The arterioles (small arteries) leading to an organ, constrict in order to decrease flow to the organ. To shut down an organ, bl

ood flow is reduced naturally to 2.80% of its original value. By what factor did the radii of the arterioles constrict? Penguins do this when they stand on ice to reduce the blood flow to their feet.

Answer:

The main factor that causes vasoconstriction is the high concentration calcium inside muscle cells.

Explanation:

When the vessels suffer vasoconstriction, the blood supply is decreased and in this way the heat of the body is maintained. The way this happens is because the blood can no longer reach the surface and therefore decreases outward heat radiation.  The main factor that causes vasoconstriction is the high concentration calcium inside muscle cells. There are several factors that cause vasoconstriction, internal or external. Environment is one of the external factors, and what happens to the penguins' feet is an example for it, since they are trying to preserve body heat to survive.

explain the concept of mutation and how mutations can translate to a loss or gain of function in an organism
Vesnalui [34]

A mutation is a change in a DNA sequence. Mutations can result from DNA copying mistakes made during cell division, exposure to ionizing radiation, exposure to chemicals called mutagens, or infection by viruses. Germ line mutations occur in the eggs and sperm and can be passed on to offspring, while somatic mutations occur in body cells and are not passed on.

Recessive mutations inactivate the affected gene and lead to a loss of function. For instance, recessive mutations may remove part of or all the gene from the chromosome, disrupt expression of the gene, or alter the structure of the encoded protein, thereby altering its function.

Which of the following is NOT a pyrimidine?
Nostrana [21]
That'll be guanine. If you look up "pyrimidine" in google, it will tell you the two nucleotides that are pyrmidines are cytosine and thymine. So that leaves guanine.

This phylogenic tree shows the changes in bacterial species from the ancestral species to the most current split in the modern c
valina [46]

Answer:When we draw a phylogenetic tree, we are representing our best hypothesis about how a set of species (or other groups) evolved from a common ancestor^1

start superscript, 1, end superscript. As we'll explore further in the article on building trees, this hypothesis is based on information we’ve collected about our set of species – things like their physical features and the DNA sequences of their genes.
