Ans.

A reflex action may defined as an instantaneous and involuntary action in response to an environmental stimulus. The reflex arcs (neural pathways) are responsible for the functioning of reflex actions as they act on impulses before these impulses reach the brain.  

Corneal reflex or blink reflex is an example of reflex action that involves blinking of eyelids due to corneal stimulation, such as by a foreign body, intense light, or bu touching) to protect eye.  

Thus, the correct answer is option B). 'blinking when light is flashed in the eyes.'

arsen [322]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

The amount of genetic variation in two humans is 0.1 percent of their genome. Human genetic variation refers to the biological difference that exists in the human population.

The genetic variation in humans and apes genome is about 4 percent which is 35 million differences in a single nucleotide.

The genetic variation between apes and humans (Homo sapiens), according to scientists includes gene expression differences, variation in the transportable elements and type and number of repetitive genomic DNA transportable elements, the difference in the gene sequence, single nucleotide polymorphic, etc.

According to research, 97 percent of humans and orangutans genomes are identical. Based on evolution, among all apes, the orangutans are very special as it has been stable for the past 15 million years.

Therefore, is the genetic variation between humans and orangutans is the greatest.

What is the preferred method for assessing heart rate during chest compressions?
Dmitry [639]
An electronic cardiac monitor is the preferred method for assessing heart rate during chest compressions.

After doing a genetic analysis on your respective _______, you and your roommate learned that you shared the same maternal ances
Norma-Jean [14]
MRNA is a short lived form of genetic information that is used in transcribing the genetic information, hence it is not very useful for analysis since it is fragile and wrong transcriptions happen quite often. SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) are a form of genetic mutation; they are more frequent than most other mutations since a single transription error may lead to this. While SNPs are important in genetic analysis and getting information about causes of disease, they are not very helpful in determining your maternal lineage. Similarly, while nuclear DNA contains a large portion of our genetic information, half of it is from our fathers and half from our mothers, so the analysis becomes hazy very soon. Mitochondrial DNA instead is directly passed down from mother to her offspring since the embryo contains only the mitochondria of the ovary. Thus, studying differences between mitochondrial DNA, one can gain information about his maternal lineage and go back to Mitochondrial Eve, the person from which all living persons have gotten their mitochondria from. Thus, the correct answer is c.
