The ________ nervous system is responsible for responses such as pupil dilation
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

parasympathetic

Explanation:

The parasympathetic nervous system is the one that controls involuntary functions and acts. The nerves that integrate it are born in the brain, forming part of the oculomotor, facial, glossopharyngeal and vagus cranial nerves

Within its functions it controls part of the visual apparatus: When we are nervous or activated, we need to capture all the possible information about the medium or about a particular stimulus, so the <u>pupil dilates</u>. On the contrary, when we are relaxed, the pupil contracts because it is not necessary to capture too much information from the environment, which is also called myosis.

A woman's father has ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTD), an X-linked recessive disorder producing mental deterioration
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Part A - Dd

Part B - 50%

Part C - Option E

Part D - dY

Part E - 50%

Part F - 50%

Explanation:

Given,

Let the allele for dominant trait (wild type) be "D" and the allele for recessive ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTD) be "d"

A X-linked recessive gene affects male offspring in a family tree though a female remains a carrier until it mates with a male with the a recessive diseased allele.

Part A

Father's genotype would be Dd. Hence it will pass d gene  (X diseased gene ) to her daughter.

Thus , Woman's genotype is Dd

Part B

Genotype of Normal man - DD

DD * Dd

DD, Dd, Dd, DD

One of the two males will have  ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTD), an X-linked recessive disorder producing mental deterioration hence, the probability is 50%

Part C

Option E is correct

Only one of the female offspring will have ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTD), an X-linked recessive disorder which will be expressed if other allele is also X linked recessive.

Hence, The chance of being a carrier will be one out of two female offspring i.e 50% and and chance of having OTD is 0%

Part D

dY

Part E

dY * Dd

DY, dY, dD, dd

one out of the two female is diseased. Hence, the probability is 50%

Part F

50%

Determine the ionic characteristics of this element, oxygen. Electrons that it can donate and Receive and there valence.
marissa [1.9K]
Oxygen is an element in the sixth group of the periodic table. This means it contains 6 electrons in its valence shell. Therefore, to complete its octet, it will prefer to gain two electrons rather than to donate 6. This is why its valency is -2. The relatively easy to achieve octet makes Oxygen a reactive element.
