Answer:

Sensory Adaption

Explanation:

Stimuli, both external and internal, are sensed with the help of sensory receptors. These sensory receptors sense the change in internal or external conditions called stimuli and send the information to the central nervous system. The sensory information is processed and interpreted in the central nervous system which in turn makes a person aware of the sensed stimuli.

However, the constant presence of the same stimulus does not trigger the firing of the action potential as it occurred during the first few encounters. This is called sensory adaption. For example, chirping of birds is apparent when a person enters the countryside but becomes less apparent after a few days due to sensory adaption of ears.

Replication in Living Cells

just olya [345]

Answer:

1. New chromosomes remain attached to cell membrane - Both

2. Proteins check for errors - Both

3. Starts at one place - Prokaryotes

4. Proceeds in two directions - Both

5. Copies of DNA condense into chromosomes that separate - Both

6. Starts at many places - Eukaryotes

Explanation:

The difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA replications is associated with the origins of replication, that is, the locations where replication starts. While in eukaryotic DNA, the origin of replication occurs in several places along the strands of DNA, replication in prokaryotic DNA has a unique origin of replication.

Nuclear power has come under higher scrutiny in recent years. Which statement would make the strongest for the use of nuclear po

Tamiku [17]

The Answer is A) Nuclear power generates large amounts of power limited to projection of greenhouse gases.

I believe this is the answer. As per the reports in 1998, it has been calculated the emission of the greenhouse gas has reduced for nearly half due to the popularity in the use of nuclear power. Nuclear energy by far has the lowest impact on the environment since it does not releases any gases like carbon dioxide, methane which are largely responsible for greenhouse effect. There is no adverse effect on water, land or any habitats due to the use of it. Though some greenhouse gases are released while transporting fuel or extracting energy from uranium.

Have a great day. Keep asking questions!

Achondroplasia is caused by an autosomal dominant allele and individuals who inherit two copies of the allele do not survive to

Masteriza [31]

If both, Jenifer and Bill are the

carriers (have one allele for the achondroplasia) that theirs genotypes are Aa (A is dominant, a is recessive allele). In this case:

P: Aa x Aa

F: AA Aa Aa aa

This means that ¼ (25%) is the possibility for child to have achondroplasia.

Second case is if one of the parents have homozygous recessive genotype aa (not having allele for achondroplasia):

P1: Aa x aa

F: Aa Aa aa aa

This means that none of the child will inherit both alleles.
