<span>Pacinian corpuscles are rapidly adapting mechanoreceptors so they respond only at the onset and offset of the stimulus. The Pacinian corpuscle has a single afferent nerve fiber. Its end is covered by a sensitive receptor membrane whose sodium channels will open when the membrane is deformed in any way. Pressure thus causes sodium to enter the neuron and create a generator potential. If this potential reaches a certain threshold nerve impulses are formed. This impulse is now transferred along the axon with the use of sodium channels and sodium/potassium pumps in the axon membrane. The magnitude of the stimulus is encoded in the frequency of impulses generated in the neuron. So the more massive or rapid the deformation of a single corpuscle, the higher the frequency of nerve impulses generated in its neuron.</span>

In some species of Drosophila, there are genes on the Y chromosome that are not on the X chromosome. Imagine that a new allele a
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The Drosophila like the mammals possess X and Y chromosomes but as in males in which the XX is female and XY is male, the sex In Drosophila is not determined by the presence of Y chromosomes as a male determining factor are present on the autosomes.

However, the Y chromosome is important for males as they are involved in the formation of the sperms therefore the presence of Y is important. In the given question if the allele is present ion the Y chromosome which can reduce the size therefore the allele is passed on to the males only ans no females.

Thus, true is the correct answer.

the fly is female (Bridges 1921, 1925). Thus, XO Drosophila are sterile males. In flies, the Y chromosome is not involved in determining sex. Rather, it contains genes active in forming sperm in adults.

What are some similarities between sex-linked traits and dominant/recessive
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

What do you already know about the difference between dominant and recessive traits? Or sex-linked and autosomal traits? Dominant traits are the traits that are normally shown in an organism. Recessive traits are the traits that are not normally shown in an organism overpowered by the dominate trait.
