Answer;

- Cardiac tissue

Explanation;

-Gap junctions are a specialized intercellular connection between a multitude of animal cell-types. They allow the exchange of ions, second messengers, and small metabolites between adjacent cells and are formed by two unrelated protein families, the pannexins and connexins.

-Gap junctions are particularly important in cardiac muscle: the signal to contract is passed efficiently through gap junctions, allowing the heart muscle cells to contract in unison.

The tissue to have cells with the greatest number of gap junctions is the cardiac tissue.

Cardiac tissue refers to the involuntary, striated tissue present in the heart. It is made up of individual heart muscle cells called the cardiomyocytes. They are joined together by intercalated discs which contain the gap junctions. Gap junctions are the specialized intercellular connections which link the cytoplasm of two cells. Gap junctions play a crucial role in regulating the velocity and safe impulse propagation in the heart. They are abundantly found in the cardiac tissue helping in direct transmission of the deplolarizing current from cell to cell across the chambers of the heart. The signals for contraction of the cardiac muscle is passed through these gap junctions.

An organ is a body structure composed of tissues that have related functions. The human body has levels of organization. <span>The cell is the basic structural and functional unit of a living organism which communicates with different and similar cells in order to work together and carry out all physiological processes. <span>Cells with similar structures are grouped together in a tissue to perform a shared function. A group of tissues forms an organ that together with other organs make organ system. The integrated activity of all the organ systems makes the whole organism.</span></span>

In a dihybrid cross of two heterozygous individuals, you expect a 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio in the offspring, but observe a ratio
almond37 [142]

Answer:

e. Epistatic interaction of the two genes

Explanation:

The 9:7 ratio is typical of the Duplicate Recessive Epistasis.

The expected phenotypic ratiio of the offsrping of a dihybrid cross is:

9 A_B_

3 A_bb

3 aaB_

1 aabb

In the Duplicate Recessive Epistasis, the A_bb, aaB_ and aabb individuals all have the same phenotype, making for the ratio 9:7. What those three genotypes have in common is that in all of them at least one of the two genes  is homozygous recessive (either <em>aa</em> or <em>bb</em>).

This usually happens one the products of genes A and B are enzymes of the same metabolic pathway.

Whenever both A and B are present, the pathway can produce the final product and a certain phenotype. However, if any of the dominant alleles is missing, the enzyme is not produced and therefore the final product of pathway is not produced, giving the other phenotype.
