Answer:

The situation in which some individuals have greater reproductive success than other individuals in a population. Along with variation and heritability, it is one of the three conditions necessary for evolution by natural selection.

There are so many factors that contributed to this over time, reproductive success differs and it could be attributed to hereditary and variation as well. Most often, the hereditary plays the most role out of all as the viability of both eggs and sperms could have been inherited from parents or being affected as a result of environmental factor or nutrition or other factors.

For instance, if one has a rhesus factor of negative and went ahead to marry another male counterpart with negative rhesus factor, this sedomly leads to miscarriage which could have been controlled had it been they were thoroughly counseled. Furthermore, physical factor such as accident could damage one spermatical vessicles that houses the sperm cells which render such an individual to be unable to donate a viable sperm cell for reproduction.

Those with high rate of reproductive success thrives as result of having many offspring which increases their chances of having more offspring than those with little success rate.

How many unique gametes could be produced through independent assortment by an individual with the genotype AaBbCCDdEE?
dexar [7]
The answer is B) 8.

There are 5 genes. There are two possibilities for each of the heterozygous genes and only one possibility for each of homozygous genes. So, the possibilities for each gene are:
Aa - 2: A or a;
Bb - 2: B or b;
CC - 1: D;
Dd - 2: D or d;
EE - 1: E.
Genotype AaBbCCDdEE will have
                2 x 2 x 1 x 2 x 1 gametes

Thus, there will be 8 unique gametes produced by an <span>individual with the genotype AaBbCCDdEE</span>

How many neutrons does an element have if its atomic number is 46 and its mass number is 166?
jolli1 [7]

To find the number of neutrons in an atom, you subtract the atomic number (number of protons) from the atomic mass (aproximate weight of an atom = neutrons + protons). Therefore the number of neutrons is:

166 - 46 = 120

Agents that paralyze skeletal muscle by simple competitive inhibition of acetylcholine at muscle receptor sites are called?
Fed [463]

Agents that paralyze skeletal muscle by simple competitive inhibition of acetylcholine at muscle receptor sites are called?

a. nondepolarizing

b. depolarizing

c. antagonizing

d. repolarizing

Answer:

a. nondepolarizing

Explanation:

As the nerve impulse arrives, the synaptic end bulbs of the motor neurons release acetylcholine in the synapse. Acetylcholine binds to its receptors present at the motor endplate. This results in the opening of an ion channel in the ACh receptor to allow the movement of the Na+ into the cell. This makes the inside of the muscle fiber more positively charged, that is, depolarized.

Depolarization triggers a muscle action potential. Drugs or chemicals that paralyze skeletal muscle by competitive inhibition of acetylcholine at muscle receptor sites are called non-depolarizing as they do not allow the acetylcholine to facilitate the depolarization of the muscle fiber.
