Muscle contraction occurs when the brain tells the body to move. The brain ... Muscle cramps are primarily caused by a lack of ATP in the body. ... The function of potassium inside the muscle cell is to repolarize the membrane.
Answer:
Unlike the queen bee, which has 32 chromosomes, drones have half the chromosomal charge (n= 16), so they are considered haploid.
Explanation:
The system of determination of the sex in the bees —like in other insects— is called haplodiploidy, and consists of which the females of the species possess complete charge of chromosomes, whereas the males only possess half. This is what happens with the queen bee with 32 chromosomes, while drones only have 16 chromosomes, so they are considered haploid.
Additionally, as a characteristic of haplodiploidy, males only proceed from female gametes, so they can only contribute gametes to produce females of the species.
The other options are not correct because:
- <em>Drones, with half of the chromosomal charge, </em><u><em>cannot be diploid</em></u><em>.
</em>
- <u><em>Monosomy and trisomy</em></u><em> are defects in the distribution of chromosomes during meiosis, which imply one chromosome less or one chromosome more in the normal chromosome charge respectively.</em>
Answer:
The ability of body systems to increase their function, given the need to adapt, is known as the <u>physiologic reserve.</u>
Explanation:
The ability of body systems to increase their function if the need to adapt arises is known as a physiological reserve. Frequently, this term is used to refer to the operating limits of a particular physiological system when under stress. When this stress exceeds the ability of a particular organ or system to compensate for it, organ failure occurs. Adaptation achieves its highest efficiency when changes are generated gradually/progressively rather than abruptly. In aging, this reserve is diminished and therefore the ability of the organs to adapt to stress is lower, that is, the ability to adapt is reduced in extreme ages.
