In humans, the DMD gene is required for proper muscle function. Mutations in the DMD gene display X-linked recessive inheritance

that leads to muscular dystrophy. The DMD gene has enhancers that are required for gene expression in specific muscles of the body. enh1 is required for expression in the heart; enh2 is required for expression in the arm muscles; enh3 is required for expression in the leg muscles. For an individual with the genotype listed below, what phenotype would you expect

Answer:

Explanation:

As the inheritance is X-linked,recesson so for expression of muscular dystrophy in any given muscle,

\frac{enh1-    enh2+   enh3 -   DMD+ }{enh1-    enh2+   enh3 +   DMD+}

enh1+ /enh1 + = Shows muscular dystrophy in heart (Homozygous for -)

enh2+/enh2+ = Shows no muscular dystrophy in arms (Homozygous for +)

enh3-/enh3+ = variabl or mosaic for muscular dystrophy in leg muscles (Hetrozygous for enh3)

regulation in the human body. The role of vitamin D is shown in orange. Vitamin D is carried in the bloodstream to the liver, where it is converted into the prohormone calcifediol. Circulating calcifediol may then be converted into calcitriol, the biologically active form of vitamin D, in the kidneys.

pogonyaev

Answer:

Periodic selection.

Explanation:

Some bacterial strain has the ability to develop the resistance against the particular drug. This helps the bacteria to survive against the adverse environmental conditions.

The periodic selection may be defined as the natural selection that selects some strains of the bacteria that can survive in the particular environment. The periodic selection also favors the adaptive mutation that might occur due to the recombination in bacteria and removes the non selective species. The information given in the question provides the example of periodic selection.

Thus, the answer is periodic selection.

To feel an impulse, the receptor must be sent a signal to the brain where it could be interpreted. The signal should be caught by the receptor, send into the spinal cord, then arrives at the brain.
1. Object touch the heel 
2. impulses generated in the receptor cells
3. impulses transmitted through a sensory neuron
4. impulses transmitted through neurons in the spinal cord
5. impulses reach the brain
6. brain process the impulses
7. you feel the object touching your heel

2)
Nerves
Spinal cord
Brain

The nervous system is made of central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system is made of the network of nerves. The central nervous system is the brain and spinal cord that will receive impulse and send a response afterward. While brain could send the various signal, spinal cord could only send responses for reflexes.

3)
a. the diagram is showing Neuron cell
The nervous system is made up of multiple neuron cells. The neuron cells are specialized in sending a signal. It has a long axon that could deliver the signal far away. The signal is only one way though, so you will need a different neuron for receiving receptor signal and sending a response signal.


b. Two missing labels in the picture would be: axon.
It seems both of the label pointing out to the axon of the nerve cell. Since both of it pointing the same neuron cell, it should have the same name. Axon has a role in delivering nutrient and signal across the body.

c.  Myelin sheath will allow the signal to run faster. This will help in a process that needs speed like reflexes. The sheath will cover a part of the neuron and prevent the ion exchange. Myelin sheath stop in some part called node of Ranvier. This will allow the action potential to "leap" from node to node, make it travel much faster.
