Answer:

C. A series of events in which an electrical stimulues is conveyed to a muscle fiber to enact contraction.

Explanation:

The excitation-contraction coupling is the physiological process that converts an electrical stimulus to a mechanical response; it is the action potential generated in the sarcolemma and the start of a muscle contraction. Electrical signals called action potentials travel through the neuron's axon, which branches through the muscle and connects individuals fibers at a neuromuscular junction.

Which roles does pressure play during a volcanic eruption? Check all that apply.

borishaifa [10]

Pressure decreases as magma rises.

Pressure increases until the volcano explodes.

Explanation:

The reason behind volcanic eruption is extreme weather, tectonic plates, climate change and magma movement. Under beneath of earths crust there are molten rock which is formed because of high temperature at core and they are melted and form a magma.

In magma there are various types of gas present. These gases are carbon dioxide, water vapor and also sulfur dioxide. These gases are stored in chambers of magma and it sealed beneath with lid of rock

In the garden pea, tall vine (D) is dominant over dwarf (d), green pod (Y) is dominant over yellow (y) and round seed (W) is dom

siniylev [52]

Answer:

3/8 tall, green, round

3/8 dwarf, green, round

Explanation:

The progeny which are in highest ratio represent parental plants.

Here in the given question, 3 out of 8 progeny are tall, green, round and 3 out of 8 progeny are dwarf, green, round which are the highest in number so they represent parental plants. The reason behind this is that during crossing over only two non-sister chromatids undergo crossing over while two other parental chromosomes remain intact. Out of the 4 chromosome types, 2 remain the same which will result in the same type of genotype of off-springs as of parents. So even if there is 100% chance of crossing over between non sister chromatids still only 50% will be recombinants rest of the 50% will represent parental type.

Another case may be when two genes are very near to each other then it is quite possible that the genes may not undergo crossing over at all in that case there will be no recombinants at all.

So, it simply means that parentals > recombinants or the progeny which are highest in number represent parentals.

In case of unlinked genes, parentals = recombinants. But, recombinants can never be greater than parentals.
