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline (epinephrine and norepinephrine). Epinephrine prepares muscles, lungs, and heart for more intense activity, in situations of stress. It promotes the increase in the force of contraction in the muscles and increases in the heart rate. It also leads to increased blood pressure and bronchodilation, for greater availability of O2.
