Ed was in a bicycle accident, he had no sensations in his injured leg. He can move the limb normally. Based on the functional cl
____ [38]
There are two types of neurons in our legs: motor neuron and sensory neuron. These send and receive messages to and from each other and the brain.  

After Ed's accident, he can't move his injured leg since the motor neuron is dysfunctional. The sensory neuron is functional so he can feel his limbs but can't move them since when the sensory neuron sends a message to the motor neuron, it isn't able to deliver the message to the brain to make the leg move. This is why he can still feel his limbs but is not able to move them.

Aneli [31]

Answer: a. Genetic recombination (crossing over)

b. Can also be explained in terms of crossing over

c. Non disjunction of homologous chromosomes in meiosis 1

Explanation:

The process that allows for the transfer of both the paternal and maternal materials to is the crossing over process that takes at meiosis 1 changing them to secondary spermatocytes. While they are still primary spermatocytes, they are still diploid cells having both the maternal and paternal chromosomes. But since the spermatozoon is an haploid cell, it is able to retail some of both parents chromosome by the crossing over event which takes place between homologous paternal and maternal chromosomes allowing them to exchange materials. Thus the chromosomal contents of the primary spermatocyte differs from that of the spermatozoon.

C. This can occur as a result of the one of the homologous chromosome pair refusing to separate at meiosis 1 with one gamete containing 4 chromosomes/8 sister chromatids and the second having 2 chromosomes/4 sister chromatids.

A person has too much calcium ion in their blood what gland is most likely working correctly answers
jeka94

The parathyroid glands is group of tiny glands that is located in the neck which controls the calcium levels of the body. This gland produces parathyroid hormone (PTH). This hormone raises the blood calcium level by breaking down the bone causing the release of calcium. It also increases the ability of the body to absorb calcium from the food that we eat and it increases the ability of the kidney to hold on to calcium that would be lost in the urine later on.

The regulation of calcium levels in the body is crucial for the heart, nervous system, kidneys and bones to function normally.

Therefore, the answer is parathyroid glands.
