Answer:

lateral inhibition in the retina

Explanation:

Horizontal cells are in contact with photoreceptor cells through the synapse. One photoreceptor forms an excitatory synapse with horizontal cell in the adjacent regions of the retina while the horizontal cell forms an inhibitory synapse with another photoreceptor.  

Hence, as one photoreceptor activates the horizontal cell, the horizontal cell, in turn, inhibits the other photoreceptor cell and thereby reduces the quantity of neurotransmitter released at the bipolar cell. In this way, horizontal cells transmit lateral inhibitory stimulus to the photoreceptor which in turn improves the contrast at the edges of the object.

An obligate anaerobe is an organism that would die in an oxygenated environment. What could be assumed about these organisms?
makkiz [27]
The correct option is C.
Obligate anaerobes are micro organisms that are poisoned and killed when exposed to the normal atmospheric oxygen concentration. These organisms can only survive in the absences of oxygen, therefore, they carry out only anaerobic form of respiration in order to obtain the energy that they need. <span />

During gene expression, the dna-to-rna step is known as , while the rna-to-protein step is known as _____.
zlopas [31]

During the process of gene expression, the DNA to RNA step is known as transcription while the RNA to protein step is known as translation.

Gene expression is a process which involves the synthesis of a functional gene product by using the information present in the genes.

Transcription is a process which involves the synthesis of a RNA from the DNA. In eukaryotic cells, the transcription occurs in the nucleus whereas in prokaryotes the transcription occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Translation is the process by which the RNA is converted into a protein. The translation in prokaryotic cells occurs in the cytosol of the cell whereas in eukaryotic cells, the translation occurs in the ribosomes.

Why will the loss of photosynthetic organisms eventually cause a problem for animals ?
Sav [38]
The loss of photosynthetic organisms will eventually cause a problem for animals because photosynthetic organisms are autotrophs, the foundation of any energy pyramid and/or food chain, and when this foundation is gone there is a major loss of energy for all organisms that are consumers since 100% of the energy comes from producers.

Define sickle cell.<br><br>Who is a sickler?​
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that turns normal, round blood cells into misshaped cells that look like sickles or crescent moons. These sickled cells can get stuck in blood vessels, blocking blood flow and causing severe pain as well as damage to organs, muscles, and bones. Sickle cell disease is inherited, passed from parent to child. Children with sickle cell disease have two defective genes, one from each parent. A child born with sickle cell trait inherited one defective gene from one parent, and a normal gene from the other parent. These children don't have sickle cell disease but are carriers of the defective gene and may pass it on to their children.
