Answer:

Epinephrine <em>(adrenaline)</em>

Explanation:

Epinephrine also known as adrenaline, is secreted by the adrenal gland in the medulla oblongata portion of the (hind brain).  Epinephrine is usually released when the body needs to raise the glucose levels of the blood, and increase the cardiac output of the heart. It usually occurs when the body senses that it is being threatened. It prepares itself to either flee the scene, or to stand and fight.

Most times, when epinephrine is secreted, the survival instincts are activated, and pain is masked. Pete's body was simply preparing itself  to take swift and quick action to protect itself against the bear.

Answer:

Epinephrine

Explanation:

Epinephrine, which is also referred to as adrenaline, is the active sympathetic hormone that is secreted by the medulla of the adrenal glands into the bloodstream to initiate the body’s fight-or-flight response to stress or threat, causing increased blood pressure, sugar metabolism, heart rate, breathe rate, muscle strength as well as sweat. Pete's sighting of a bear as a threat stimulates the sympathetic nervous system to initiate the secretion of epinephrine which brings about the fight-or-flight response of the body to increase alertness of the body.

If the zoom knob on a dissecting scope is set to 1.2 what is the total magnification of objects viewed of objects viewed through
TEA [102]

Total magnification of objects is 12x.

Dissecting microscopes are microscopes with only one set of lenses so they have less magnification than a compound microscope.

The eyepiece, or ocular lens of microscope, usually has a magnification of 10x. The numbers on magnification knob range from about 0.7 to 3. So, when you want to calculate the total magnification multiply the magnification on the eyepiece with the number on the magnification knob.

How does the function of melanin explain not only the variety of skin colors but susceptibility to skin cancer?
Mice21 [21]
<span>The lack of melanin tends to correlate with a lighter skin color. However, it also correlates with a higher susceptibility to receiving a sunburn. The more often a person burns, the more likely it is that a person will be susceptible to skin cancers later on in life.</span>

1. What type of information does a pedigree contain?
nevsk [136]
Q1. Pedigree is the recorded lineage of a family. A pedigree chart is actually a diagram showing an appearance and occurrence of phenotypes in several generations. It is used to find a probability of a child inheriting a particular trait or to discover is the trait autosomal or sex-related.

Q2. The presence of a trait in a pedigree chart is shown as filled-in figure. If a square or a circle in the pedigree chart are white (empty), then a person does not have a particular trait. If a figure is filled in (usually black), then a person has a trait. If a figure is half-filled in (e.g. it is half black half white), then a person is only a carrier of a trait but the trait is not expressed.

Q3. In the pedigree charts, squares present males and circles present females. If a female is healthy, the circle is empty (white). If a female is affected with a trait, the circle is filled in (usually black). Similarly, if a male is healthy, the square is empty. If a male is affected with a trait, the square is filled in.

Q4. The presence of dimples is a dominant trait. <span>In dominant traits, traits do not skip generations, unlike recessive traits. From the pedigree, the disorder did not skip any generations. This suggests that the disorder is dominant. If it was recessive, in some generation the trait would not be expressed.

Q5. If a pedigree chart of a family is known, then the occurrence and appearance of a trait can be predicted. For example, if it is known whether a disease is dominant, recessive, or sex-linked, then a possibility of getting a child with a disease can be easily calculated.</span>
