Hello there! :D

Firstly, I want to say that some of the written out answers look incomplete. I am going to try my best to answer this question and give you context so that you can choose the best answer choice! :)

There are two main systems within the boundaries our nervous system:

The CNS (central nervous system) and the PNS (peripheral nervous system).

Struturally,

the CNS constistues the brain and spinal chord,

the PNS consistutes your nerves and ganglion.

Functionally, the CNS recieves messages from the PNS and sends messages to the PNS. Think of the CNS as the control center, and the PNS as the reactor.

The PNS has two systems within it, the somatic nervous system, and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system senses things consciously percieved (ie. eye sight, pain, taste) and the autonomic nervous system senses things unconsciously percieved and controled (ie. stress, anxiety, etc). The point being, you cannot control when it happens or stop the function of it consciously.

The autonomic nervous system holds two main systems, which would be the parasympathetic system and the sympathetic system. The parasympathetic system helps maintain your circadian rythmn, replenish energy, and relax your body. The sympathetic system is known as your "fight or flight" system. This system can be triggered by test anxiety, unsafe situations, and in any case where your life or emotional well being is being threatened.

My best answer for this question, in my opinion, would be the autonomic nervous system, and the sympathetic system. The sympathetic system deals with fear (fight or flight) and is controlled by the autonomic nervous system).

I hope this helps you and you have a wonderful day,

Kai xx

7. A nerve signal from the brain arrives at the intersection of the nerve and muscle cells and releases acetylcholine from the neuron. This triggers chemical changes in the muscle cell involving ions, including Ca2+. Calcium triggers the thick filaments, made of myosin, to attach to the thin filaments, made of actin, in the muscle cell, and the myosin pulls the actin toward the center of the muscle cell. ATP causes the release of the actin fibers, allowing the muscle to relax and the process to begin again.

Substitution mutation
kicyunya [14]

Substitution mutation is when a single base pair in a strand of DNA is replaced. This can cause an early stop amino acid, or the protein could change slightly, or the protein could be unchanged completely due to there being multiple base pairs to make an amino acid.

Wild diploid wheat has seven chromosomes in its pollen. Discuss the major events that had to occur for tetraploid pasta wheat to
lianna [129]

Answer:

Tetraploid wheat evolved by allopolyploidization and subsequent diploid-like behavior due to cytological diploidization

Explanation:

Durum wheat (<em>Triticum durum</em>) or pasta wheat, is a tetraploid wheat species that has 28 chromosomes, i.e., seven pairs in each genome (2n = 4x = 28). Durum wheat was domesticated from wild emmer wheat, which originated by hybridization of two diploid wheat species with 14 chromosomes: <em>Triticum monococcum</em> (genome AA) and one wild progenitor (genome BB). <em>Triticum durum </em>is a typical example of evolution by hybridization and polyploidization, where the resultant tetraploid species has two complete sets of chromosomes. Allopolyploidization is one of the most common types of plant speciation. During meiosis, 28 chromosomes form 14 homologous chromosome pairs, because homologous chromosomes have developed 'restriction of pairing' (i.e., cytological diploidization). The restriction of pairing to fully homologous chromosomes ensures a correct meiotic behavior, which otherwise would be altered due to the high level of homology that still exists among chromosomes from different wheat progenitors.
