You are already familiar with the fact that different organisms often exhibit common adaptations that help them succeed in a giv

en environment. Common adaptations are also often seen within organisms in the anatomy and physiology of organs or organ systems.
Think about the anatomy and physiology of the ear in both hearing and balance and compare that to what you now know about the anatomy and physiology of the olfactory receptor cells in the nose.
Explain a common adaptation to all 3 senses. Discuss the adaptation they all share and explain how the adaptation is used differently for each sense.

Answer:

*Sensory adaptation* is the common adaptation in all three sense. Sensory adaptation is the process in which changes in the sensitivity of sensory receptors occur in relation to the stimulus. All senses are believed to experience sensory adaptation.

Explanation:

This adaptation is shared as well as used differently as explained below.

1) Hearing+balance :In terms of hearing, our ears adapt to loud sound as it hits the small bones located in the inner ear. The loud sound leads the inner ear bone/s to contract. This contraction causes the reduction or delay of transmission of sound vibrations to the inner ear. Detection of the vibrations follows. However, this process of auditory adaptation usually does not work very well with loud sounds that are sudden or instantaneous. Examples of these sounds are gun shots or explosions

2)Smell :Low concentrations of several chemicals present in the air can be detected by the sensory receptors in the nose. These chemicals that we quickly detect include those in perfumes or air fresheners

Colour blindness (Daltonism): Disorder that affects the ability to, in most cases distinguish reds from greens

Explanation:

Fragile X syndrome is an inherited disease associated with different health problems during development including cognitive disabilities.

Duchenne is an inherited disorder caused by a mutation in the dystrophin gene that encodes a protein required for normal muscle functioning.

Hemophilia is an inherited disorder caused by mutations in the genes that encode for coagulation factors, which are required for normal blood coagulation.

Colour blindness is an inherited condition associated with the ability to distinguish red color from green color. This condition is caused by mutations in the genes that encode for red and green light-sensitive proteins.

Griffith called the process he observed transformation because
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

The correct answer would be the harmless bacteria had been transformed.

Griffith used two different strains of the bacteria <em>Streptococcus pneumoniae - </em>type-III-S or smooth strain and type II-R or rough strain.

Smooth strain had protective covering around itself (protect itself from hosts's immune system) and was able to kill the mice.

Rough strain did not have any protective covering around itself  and thus could be easily removed by the immune system Hence, it was not able to kill the mice.

In addition, heat killed smooth strain was also not able to kill the mice. However, when remains of it was added with rough strain then the blend was able to kill the mice.

Lastly, he was able to isolate living bacteria of both the strains.

He concluded that non-lethal type II-R strain was transformed into lethal type II-S strain by "transforming principle" (which we know today as DNA) that was supposed to be the part of dead III-S strain bacteria.

In your own words, explain how changes in the number of sunspots is related to changes in global climate.
Kobotan [32]
<span>The sunspots are eruptions of heat and light energy emitting from the surface of the sun. These can increase our energy absorption many times above normal. Especially if it is pointed directly at the earth. These have been known to disrupt several bands in the radio spectrum and have knocked out communications of satellites. Naturally all this energy would have a great effect on our earth in many ways, climate included.</span>
