What is a reflex arc? what are the roles of the afferent and efferent nerves in this arc?

Biology

Damm [24]3 years ago

Answer:

The sensory input (afferent) of the reflex is from two structures in the muscle called spindles and Golgi tendon organs. The output (efferent) is the alpha motor neuron that contracts (tightens) the muscle. (The muscle fibers are sometimes referred to as extrafusal fibers.)

Explanation:

A reflex arc is a neural pathway that controls a reflex. In vertebrates, most sensory neurons do not pass directly into the brain, but synapse in the spinal cord.

Afferent nerve fibers carry signals from the somatic receptors to the posterior horn of the spinal cord or to the brainstem.

Dogs are often purposely bred to assure certain desirable traits. What is this type of selective breeding?
siniylev [52]

Artificial selection is the type of selective breeding.

Selective breeding is process of breeding parents with distinct characteristics to produce offspring with more desirable characteristics.

Most of the time the breed of dogs were formerly selected for particular purposes, such as hunting or guarding which needs strong physical endurance. Hence, Selective breeding is evolved by human selection. For example racehorses, having particular traits are desirable in different breeds of dogs that compete in dog shows. Artificial selection, is selective breeding that is imposed by an selective process, in order to get the phenotype of desirable features.

If you look through a microscope and see a cell with chromosomes lined up two by two, what stage of cellular reproduction must y
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

2. meiosis I only

Explanation:

During the zygotene stage of prophase-I of meiosis-I, homologous chromosomes synapse and are paired up. These paired homologous chromosomes are called bivalents. These paired homologous chromosomes align themselves at the equatorial plate of the cell during metaphase-I. Therefore, when observed through a microscope, cells are shown lined up two by two. During meiosis-II and mitosis, individual chromosomes with two sister chromatids are aligned at the cell's equator in metaphase.

A)Exons 2 and 3 must have the same number of nucleotides. B)Exons 2 and 3 must contain an integral number of codons (that is, th
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Statement C is the only one that is necessarily true for exons 2 and 3. It is also true for exons 7 and 8. While statements A and B could be true, they don’thave to be. Because the protein sequence is the same in segments of the mRNA that correspond to exons 1 and 10, neither choice of alternative exons (2 versus 3, or 7 versus 8) can alter the reading frame. To maintain the normal reading frame—whatever that is—the alternative exons must have a number of nucleotides that when divided by 3 (the number of nucleotides in a codon) give the same remainder. Since the sequence of the a-tropomyosin gene is known, it is possible to check to see the actual state of affairs. Exons 2 and 3 both contain the same number of nucleotides, 126, which is divisible by 3 with no remainder.
