Solnce55 [7]4 years ago

Endorphins are brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters which are released when the body feels a certain amount of stress and pain. Endorphins alter the communication of pain in the body by interacting with the opiate receptors and blocking the synapse so that signals cannot be sent to the brain in order to reduce an individual perception of pain.

Nearly all plant cells and many bacteria are surrounded by a cell wall. However, the roles these walls play in cell division dif
Makovka662 [10]

Answer: A. protein like tubules

B. Microtubules

C. Microfilaments

Explanation:

Cytokinesis in the bacteria is facilitated by the presence of these conserved tubulin-like proteins. Due to the fact that their walls are flexible, constriction of these walls is possible aiding in cytokinesis. Unlike in plant that have rigid cell wall, a cell plate is involved in the formation of a new cell wall between the daughter cells. Network of microtubules determines the position of the cell plate which is mostly like a disc in the middle of the two daughter cells. Cleavage furrow occurs in animal cells which is caused by the action of the contractile ring: a ring of actin microfilament.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

100%

Explanation:

In this problem, we have one gene (pea color) with two possible alleles (green and yellow).

Green is dominant over yellow, so the possible genotypes and phenotypes are:

  • GG or Gg = green pea pods
  • gg = yellow pea pods.

If an individual is true breeding it is homozygous for all genes under study.

The cross between true breeding plants is:

<h3>GG x gg</h3><h3 />

The green parent (GG) can only produce <em>G </em>gametes; the yellow parent (gg) can only produce<em> g</em> gametes. 100% of the offspring will have the genotype Gg (green).
