Biology

BigorU [14]3 years ago
7 0

Acetylcholine is the most abundant neurotransmitter (molecule that sends signals from 1 nerve cell to another) in the body. One major function of acetylcholine is found at neuromuscular junctions. Here is transmits signal from a neuron to a muscle cell and is therefore responsible for initiating muscle contraction.

Not quite sure if you're given any answer choices, but here are some diseases that have been linked to having a deficiency with this neurotransmitter:

Parkinson's

Huntington

Alzheimer's

Myasthenia gravis (characterized by muscle weakness and fatigue)

How are mitosis and meiosis similar
masha68 [24]

Answer:

Both mitosis and meiosis are processes of cell division. They use the same steps for cell division, including prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Differences between mitosis and meiosis:

Mitosis is the process of asexual reproduction, while meiosis involves sexual reproduction. Higher life forms, such human beings and animals undergo meiosis. The resulting offspring is genetically different in the case of meiosis, while the offspring is identical in the case of mitosis. Meiosis includes two steps of division, compared to the single step of mitosis. During the process of meiosis, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half, while in mitosis, they remain the same. Also, mitosis produces 2 diploid cells, while meiosis produces 4 haploid cells.

Someone answer these 2 for me
Sophie [7]

Answer:

F=dominant, 6 fingers

f= reccessive, 5 fingers

Ff= 6 fingers( contains dominant gene)

if you combine Ff and Ff you get:

25% FF (6 fingers)

50% Ff (6 fingers)

25% ff ((5 fingers)

so only 25% will have 5 fingers (normal)

Answer2:

Dominant=normal hearing

Recessive= deafness

If one parent is RR and the other Rr, the offspring will be:

50% RR

50% Rr

so all the offspring will have normal hearing, and there is 0% of deafness.

Hope it helps!!

Scientists consider the testing phase of the cell cycle because they can’t see a visible change during this phase
tia_tia [17]
Scientists consider the INTERPHASE the resting phase of the cell cycle because they can not see a visible change during this phase.
The interphase refers to the interval in the cell cycle between two cell divisions. During this stage, the individual chromosomes in the cell can not be distinguished. Although scientist can not see any outward visible change during this phase, but it is actually the time when the DNA inside the nucleus is replicated.
