The answer is excessive narrowing of blood vessels.

When exposed to the cold, our body tries to reduce its heat loss by tightening the arterioles under the skin (vasoconstriction). This mechanism increases the flow of blood into the deep veins and allows the body to maintain its internal temperature.

In people with Raynaud's disease, this reaction is excessive: the nerves that control the tightening of arterioles are hypersensitive and cause spasm, rather than normal vasoconstriction. When the spasm stops, the arterioles dilate again, restoring blood circulation.

1. Define fitness as it used to describe adaptation
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

In terms of adaptation, fitness refers to the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce in a constantly changing environment.

Adaptive traits are very much important in a constantly changing environment as they increase the chances of survival of a population in the environment.

For example, Darwin's finches adapted to develop different types of beaks in order to get nutrition in different environments. Long necks of giraffes are also considered as a result of adaptation which helps them get the food located high on trees.

We covered transcription and translation in our lab this week. Below, you'll find several steps required for protein synthesis.
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is :

  • The 2 strands of DNA separate
  • mRNA is built based on the DNA template
  • mRNA leaves the nucleus
  • tRNA brings an amino acid into the P site.
  • tRNA brings an amino acid into the A site.
  • tRNA leaves the P site and a peptide bond is formed between the amino acids.
  • The mRNA+attached tRNA shifts, moving the 6-tRNA from A site to the P site.
  • The entire mRNA strand is translated into amino acids and a polypeptide is formed.

Explanation:

Protein synthesis is a process that is made up of two distinct processes namely transcription and translation.

Transcription: this process include several steps where the segment of DNA which has information, copied into the new molecule called mRNA which acts as the template as it has information copied from the DNA to produce gene expression.

Translation: is the process includes several steps in which a peptide chain is formed from the mRNA with the help of tRNA and ribosomes.

The correct order of steps is given under the answer heading.
