4 0

Answer:

There is a 50% chance of getting Huntingdon's disease.

Explanation:

Assume the affected parent is Hh, where H is the Huntingdon's disease allele and h is the unaffected allele. One parent is unaffected, or hh. You have a 50% chance of getting the H allele from the affected parent.

If I had the choice to get tested, for Huntingdon's disease, I would do it.  I would want to know so that I wouldn't  live my life worrying about it everyday.

Skeletal muscle cells exhibit a phenomenon known as recruitment, in which the number of muscle cells recruited to contract is pr
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

No, cardiac muscle tissue does not exhibit recruitment.

Explanation:

The cardiac muscle tissue does not recruit cells to contract. The reason is that the cardiac muscle contracts all its cells at once and with the same force. It does not have to recruit other cells since it does not have to lift objects of different weights. The heart's contraction aims to pump blood and to do it rhythmically. The heart has a natural peacemaker, the sinoatrial node. The Sinoatrial node transmits an electrical impulse to all the heart to contract it all at the same time and continuously. For these reasons, the cardiac muscle does not need recruitment.

</span>Option b is correct. This relates to the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) which occured around 56 million years ago and was similar to modern-day climate change. Warming of more than 5 degrees Celcius occured over<span> 15-20 thousand years because of input of more than 2000 gigatons of carbon into the atmosphere.

Serga [27]

People are often able to live in a coma for several years because parts of the body that are not under conscious control continue to function. This situation best reflects the importance of the

A) central nervous system

B) autonomic nervous system

C) somatic nervous system

D) forebrain

Answer:

B) autonomic nervous system

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system is a part of the peripheral nervous system. It comes under the motor division of the peripheral nervous system. The function of this division of the nervous system is to deliver the motor information from the central nervous system to the smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands.  The responses produced by these muscles and glands are not controlled by the will or conscious of the individuals.  

Due to the functioning of the autonomic nervous system, the person under the coma could perform the activities such as breathing, pumping of heart to deliver the oxygen to the body cells, etc. and stay live.
