The correct answer is: decrease motility in the intestine, dilate bronchioles in lungs, dilate pupils, secrete epinephrine, and speed up heartbeat.

Being chased by a coyote constitutes a highly stressful and threatening situation for the rabbit. This means that the rabbit's physiology will adapt and the body will get prepared for action, that is to run and avoid the coyote.
This response is called an acute stress response (also called fight or flight response) and includes a hormonal cascade. The autonomic nervous system is responsible for the regulation of this response.

All of the changes in the sympathetic nervous system are an effort to boost the body with the necessary energy to run as fast as possible. Some of these adaptations include the dilation the lungs' bronchioles and the speeding up of the heartbeat, in order to accelerate the lung and heart action. Also, the motility of the intestine is decreased to a point where digestion nearly stops, in order for the blood flow to support the muscular action. Finally, one part of the adrenal glands triggers the secretion catecholamines, meaning the norepinephrine and epinephrine hormones.

1. Explain how the traits of an organism are related to the genes in DNA.
viktelen [127]

Genes in DNA or responsible for the traits an organism has. This is caused by Dominant and Recessive Traits. Remember that Genotypes are the genetic letters such as RR, Rr, and rr. Phenotype is physical traits.

Dominant Traits are more likely or always show in the offspring. The Dominant Genotype uses Capital letters such as RR.

Recessive Traits are less likely to show up. Their Genotype use lower case such as rr. Now genotypes of Rr have one dominant trait and one recessive trait. If the dominant trait was black fur and the recessive white fur, the offspring will be black fur because dominant traits overpower the other.

To understand how to know if an organism will have Dominant or Recessive Genes, you have to use something called a Punnet Square. Lets imagine 2 parents both have the genotype Rr. R is Black fur and r is white fur. As you can see from the chart, 3 of 4 boxes have Rr and 1 rr. Since there is a Dominant Trait with a Recessive, they will show a Dominant Phenotype, or Black fur. This has 3/4 chance and a 1/4 chance for white fur in the offspring.
