One fish of this type has alleles 1 and 3 (S1S3) and its mate has alleles 2 and 4 (S2S4). If each allele confers a unit of color

darkness such that S1 has one unit, S2 has two units, and so on, then what proportion of their offspring would be expected to have five units of color?

Answer:

The options to the question are:

A) 1/4

B) 1/5

C) 1/8

D) 1/2

E) 0

The answer is D (1/2)

Explanation:

If each fish can possess only two allele types, a cross between a fish with allele types S1S3 and S2S4 will produce four possible offsprings using a punnet square.

S1S3 will produce S1 and S3 gametes while S2S4 will produce S2 and S4 gametes.

Each allele type confers a particular number of unit color to the fish i.e. S1 confers one unit color, S2 confers two, S3 confers 3, S4 confers 4 and so on........

A cross between S1S3 and S2S4 will yield offsprings S1S2, S1S4, S2S3 and S3S4. Combining these allele types, we will realize that only S1S4 and S2S3 will produce fishes with 5 units respectively. Hence, the probability of producing offsprings with five units of color is 2/4 or 1/2.

How do the nervous system and endocrine system work together? apex?
jek_recluse [69]
The nervous and the endocrine system are tightly linked together.
The main reason for this linkage is due to the connection of the hypothalamus (nervous system) and the hypophysis (a gland in the endocrine system)
The hypophysis is the ''controller'' of all of the other endocrine glands.
The connection between the hypothalamus and the hypophysis enables the nervous system to control the hormone levels of all of the major endocrine glands in the body.
The hypothalamus releases hormones into the bloodstream that leads to the hypophysis. These hormones induce a release of hypophysis hormones that enter the bloodstream and when they reach the target gland (for example pancreas) these hormones induce the release of the hormones of that gland (in the case of the pancreas, insulin).
The hypothalamus monitors the concentration of hormones in the blood, and a high level of a certain hormone blocks the release of the hypothalamus' hormones. Therefore, a high level of insulin blocks a cascade of hormone release that starts in the hypothalamus that leads to its release in the pancreas.

Fechner stated the existence of a functional relationship between body and mind is, in general, not _____
BARSIC [14]

Solution:

Dualists view the mind and the body as two fundamental different “things”, equally real and independent of each other. Cartesian thought, or substance dualism, maintains that the mind and body are two different substances, the non-physical and the physical, and a causal relationship is assumed to exist between them. Physicalism, on the other hand, is the idea that everything that exists is either physical or totally dependent of and determined by physical items. Hence, all mental states are fundamentally physical states. In the current study we investigated to what degree Swedish university students’ beliefs in mind-body dualism is explained by the importance they attach to personal values. A self-report inventory was used to measure their beliefs and values. Students who held stronger dualistic beliefs attach less importance to the power value (i.e., the effort to achieve social status, prestige, and control or dominance over people and resources). This finding shows that the strength in laypeople’s beliefs in dualism is partially explained by the importance they attach to personal values
