The patellar reflex or knee(j)erk reflex doesn't happen when your leg is straight because the tendon is relaxed. In order for the reflex to be elicited, the tendon must be flexed or stretched.

I need help, I don't understand this, so please try to explain?
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Yeah, so basically the image is showing restriction enzymes. The job of restriction enzymes is mainly involved in research when scientists use them for cloning human genes. But that's besides the point...

Main thing you have to understand is that restriction enzymes cut at very specific places along DNA sequences. If you look at the restriction enzyme Rsa 1, you can notice that it cuts only between a thymine nucleotide base and an adenine nucleotide base. Next, if ya look at Sty 1 (be careful b/c W can represent adenine or thymine), it cuts only between two directly adjacent cytosine nucleotide bases!

SO.... if we go to Rsa 1, we can find the answers by dividing up the sequences between the pattern we saw in the gray box. It only cuts between adenine and thymine bases. Based on that, we can find the number of fragments created, and the segment lengths (basically just like how many nucleotide bases are in each strand). Hope ya found this helpful!

How long has the water on earth been around?
SSSSS [86.1K]
The study pushes back the clock on the origin of Earth's water by hundreds of millions of years, to around 4.6 billion years ago, when all the worlds of the inner solar system were still forming. Scientists had suspected that our planet formed dry, with high-energy impacts creating a molten surface on the infant Earth.

Answer: 4.6 billion years.
