Monica [59]4 years ago
5 0

Genes contain the code for life. They contain your physical traits as well as your mental traits. Most people think about physical traits when they think of genes, like eye color, hair color, height, and skin color.

Genes are short sections of DNA. Genes carry information for particular characteristics, such as ear shape or eye colour. Different sets of genes carry information for different characteristics. There are many genes in a chromosome.

Besides the HCT, what other component of blood could be measured to give a better understanding of oxygen-carrying capacity? Exp
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The haemoglobin levels or counts can be used.

Explanation:

The oxygen carrying pigment of the blood is the heamoglobin (Hb).it is a protein molecule with for heam groups,Each of the latter can bind with  4 molecules of oxygen in a cooperate bonding.The more oxygen molecules binding by Hb,the more oxygen is carry in RBC.

Therefore if the number of Hb counts is reduced in an individual the volume of oxygen in the RBC of the subject should  reduced,Therefore, this should be a good indicator of the lower oxygen capacity of the blood of the individual.

Basically in a physiological female the Hb count/100ml of blood is 12-16g/ml,like wise 13-18g/100mI in a physiological  man.

Therefore fluctuations in the levels of these values below the set points  is an indicator of distortion in the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood.

The  amount of the blood in volume that contains RBC is called Hematocrit. Therefore for accuracy the HCT together with the Hb counts are good indicators of oxygen capacity of the blood.

1. What causes the autorhythmicity or action potentials of the nodal cells? a. A decrease in chloride permeability b. A gradual
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C

Explanation:

The rhythm of the heartbeat is controlled by the pacemaker of the heart called the sino-atrial node.

The SA node generates action potentials which trigger the contraction and relaxation of the atrium and ventricles. The membrane potential generation initiates by the depolarization of the cell membrane when the L type of Ca⁺² ions opens up and calcium ions enter the cell.

This depolarizes the cell until the potential threshold is reached which lies between the -40 and -30 mV.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

Why is the phloem in a leaf important to the roots of a plant?
suter [353]

Answer:

The correct answer is A it transport the food generated by photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Both xylem and phloem are the examples of vascular tissue present in plants.xylem helps in the transport of water from root to different parts of the plants.

    Whereas phloem helps in the transport of photo synthate from mesophyll tissue to sieve element companion cell complex.The transport of photosynthate to different non photo sythetic parts of a plant involves both symplastic and appoplastic pathway.

  Symplastic pathway is a passive process depending on the pressure gradient for the transport of solutes through the plasmodesmata which connect 2 adjacent plant cells.

  Appoplastic pathway is an active transport process occuring against the concentration gradient which does not involve plasmodesmata.
