A certain type of flower has two alleles for color (blue, purple), and two alleles for stem height (tall, short). A tall blue fl

ower and a short purple flower are crossed, resulting in tall blue flowers, short blue flowers, tall purple flowers, and short purple flowers.

Answer:

Mendel's law of independent assortment

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel is a really important figure in genetics, his work on pea plants provided us with many of the fundamentals of genetics that we still have today!

Mendel proposed 3 laws:

1. The law of dominance - this law states that where there are two different alleles (heterozygous) the organism will always express the dominant trait over the recessive trait

2. The law of segregation - this law states that offspring will inherit one allele from each parent, because allele pairs separate in the process of meiosis, such that each gamete contains 1 allele of each trait. When the zygote is formed, it contains an allele from each parent.

3. The law of independent assortment - this law states that traits are independent from one another at the time of gamete formation. The genes are segregated separately from one another, as the presence of one does not impact the presence of another.

This example shows that all combinations of the height and color allele are possible, and therefore nicely demonstrates the law of independent assortment

Answer:

  1. Respiratory system
  2. Nervous system
  3. Circulatory system
  4. Integumentary system
  5. Endocrine system

Explanation:

During excessive hard work or sports, the respiratory system acts to provide sufficient oxygen for energy supply (ATP) - a process takes place in mitochondria. At the very beginning, the respiratory system is active. If the person doesn't intake sufficient water, he will feel tired because of heavy breathing that increases body temperature and affects metabolic reactions. A supply of water would help decrease the respiration need and so support other systems.

The nervous system (hypothalamus) regulates the body temperature which is necessary for metabolic reactions taking place within the body, i.e. homeostasis. During and after exercise, the water intake was not sufficient, this means that the hypothalamus would work to maintain the temperature as well as other metabolic mechanisms. In the case of less water intake, the nervous system would be in stress.

The circulatory system acts to transport blood and oxygen to all parts of the body. During sports activities, the oxygen supply would be high to maintain energy supply. This takes place with the combined action of the circulatory system and respiratory system. For optimal functioning, the circulatory system needs fluids (water) intake because sufficient water is already lost during sports.

The integumentary system is the system that directly protects the body from damages including dehydration. Therefore, in this case, it will be highly active.

The endocrine system consists of glands that produce hormones to control body metabolism. The body metabolism, as mentioned before, is driven through water availability. The reduced water in the body would also put the endocrine system under pressure.

What stimulates a skeletal muscle cell to contract?.
mars1129 [50]
A Muscle Contraction Is Triggered When an Action Potential Travels Along the Nerves to the Muscles. Muscle contraction begins when the nervous system generates a signal. The signal, an impulse called an action potential, travels through a type of nerve cell called a motor neuron.
