In experiments where researchers suspect that a hormone may be responsible for a certain physiological effect, they may cut the

neurons leading to the organ where the effect being studied occurs. What is the purpose of cutting these neurons?
A) to make sure that the effect is not occurring through actions in the nervous system
B) to make sure that the organ being affected cannot function unless the researchers stimulate it with an external electrical probe
C) to impair the normal functions of the organ so that the hormonal effect can be more easily studied
D) to numb the organ so that it can be probed without inducing pain in the lab animal

Answer:

A) To make sure that the effect is not occuring through actions in the nervous system

Explanation:

In the above scenario, researchers actually studies the effect of hormone to the organ but they are in a situation to study the effect on organ are either hormone base or nervous system base (neurons). For this reason they will cut the neurons to study the effect of hormone on the organ.

So, to check the effect of hormone they should cut the neurons to make sure these effect are not due to actions of nervous system.

Answer:

A) to make sure that the effect is not occurring through actions in the nervous system

Explanation:

The endocrine system secretes hormones whose function is to connect the nervous system with different parts of the body. Moreover, neurotransmitters are hormone-like molecules that are secreted by both neural and non-neural cells and play analogous functions to the hormones secreted by the endocrine system

Why is it important to study grouse habitat selection and demography relative to human land use practices?
nadya68 [22]
Grouse species have evolved living in environments with little vertical structure and in areas with minimum human activity (from roads and cultivation to other more complex infrastructure). In the recent decades, there has been a significant increase in wind energy development in diverse areas and ecosystems. This development involves construction and placement of tall man-made structures, such as wind turbines and other infrastructure in habitats with high wind capacity. These habitats are often occupied by grouse species. This coexistence could severely endanger the species survivorship and reproductive ability. It is very important to study grouse habitat selection and demography, so that appropriate regulatory guidelines can be applied to wind energy development.

Consider that a certain gene is a maternal effect gene and that the allele for dark brown pigment is incompletely dominant to th
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

BB - Dark brown color - (1/4)

Bb - light tan (due to incomplete dominance) - (2/4 or 1/2)

bb - white color - (1/4)

Explanation:

Let the allele for dark brown pigment be represented by "B"

And the let allele for white (no pigment) be represented by "b"

Due to incomplete dominance, the phenotype of heterozygous species would be "light tan"

Genotype of heterozygous female - Bb

Genotype of heterozygous male - Bb

Bb * Bb

BB, Bb, Bb, bb

BB - Dark brown color - (1/4)

Bb - light tan (due to incomplete dominance) - (2/4 or 1/2)

bb - white color - (1/4)
