When the gene is considered pleiotropic, this means that a single gene controls or influences multiple and possibly unrelated phenotypic traits. Phenotypic traits are characteristics of an organism that is can be easily observed. Such as size, color, shape and behavior.

Por que o nosso nariz fica entupido quando estamos resfriados?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

why does our nose get stuffy when we have a cold

Answer:

Due to dilation of blood vessels in the sinuses of the nose

Explanation:

Often times, we think our nose gets stuffed up due to the excess mucus in times of cold but it is not always so.

We get stuffed due to the body's homeostasis, a drive to internally control and balance the outside environment.

  • During cold, blood vessels dilate so as to allow for more inflow of blood.
  • Incoming blood brings in more heat to the body parts.

HELP WORTHA FREE BRAINLY IF RIGHT
zalisa [80]

Answer: The answers seem correct.

1. Active transport - the process in which energy is used to move the particles of a substance against a concentration gradient from a region where they are in lower concentration to a region whey are in higher concentration.

2. The answer chosen for #2 makes sense because energy is usually needed when you putting effort into doing an activity that includes some type of force. That means ions are using energy to be moved against the concentration gradient.

3. Volume makes sense for the last question since the cells are using a space (volume) to move material in and out by diffusion. The other options besides volume are unreasonable.
