Answer:

Crossing over

Explanation:

Crossing over is the process during which two chromatids of two homologous chromosomes exchange part of their genetic segments. It occurs during the pachytene stage of prophase I of meiosis I.

Linked genes are mostly inherited together and do not exhibit independent assortment. However, when linked genes are present far apart from each other on the same chromosome, crossing over can occur between them to produce recombinant chromatids. Therefore, crossing over can break the linkage and produce recombinant progeny as it occurs during the independent assortment of unlinked genes.

Which feedback mechanism is used to regulate blood glucose?
ASHA 777 [7]

<span><span>B. a negative feedback loop because the blood glucose level was returned to the set point, not amplified

</span>The glands which get involved are the pancreas and adrenal glands.</span><span> During increase in blood sugar, the pancreas secretes insulin, a hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas. Insulin causes red blood cells, muscle cells and fat cell to absorb sugar from the blood.</span><span>During decrease of blood sugar, the pancreas secretes  glucagon, a hormone produced by the alpha cells of the pancreas. Glucagon causes the liver to release the glucose stored in its cells.</span><span>The Adrenal gland secretes cortisol during times of low blood sugar levels.  Cortisol promotes the use of fatty acids to provide energy for working muscles, rather than using glucose.</span>

A towing company charges $40 to hook a car and $1.70 for each mile that is towed. Write an
stepan [7]

Given:

Fixed charges = $40

Variable charges = $1.70 for each mile.

To find:

The equation that represents the total cost y for x miles towed.

Find the y-intercept and interpret  its meaning in the context of the situation. ​

Solution:

Let y be the total cost for x miles.

Fixed charges = $40

Variable charges for 1 mile = $1.70

Variable charges for x mile = $1.70x

Now,

Total changes = Fixed charges + Variable changes

y=40+1.70x

Therefore, the required equation is y=40+1.70x.

Putting x=0 in the above equation, we get

y=40+1.70(0)

y=40+0

y=40

Therefore, the y-intercept is 40. It means the charges to hook a car is $40 if it is towed 0 miles.
