According to this study, it may have had to do with the deactivation (technically known as “pseudogenization”) of an umami taste receptor gene. Umami is the taste that makes things like meat, soy sauce, and mushrooms extra yummy. Apparently, at some point in panda evolution, the umami receptor became non-functional. Based on how much the gene has changed, the authors calculate that this happened around the same time that pandas started eating bamboo. Whether it’s cause or effect is unclear, although the authors think the switch to bamboo may have happened before the gene was lost. Regardless, the loss of the gene reinforced the panda’s vegetarian diet because it made meat less delicious to the bears.

Describe the neural and hormonal mechanisms that work to maintain blood pressure after significant (hemorrhaging) blood loss ass
Bad White [126]

Autoregulatory neural and endocrine mechanisms activate after blood loss to compensate for the loss and restore homeostasis.

Neural mechanisms involve blood pressure and blood chemistry. Cardiac centers and vasomotor centers may increase the blood flow and cardiac output (sympathetic) or decrease the blood flow and cardiac output (parasympathetic). Peripheral vessels are also constricted and nor epinephrine decreases flow in the arteries and decreases the flow in the veins.

Endocrine control acts in the renal and adrenal organs, the brain and heart. RBCs, renin/angiotensiogen/aldosterone, catecholamines, antidiretic hormone, atrial natriuretic hormone regulate blood volume and blood pressure by keeping the fluids in the cardiovascular system. It also initiates vasoconstrictors or vasodilators.

The wild-type color of horned beetles is black, although other colors are known. A black horned beetle from a pure-breeding stra
Kisachek [45]

One hypothesis that explains the result is : A) Two genes are involved with  12:3:1  epistasis, such that A_B_ and A_bb are black, aaB_ is brown,and aabb is green.

Explanation:

  • This is a case of Dominant Epistasis.
  • When two genes are involved and presence of dominant allele of one gene masks the effect of either allele of the second gene then the epistasis is termed as dominant epistasis.
  • In the given case black :brown: green ratio is approximately equal to  12:3:1.
  • Here presence of a dominant A allele that is responsible for the black colour masks the effect of either allele of B. Therefore A_B_ and A_bb produces black beetles
  • Again , absence of dominant A allows B to express itself and Brown beetles are produced thus aaB_ is brown.
  • When both the genes are present as recessive alleles, neither brown nor black colour is expressed and the beetles are green.Thus, aabb are green.

Carbon dating is a process that estimates the age of anything. However, there are flaws that exist. It may not be a precise number, but it does gives a good estimation.
