Answer:
D
Explanation:
The neuroendocrine system is made up of the cell in the body that ‘sit’ between the nervous system and the endocrine system. These cells are like the pituitary gland, islets cells of the pancreas, thyroids, and etcetera. They receive nerve impulses from nerves connected to them. The impulse then triggers them to release respective hormones into the blood.
Is made up of which of the following is both dna and rna
The study of health and disease within a geographic context and from a spatial perspective is medical geography.

Which mode of inheritance produces heterozygotes with phenotypes that differ from either homozygote but typically more closely resembles one homozygous phenotype than the other?"
A) complete dominance
B) incomplete dominance
C) codominance
D) epistasis
E) incomplete penetrance
Answer:
B) incomplete dominance
Explanation:
Incomplete dominance occurs when the dominant allele of a gene is not able to mask the expression of the recessive allele completely. This results in the expression of a phenotype in the heterozygous genotypes that differ from both homozygous genotypes. However, the phenotype of the heterozygote is closer to one of the homozygous genotypes.
For example, the petal color in four o'clock plant is controlled by a gene with two alleles R and r. Here, the "R" allele can not produce enough pigment in heterozygous conditions to completely mask the expression of the "r" allele and the phenotype of the "Rr" plant is "pink". On the other hand, the phenotype of "RR" plant is red while that of the "rr" plant is "white".
Answer:
CFTR protein facilitates the transport of chloride ions and water across the cells. Genetic defect in the CFTR gene results in defective protein synthesis. This defect in CFTR protein disrupts the chloride and water channel across the cell. The CFTR protein acts as a channel across the cell membranes which are specialized to produce mucus, sweat, tears etc. Failure of transport channel will result in symptoms like secretion of thick mucus. This mucus can obstruct the airflow and glands resulting in symptoms of cystic fibrosis.
