Which part of the brain plays a major role in homeostasis by regulating such processes as heart rate and breathing through the a

utonomic nervous system?

Explanation:

The hypothalamus plays a major role in the autonomic nervous system.

Further Explanation:

The nervous system is subdivided into; the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, within the vertebral column; and the peripheral nervous system, which includes nerves that branch into the rest of the body from the brain and spinal cord. Nervous tissue responds to electrical impulses, allowing for communication between different regions of the body. The PNS connects to muscles and other organs and tissues like glands in the endocrine system. Together the nervous system, the PNS plays a role in the dissemination of information throughout the body and mediates our response to stimuli.

  • Neurons have unique structures which aid in facilitating communication by sending and receiving electrical signals very efficient. There are several neuron types which include sensory motor and into neurons which bridge the two.
  • Non-neuronal glial cells  mediate homeostasis within the CNS, maintaining the chemical environment around the neurons.

The peripheral nervous system is further divided into the somatic nervous system responsible for carrying out sensory and motor information between the peripheral nervous system- including sensory organs like the eyes; and central nervous system; and the autonomic nervous system (ANS) which regulates involuntary bodily functions like heartbeat, breathing and blood flow. The ANS is mainly acts unconsciously and affects smooth muscle and internal organs. It is related to homeostasis- where the body maintains a constant internal balance in pH, temperature, blood pressure etc.

The hypothalamus secretes stimulating or inhibiting hormones that in turn prevent or escalate the release of hormones for the pituitary gland. Then, these hormones prevent or escalate the release of hormones from other endocrine tissues (e.g., thyroid, parathyroid, pancreas, gonads).

Fill in the Punnett square below to visualize the offspring of a cystic fibrosis carrier and a person who doesn't have cystic fi
valkas [14]

Answer:

50% of their children are likely to be carriers of cystic fibrosis

Explanation:

Since the normal allele "F" will be the dominant allele while the mutated CFR allele "f" will be the recessive allele, <u>the gene (pair of alleles) of the person that is a CFR carrier will be "Ff" while that of the normal person who isn't a carrier will be "FF"</u>. The attachment shows the crossing between the two parents. From the illustration in the attachment, for every 4 children given birth to, 2 of them will likely be normal, "FF", (not a carrier and doesn't have cystic fibrosis) while 2 others will likely be carriers of cystic fibrosis (Ff). Hence, 50% of their children are likely to be carriers of cystic fibrosis.

suppose that individuals in a population of beetles differ in the extent of a dark pigment in their coloration. dark-colored bee
sesenic [268]

The coloration of the beetles most likely remains constant, despite differential predation, when it is strictly due to ENVIRONMENTAL factors. Phenotypic traits can be influenced by genes or the environment.

The expression of a given characteristic (i.e., a phenotypic trait) in an individual may be associated with genetic and environmental factors, as well as with the interaction between genetic and environmental factors.

Different types of environmental inputs (e.g., diet, temperature range, oxygen, humidity, light, etc) can influence a given phenotype.

A heritability value near zero (0) indicates that almost all of the phenotypic variability for a given trait is caused by environmental factors.

18. Refer to Models 1 and 2 to complete the chart below. Write yes or no in the box for cach cell.
Ostrovityanka [42]

The most primitive cells are prokaryotic. They are simple, with no organelles and no nucleus. Animal and plant cells are eukaryotic, but they express some differences such as the cell wall, chloroplasts, or centrioles.

---------------------------------------------

<u>BACTERIA CELLS</u>

  • Bacteria are prokaryotic cells.

  • Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus, nucleolus, and organelles.

  • They only present plasmids, ribosomes, and genetic material in their cytoplasm.

  • DNA not surrounded by membrane

  • They have a cell wall that protects the cell and a cell membrane that surrounds the cytoplasm. Some of them can also present a capsule.

  • Some of them have flagellum.

  • These organisms are capable of inhabiting places with e<em>xtreme temperature, salinity, acidity, or pH, among others. </em>

<u>ANIMAL </u><u>AND </u><u>PLANT CELLS</u>

  • Both the animal and plant cells are eukaryotic.

  • They carry their genetic material in the nucleus and mitochondria.

  • Organelles are located in the cytosol, and both of them are surrounded by a protector cell membrane.  

However, they have some differences:

⇒Cell wall : <em>A </em><em>rigid structure</em><em> that provides </em><em>support </em><em>and </em><em>protection</em><em>.</em>

• Animal cells do not have a cell wall. They are only surrounded by the cell membrane, which is flexible so they can adopt different shapes.

• Plant cells have a wall, so their shape is usually prismatic and regular. The cell wall is composed mainly of cellulose.

⇒ Chloroplast: these are organelles that accumulate chlorophyll.

• Animal cells do not have chloroplasts because they do not photosynthesize.

• Plant cells have chloroplasts, and they are in charge of the photosynthesis process that allows plants to release oxygen. These organelles use solar light as the source of energy.

⇒ Vacuoles:  

• Animal cells have many and small vacuoles whose function is to store water, ions, and waste intracellular substances.  

• Plant cells have a unique big-sized vacuole that might occupy almost 90% of the cell. Their principal function is to store water and keep the turgidity. When the vacuole gets empty, the plant loses rigidity.

⇒ Other differences are:

  • The animal cell has centrioles, while the vegetable cell does not.  
  • Plasmodium, chromoplasts, and glyoxysomes are present in the vegetable cell but not in the animal cell.
