Neuroglia, which is sometimes referred to as "glia", are cells that are not neurons but merely support and provide protection for neurons. They are called 'non-neuronal cells' and they exist in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (nerves outside the brain and the spinal chord).

Which of the following is an example of polygenic (quantitative) inheritance? a. the ABO blood groups b. Huntington's disease

ra1l [238]

Answer:Human height

Explanation:

Inheritance patterns are often more complex than predicted by simple mendalian genetics. When Mendel studied some phenotypic characters, like the human skin color and height, they were found to be an addictive effect of two or more genes on a single phenotypic character. These are called quantitative characters, which usually indicates polygenic inheritance.

The human height is an example of quantitative character, it is controlled by at least 3 genes having 6 alleles. 3 genes with 6 alleles from both parent can give rise to wide range of phenotypic character (heights).

How do radiation and chemotherapy affect cancer cells?

elixir [45]

Answer:

They destroy the DNA or RNA

Explanation:

Cancer drugs work by damaging the RNA or DNA. The faster the cancer cells divide, the more likely it is that chemotherapy will kill the cells, causing the tumor to shrink. They also induce apoptosis. Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. The radiations also induce apoptosis. Cancer cells whose DNA is damaged beyond repair stops dividing and die. The damaged cells die, they are broken down and removed by the body.
