Answer:

The correct answer is letter A: sympathetic nervous system.

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system is composed of the parasympathetic and the sympatetic systems. The parasympathetic is responsible for stimulates “rest-and-digest” activities, which occur during body rest, such as slowing heart rate and lowering blood pressure, adrenaline and blood sugar. The sympathetic responses for “fight-flight-or-freeze” situations. The sympathetic system acts directly (via impulses transmitted by the sympathetic nervous system) and indirectly (via catecholamines) on the cardiovascular system, leading to accelerate heartbeat. Thus, Harry’s physiological responses can be attributed to his sympathetic nervous system.

If the initiating codon of a mRNA became mutated, what would the effect be on the transcript?
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Translation will not occur.

Explanation:

The start codon is responsible for the initiation of translation in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. AUG is the start codon in both which code for methionine in eukaryotes and formyl methionine and prokaryotes.

Therefore if the starts codon becomes mutated than the tRNA would not able to recognize the initiation codon and no methionine would be added as the first amino acid so the translation process might not start and no protein forms. Then the ribosome scans further for the next start codon to start translation.

What movement of the thumb would be most affected by lesion of the median nerve in the cubital fossa
natka813 [3]

Answer:

flexion

Explanation:

The flexion is a movement of the body part that is described the bending of an elbow, or the clenching a hand into a fist, etc. where the angle between any segment of the body and its proximal segment decreases.

In simple words, the flexion is a movement which decreases the angle between two body parts when they are moved.

The flexion occurs in the sagittal plane.

Thus, the movement of a thumb that would be mostly affected by the lesion of median nerve in cubital fossa is the flexion movement.
