Biology

san4es73 [151]3 years ago
7 0

Each person carries 23 pairs of  chromosomes in every cell that makes up their body, with the exception of gametes, which contain 23 SINGLE chromosomes. So when a sperm and egg meet, they then have 23 pairs. In the process of meiosis 'crossing-over' occurs, which means that the chromosomes get "shuffled". This means that the child can receive random traits not only from the parents, but also the grandparents. so there is about  2⁴⁶ possible pairings, excluding the risk for things such as Down-Syndrome

Why do individuals who suffer from brainstem injuries have difficulty with their autonomic functions?
scoundrel [369]

Answer: The brainstem controls autonomic functions through cranial nerves arising from it, along with the medulla oblongata, therefore an injury to the area can cause loss of these functions.

Explanation:

The brainstem comprises of the midbrain, and the pons and medulla of the hindbrain. It is in direct continuation with the spinal cord. Ten cranial nerves arise from this part, and a number of tracts pass through this region. The medulla of the brainstem are particularly involved in maintaining heart rate, breathing and blood pressure. In case of a brainstem injury, the cranial nerves responsible for autonomic functions could get damaged leading to dysfunction and/or the areas of medulla consisting of centres controlling heart rate, blood pressure or other autonomic functions, if damaged could cause difficulties.

What is the energy requirement for a for cellular respiration
viktelen [127]
<span>ATP usually releases energy by breaking down the weak phosphate cell present.  The energy released due to the breaking down of the phosphate cell is then utilized. The ATP is converted to ADP. Whenever a cell feels the necessity for energy it releases a phosphate to gather the energy. It is an automatic and ongoing process. The weak bond between the second and the third phosphate is always targeted for turning ATP to ADP. This is the reason ATP is considered the main energy currency for the cell.<span>
