Which layer of the alimentary canal is responsible for segmentation and peristalsis?

Biology

lubasha [3.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

B) muscularis externa

Explanation:

Muscularis externa is a muscle layer of gastrointestinal tract (GI)that consists of an inner circular muscular layer and a longitudinal outer muscular layer.

Peristalsis is one-way contraction (followed by relaxation) of muscles found in GI which moves the caudal direction. Peristalsis involves rhythmic contractions of the longitudinal muscles in the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly in the eosophagus.

Segmentation is also process of muscular  contractions  in the GI.  Segmentation involves contractions of the circular muscles in the digestive tract and its function is to move chyme in both directions.

In a unique species of plants, flowers may be yellow, blue, red, or mauve. All colors may be true-breeding. If plants with blue
Zolol [24]

Answer:

F1) 100% bbRr, red flowered plants.

Explanation:

<u>Available data:</u>

  • flowers may be yellow, blue, red, or mauve
  • colors may be true-breeding
  • the cross of blue-flowered plants with red-flowered plants, produce plants that have yellow flowers
  • F2 generation: 9/16 yellow, 3/16 blue, 3/16 red, and 1/16 mauve.

Knowing that the phenotypic ratio is 9:3:3:1, we can assume that there are two genes involved in the flower color expression. We can name these genes B and R with a dominant and a recessive allele each (B, b and R, r respectively).

According to the first cross, we might establish the following genotypes:

1st Cross: blue-flowered plant     x     red-flowered plant

Parentals)         BBrr                     x                bbRR

Gametes)     Br, Br, Br, Br                         bR, bR, bR, bR

F1) 100% BbRr, yellow plants

Parentals)   BbRr     x     BbRr

Gametes) BR, Br, bR, br

                BR, Br, bR, br

Punnett square)     BR       Br        bR          br

                  BR     BBRR    BBRr   BbRR     BbRr

                  Br      BBRr     BBrr     BbRr      Bbrr

                  bR     BbRR    BbRr    bbRR      bbRr                    

                  br      BbRr     Bbrr      bbRr      bbrr

F2)  9/16 yellow ---> 1/16 BBRR + 2/16 BBRr + 4/16 BbRr + 2/16 BbRR  

       3/16 blue ------> 1/16 BBrr + 2/16 Bbrr

       3/16 red---------> 1/16 bbRR + 2/16 bbRr

       1/16 mauve ----> 1/16 bbrr    

So,

  • Yellow-flowered plants: BBRR, BBRr, BbRR, BbRr
  • Red-flowered plants: bbRR, bbRr
  • Blue-flowered plants: BBrr, Bbrr
  • Mauve-flowered plants: bbrr

According to these genotypes, the second cross would be like following,

2nd Cross: true-breeding red-flowered plants with true-breeding mauve flowered plants.                

Parentals)          bbRR       x        bbrr

Phenotype)       Red                   Mauve

Gametes)   bR, bR, bR, bR      br, br, br, br

Punnett square)    bR       bR        bR        bR                    

                    br    bbRr     bbRr    bbRr     bbRr

                    br    bbRr     bbRr    bbRr     bbRr

                    br    bbRr     bbRr    bbRr     bbRr

                    br    bbRr     bbRr    bbRr     bbRr

F1) 100% bbRr, red flowered plants.

State the major processes of the urinary system and describe the activity of each process.
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

The urinary system removes excess substances and waste products from the metabolism from the body through the urine, contributing to the maintenance of homeostasis, the chemical composition of the internal environment. Urine is produced in the kidneys, passes through the ureters to the bladder, where it is stored and is released into the exterior through the urethra.

The kidneys perform the main work of the urinary system comparing with the other parts of the system, acting primarily as passageways and storage areas. With the filtration of blood and the formation of urine, the kidneys contribute to homeostasis of body fluids in a number of ways, such as: Regulation of the ionic composition of blood; Maintenance of blood osmolarity; Regulation of blood volume; Blood pressure regulation; PH regulation of blood; Hormone release; Regulation of blood glucose level; Waste excretion and toxic substances.

Ureters - They are two tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. The ureters are capable of performing rhythmic contractions called peristalsis. Urine moves along the ureters in response to gravity and peristalsis.

Bladder - The urinary bladder acts as a temporary reservoir for urine storage. It is a hollow, elastic muscular organ that in men is directly anterior to the rectum and in women, is located in front of the vagina and below the uterus.

Urethra - is a tube that conducts urine from the bladder to the outside, being lined with mucosa that contains a large amount of mucus-secreting glands. The urethra opens outwards through the outer ostium of the urethra.
