Answer:

The correct answer is - 11.25

Explanation:

Given:

Average weight gain between weeks 2 and 4 = 10 grams

The narrow-sense heritability of the weight gain between 2 and 4 weeks

= 25%

Then

Average weight gain would be expected among the offspring of parents whose average gain was 15 grams-

by the formula:

Average weight gain between weeks + (h) (Average weight gain between weeks - parents average gain )

= 10 + 0.25 (15-10)

 = 10 + 0.25 (5)

= 10 + 1.25

  = 11.25

Thus, the correct answer is - 11.25

How are checkpoints currently behaving in sally cancer cells
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Instable behavior.

Explanation:

The checkpoints currently behaving instable in sally cancer cells because mutants show genetic instability so this instability is the cause of cancer disease. Two checkpoints are sensitive to DNA damage, one occur before mitosis cell division and the other occur before replication of DNA. So damage occur in these two check points leads to instable behavior of cancer cells.

When THC binds to its receptor, how are the levels of cAMP affected in the post synaptic cells?
Nadya [2.5K]

Cannabinoid receptors, located throughout the body, are part of the Endocannabinoid system which is involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory.[1]

Cannabinoid receptors are of a class of cell membrane receptors under the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. As is typical of G protein-coupled receptors, the cannabinoid receptors contain seven transmembrane spanning domains.[5] Cannabinoid receptors are activated by three major groups of ligands: endocannabinoids, produced by the mammillary body; plant cannabinoids (such as Cannabidiol, produced by the cannabis plant); and synthetic cannabinoids (such as HU-210). All of the endocannabinoids and plant cannabinoids are lipophilic, such as fat soluble compounds.
