In an inherited form of high cholesterol, rr individuals have a blood cholesterol level greater than 500 mg/dL, Rr individuals a

Answer:

a. Codominant

Explanation:

The R allele is codominant to the r allele.

In codominance, the two alleles that make up a trait/gene exert equal effects on each other and therefore contribute equally to the phenotypic expression of the trait.

<em>r in homozygous state conditions a blood cholesterol level that is greater than 500 mg/dl.</em>

<em>R in homozygous state conditions a blood cholesterol level that is less than 200 mg/dl.</em>

<em>Heterozygous condition, Rr conditions a blood cholesterol level near 300 mg/dl.</em>

Hence, r and R exerted equal effects on each other which neither being dominant nor recessive. A clear-cut case of codominance.

<em>The correct option is a.</em>

Why calcium is necessary for muscle function and neural synaptic activity.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Ch.5: Synaptic Activity

<span>Introduction<span>Otto Loewi studied the heart of the frog, which-like our own hearts- is supplied by two different peripheral nerves. One, the sympathetic nerve, excites the heart and makes it beat more rapidly; the other , the vagus, shows the heart. The problem was to discover the mechanism by which the effects of nerve impulses in either of these nerves are communicated to the heart muscle. Many believed that the electrical nerve impulse spread from the nerve to the muscle as an electrical wave; Loewi thought otherwise.Loewi tested two isolated frog hearts, one with the sympathetic and vagus nerves intact, the other with the nerves removed. A small tube containing salt water was placed in the heart with the nerves attached. When he stimulated the vagus nerve, the heartbeat slowed, as expected. Then he took salt solution that had been in the stimulated heart and placed it inside the heart without nerves. It too immediately slowed- exactly as if its own (missing) vagus nerve had been stimulated.He repeated the same procedure, stimulating the sympathetic nerve instead. The effect was again as if the nerve of the denervated heart itself were stimulated: the denervated heart began beating faster. These results could not be explained electrically; the nerves must have secreted chemicals into the salt solution that directly affect the muscles of the denervated heart.In one simple experiment, Loewi had demonstrated three important findings: (1) that communication at the gap between nerve and heart muscle was chemical, (2) that each nerve released a different transmitter substance, and (3) that it was the characteristics of the different transmitter substances that caused the increase or decrease in heart rate. This was the first direct experimental evidence of the action of chemical neurotransmitters.<span>Like the junction between nerve and heart muscle that Loewi studied, nerve cells communicate with each other at special junctions called synapses. </span></span></span><span><span> thanks and i hope this helps you.....

The cell wall of a plant is like a laminated two layer structure.<br> a. True<br> b. False
JulsSmile [24]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

It is a true statement.

Explanation:

The plan cell wall is composed of 3 layers or 3 types of walls:

  1. Primary cell wall.
  2. Secondary cell wall.
  3. Middle lamella.

Between primary and secondary there is middle lamella.

These layer make it a laminated two layer structure.

How is a scientific law different from a scientific theory?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Scientific law is a description of an event. Scientific theory is the explanation for that event.

Explanation:

Or in better words, a scientific law is the description of an observed phenomenon. It doesn't explain why the phenomenon exists or what causes it. The explanation for a phenomenon is called a scientific theory
