Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The vestibular system is a part of the inner ear that provides the most important contribution to the sense of balance and coordinating movement with balance. This system is made up of two parts which are the three semicircular canals and the two otolith organs. The two otolith organs are the saccule and the utricle. The utricle is sensitive to changes with regards to horizontal movement and the saccule provides information about vertical acceleration. They are able to do this due to their orientation in the inner ear providing spatial orientation with regards to movement and balance. the three semi circular canals includes the horizontl, poterior and the superior semicircular canals. they provide sensory inputs.

Answer:

A. Three semicircular canals and two otolith organs

Explanation:

The vestibular system is the sensory system found in the inner ear. It helps in the coordination of balance and movement.

The vestibular system consists of two major parts : the semicircular canals which is responsible for rotational movements and are Three in number and the Otolith organ which is responsible for linear acceleration and are 2 in number.

The vestibular system sends signals mainly to the neural structures that control eye movements and to the muscles that keep an animal or human in their general control posture.

Jose and Karl were both exposed to the influenza virus at work. Jose had a flu shot made from killed influenza virus six weeks a
ipn [44]

The correct answer is Karl will get sick and Jose will not this time, but neither will get this influenza again since they both will have acquired active immunity to it.

In the case of Jose artificially active immunity has been induced due to vaccination. A vaccine instigates a primary response against the antigen without resulting in any signs of the disease. On the other hand, Karl will acquire active immunity naturally in future, as when an individual get exposed to a live pathogen, he or she develops the disease, and turns immune as an outcome of the primary immune response.

What happens in the G2 phase of the cell cycle?
balu736 [363]
The Best Answer :
 <span>"G2 phase is the third, final, and usually the shortest subphase during interphase within the cell cycle in which the cell undergoes a period of rapid growth to prepare for mitosis. It follows successful completion of DNA synthesis and chromosomal replication during the S phase, and occurs during a period of often four to five hours. This far into interphase the nucleus is well defined, bound by a nuclear envelope and contains at least one nucleolus. Although chromosomes have been replicated they cannot yet be distinguished individually because they are still in the form of loosely packed chromatin fibers. The G2 phase prepares the cell for mitosis (M phase) which is initiated by prophase. 
At the end of this gap phase is a control checkpoint (G2 checkpoint) to determine if the cell can proceed to enter M phase and divide. The G2 checkpoint prevents cells from entering mitosis with DNA damaged since the last division, providing an opportunity for DNA repair and stopping the proliferation of damaged cells. Because the G2 checkpoint helps to maintain genomic stability, it is an important focus in understanding the molecular causes of cancer."</span>
