Why is maintaining a circadian rhythm important?

Maintenance of the circadian rhythm is important because it helps keep the body's functions running normally.
Alteration of the circadian rhythm to a significant degree may lead to mood disorders including mild depression and seasonal affective disorder.

Abrupt shifts in routine such as shift change or travel resulting in jet lag can alter the sleep cycle and also environmental factors such as decrease in number of daylight hours. This can negatively impact the secretion of melatonin which induces us to sleep which will lead to less sleep and thus irritability and mood swings.

Which of the following is an

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

It’s either A or B. I would probably say A because, In biochemistry, chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon-containing molecules and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic compounds or ferrous ions as a source of energy, rather than sunlight, as in photosynthesis. Chemoautotrophs, organisms that obtain carbon from carbon dioxide through chemosynthesis, are phylogenetically diverse. Groups that include conspicuous or biogeochemically-important taxa include the sulfur-oxidizing gamma and epsilon proteobacteria, the Aquificae, the methanogenic archaea and the neutrophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria. Many microorganisms in dark regions of the oceans use chemosynthesis to produce biomass from single carbon molecules. Two categories can be distinguished. In the rare sites where hydrogen molecules are available, the energy available from the reaction between CO₂ and H₂ can be large enough to drive the production of biomass.

In a dihybrid cross, if two heterozygotes (for both genes) are crossed, what will be the expectedphenotypic ratios? (In the foll

olga nikolaevna [1]

In questions like this, the best thing to do is write an example

First of all you need to know that a heterozygous may contribute genotypically different alleles: SY Sy sY or sy

So, if you cross two heterozygotes:

SY Sy sY sy

SYSSYYSSYySsYYSsYy

SySSYySSyySsYySsyy

sYSsYYSsYyssYYssYy

sySsYySsyyssYyssyy

-Well, you see that dominant for both trails are: SSYY, SSYy, SsYY or SsYy

If you count them there are 9 dominant for both trails

-Dominant for the the first trait and recessive for the second can be: SSyy or Ssyy

If you count them there are 3 of them

- In recessive for the first trait and dominant for the second we have two possibilites ssYY or ssYy

So, we see that again we have 3 cases

- Finally, for recessive for both trails the only possibility is ssyy

We have just one case (the one is left in the chart)

You can write it like this: 9:3:3:1

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that... 1. small masses don't exert gravity on larger masses 2. earth's gravity can

Allushta [10]

Description
Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
