Muscle has desmosomes and gap junctions in intercalated discs which help the tissue withstand the stress of contraction without

the cells separating and electrically couples the cells.

The gap junctions electrically tie all the cardiac muscle cells in combination into a single contractile unit. The desmosomes inhibit the adjacent cells from segregating at the time of contraction, and the gap junctions permit ions to pass from cell to cell, conducting current through the whole heart.  

The main function of the intercalated discs is to hold the nearby cells in combination by offering the sites of strong adherence.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Bromothymol blue is an indicator dye that turns yellow in presence of an acid. It remains blue if the pH of the given solution is greater than 7.6 and yellow when the pH is less than 6. The yellow coloration is due to the formation of carbonic acid in the from the carbon dioxide present in the solution.


When aquatic plants are added to two test tubes containing bromothymol blue, stoppered and kept in dark for two days, no color change is observed. It is because the carbon dioxide present is utilized in the process of photosynthesis by plants. If the experiment is conducted in presence if the light, the color of bromothymol blue would be yellow due to the presence of carbon dioxide.

What would happen to a cell if, during the splitting of chromosomes, two did not separate- and one cell got a double set and the
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

The correct pairing of the homologous chromosomes and their correct segregation (a chromosome for each daughter cell) are key to the proper development of the new cells, and specially of the new individual if we are talking about the early stages of embryogenesis. If there is an error during the splitting of chromosomes, and one cell gets a double set and the other misses a chromosome, numerical chromosomal abnormalities occur. These numerical abnormalities can happen on autosomes or sexual chromosomes, and common examples are as Down Syndrome (trisomy 21), Patau Syndrome (trisomy 13), Turner Syndrome (45,X) and others. The number of the trisomy indicates the chromosome pair that suffered the adding or the subtraction of its chromosome.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Chromosome number variation: B. Down syndrome

Loss-of-function allele  : D. PKU

Physiological trait : E. Lactose metabolism

Discovery-based science : A. Human Genome Project

Genetic cross: C. Model organism

Explanation:

Down syndrome is a condition in which there is an extra copy of the chromosome number 21. Hence, it is a chromosome number variation.

Physiological traits refers to any function of a body. Hence, it matches with lactose metabolism.

Human Genome Project was a project under which the whole genome of the humans were sequenced. Hence, it is a discovery based science.

A genetic cross is made between model organisms to test for the offsprings that would be produced from a cross. Hence, genetic cross and model organism math with each other.
