Most human traits are determined by multiple pairs of genes, many with alternate codes, accounting for some dissimilar forms tha

t occur with certain genetic disorders. What type of inheritance involves multiple genes at different loci, with each gene exerting a small additive effect in determining a trait?

Answer:

Polygenetic inheritance

Explanation

Polygenetic inheritance also called Multifactorial inheritance it occurs when a single characteristic is controlled by more than two genes .

An example is the human skin pigmentation which is determined by the amount of melanin it contains.

Melanin production involves at least four genes. A combination of of melanin producing allele determines the degree of pigmentation.

This shows each gene has exerted a small addictive effect in determining the trait.

Zielflug [23.3K]

The brain code or the neural code, which is sometimes also referred as the mind code is a interpretation of the neural activity taking place in our body. It refers to the interpretation of the activity in the brain (cerebral cortex) as data structure. It represents the mental activity as a step by step data flow in the different structures from the point of generation of the impulses to the actual sensation.  

In this case, the neural coding of the optical signals is given, hence, it is a type of brain code or neural code.

Squamous epithelium, sperm cells, smooth muscle, or human red blood cells:
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

1. sperm cells: cell has a flagellum for movement

2. smooth muscle: cells have an elongated shape (tapered at each end)

3. Squamous epithelium: cells are close together

4. Human red blood cells: cells are circular

5. Squamous epithelium cells are thin and flat, with irregular borders

6. Human red blood cells: cells are anucleate (without a nucleus)

7. smooth muscle: longest cell

Explanation:

  • <em>Sperm cells</em>: Active and morphologically specialized cells. They characterize as having an elliptic head mostly occupied by the nucleus, and a tail of about 55 micrometers that moves impulsed by a motor dynein protein that uses ATP energy.
  • Smooth muscle cells: Fusiform cells. Long and tapered at the extremes. Located in organs and viscera, and in vessel walls, where involuntary maintained slow contractions are needed. Although they are the longest cells, their length depends on the organ where they are located. They might reach up to 500 microns.
  • Squamous epithelium cells: The wide and length of the cells supere their height. Some of them suffer a process of keratinization from being exposed to dehydration and touch.  
  • Red blood cells: Red blood cells or erythrocytes are biconcave disks-shaped, with no nucleus, and very small. These are flexible cells that might move along in the smallest capillaries. Hemoglobin provides the typical red color. The red blood cell size and number vary among species.
