During exercise, cardiac output may increase by more than 170% to meet the body’s increased O₂ demands. This increase in cardiac

output increases blood pressure. But the accompanying increase in arterial pressure is relatively small—only about 40%. What limits this increase in blood pressure so that it doesn’t reach dangerously high levels during exercise?a. Blood vessels shorten in the contracting skeletal muscles.b. Blood volume decreases due to sweating.c. Vasodilation causes arterial diameter to increase in the exercising skeletal muscle.d. Hematocrit decreases as more interstitial fluid enters the blood vessels.

Answer:

c. Vasodilation causes arterial diameter to increase in the exercising skeletal muscle

Explanation:

Cardiac output increases blood pressure due to increased pumping action of the heart. To protect the blood pressure to rise to the fatal levels during exercise or any other activity of excessive muscle contraction, blood vessels are stimulated to dilate.

Dilation of arteries dissipates some of the blood pressure. The arteries with larger diameter have less blood pressure than the arteries with a narrow cavity under the conditions of the same cardiac output. Therefore, the dilation of arteries Dilation does not allow the blood pressure to rise to the harmful levels.

MRNA or messenger RNA. As the central dogma of biotech goes, DNA is transcribed to mRNA which is translated to tRNA, after which the amino acids form peptide bonds and form proteins. So when you see transcription, the first thing you think of is DNA to mRNA.

What are the polymers of nucleic acids called
lyudmila [28]

Explanation:

Nucleic acids are polymers of individual nucleotide monomers. Each nucleotide is composed of three parts: a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Only two 5-carbon sugars are found in nature: ribose and deoxyribose.

The scientists modified the genes that were turned on/off (expressed) in mice. What happened to the offspring of these mice?
daser333 [38]

The resulting mice will be induced with the changed gene either on or off. The offspring will have altered genes if both the alleles have the trait. This is a heritable change.

Explanation:

Making gene on or off is a process of gene regulation when one of the gene is methylated or histone modification to prevent access to transcription factors hence no expression of the protein. This process is called epigenetics.

The resulting progeny in mice will receive the allele of on or off the gene. Such genes with altered allele are also called as

The altered genes will be expressed in the resulting progeny of mice.

The epigenetic genes can be reverted with environmental effects in the offspring paramutable alleles. They are heritable.
