uit flies are commonly used in genetic investigations that focus on traits passed from parents to offspring over several generat

ions. What can you infer is the reason fruit flies are the most commonly used organism for this type of investigation?

Fruit flies have 75 percent of genes that carry diseases to humans. scientists use them in genetic studies for this reason and to learn how humans genetically pass on common genetic traits to their offspring.

The ABO blood type in humans
NeX [460]

Answer:

ABO blood group system, the classification of human blood based on the inherited properties of red blood cells (erythrocytes) as determined by the presence or absence of the antigens A and B, which are carried on the surface of the red cells. Persons may thus have type A, type B, type O, or type AB blood.

Look at the two images of cells.
BartSMP [9]

Explanation:

A)Image A represents a peptide hormone that interacts with a receptor, and image B represents a steroid hormone that interacts with the cell’s DNA

The endocrine system involves chemical signalling via the secretion of molecules called hormones into extracellular fluid.

  • Steroid hormones are lipophilic, and readily diffuse across cell membranes. They bind to receptors in the interior of the cell to form a complex which regulates gene expression.
  • Peptide hormones however,are hydrophilic, and thus cannot readily diffuse across the membrane. They remain outside the cell, binding to receptors which then activate secondary messenger signalling and a subsequent cellular response.

Further Explanation:

Hormones bind to chemical receptors in order to cause specific changes in target cells, these lead to changes in the body's internal environment called homeostasis. It includes the thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary, pineal and adrenal glands along with other regions.

The bone, adipose tissue, heart, pancreas and liver are a few of the regions of the body which show endocrine function. The brain, or control center functions to receive and process the information from the receptor. Effectors receive the control center's command and elicits a response in the form of a feedback loop, that may oppose or enhance the stimulus.

Cells in a multicellular organism become specialized for particular tasks and communicate with one another in order to maintain homeostasis. Within the human body these are known as hormone cascades, where several complex steps occur- the tissues signal to one another with the use of hormones released by the endocrine system. The regulation (increase and decrease) of these secretions is achieved by negative feedback loops, where the release of certain substances during a cascade in turn halts the secretion of hormones at earlier stages.

What are the characteristics of static electricity?<br><br><br><br><br> PLZZZZ HELPP!!
SashulF [63]

Explanation:

Static electricity is a form of electrical energy which is produced by the imbalance of positive and negative charge.

The characteristics of static electricity are:

1. The charges do not move and therefore called static in nature.

2. The charges of static electricity possess less energy, therefore, remain for a small period.

3. Static electricity is build up mostly on non- humid dry days.

4. The charge of static electricity does not generate electric fields but they are constant.

5. Due to a constant electric field, no magnetic field is generated.

6. The static electricity can be observed in the lightning, Van-de graff generator and xerox machines.
