Researchers have identified specific gene variants in the receptors that detect sweetness: TAS1R2 and TAS1R3. There is also high variation in the detection of bitterness. However, the story is more complicated than sweet taste, as we have 25 receptors that detect different bitter molecules
Dominant' traits will actually disappear faster if they are disadvantageous.
Think about it: if everyone who has even a single copy of a particular allele is at a disadvantage (manifests the phenotype, in this case six fingers), then even single copies are selected against.
In the case of recessive traits, selection occurs only against homozygous carriers, who may be very rare if the allele itself is rare.
A concrete example would be something like Tay-Sachs disease. If the allele that causes this were dominant, every carrier would die before adulthood, and it would occur only as a very rare de novo mutation. But because it is recessive, it persists for now; heterozygous carriers have no disadvantage.
Answer: Land, Water,Urbanization, and smog and acid rain.
Explanation:
Smog and acid rain are produced through similar sources, primarily vehicle and industry emissions. Though both result from human-caused air pollutants, there are chemical distinctions between the two. Though there are regulations in effect to reduce both types of pollution, they remain a threat to both human health and the environment.Smog Causes A combination of three components -- nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and sunlight -- causes smog. Nitrogen dioxide interacts with sunlight to create nitrogen oxide and a free oxygen molecule. This interaction produces ozone, which typically turns back into nitrogen dioxide, and the cycle repeats. The addition of VOCs interrupts the cycle, however. VOCs are produced by various sources, such as paint, cleaning products and refrigerants. The VOCs prevent the breakdown of ozone, allowing it to gather near the surface of the Earth, where even more nitric oxides are produced by vehicle and industry emissions, creating the dense smog seen in large cities such as Los Angeles and Beijing.Smog Hazards The presence of ozone in the form of smog can have several negative health effects. Respiratory systems can be irritated, reducing overall lung function and triggering asthma attacks. Evidence reported by the Environmental Protection Agency also suggests exposure to ozone reduces immune system responses, especially in the lungs. These effects subside over time, but little is known about the long-term effects of repeated exposure. Vegetation also suffers from smog, as plants that take up too much ozone can be damaged in ways such as discoloration and a loss of leaves that cuts photosynthesis efficiency by up to 50 percent.
Answer: Cerebellum
Explanation: We have to elimnate the other answers to figure out which one is correct.
The brain stem is number six
The spinal cord is also number six, but way lower
The cerebrum is like the whole brain
Therefore, leaving us with cerebellum, cerebellum is the correct answer
Answer:
Unit of force is called derived unit because the unit of force is derived from two or more than two fundamental units. i.e. kg*m(s*s).
Hope this answer is helpful for you.
