Answer:

Lateral inhibition.

Lateral inhibition may be defined as the ability of an excited neuron to reduce or decrease the activity of ts side by or neighbor's neuron. The sensory [perception is increased during lateral inhibition.

The stronger response is detected at the surface edge rather than on the cell's middle surface. The excited neurons move in the lateral direction and decreases the activity of the middle or neighbor neurons.

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer: 18%

Use Chargaff's rules which states that 100% is total of all 4 bases and Adenine and Thymine need to have 1:1 ratio and Cytosine and Guanine need to have 1:1 ratio

32% Adenine = 32% Thymine

32 + 32 = 64 100 - 64 = 36 36/2 = 18

18% of Cytosine and 18% of Guanine

Would you expect to find older or newer fossils in rock layers closer to the surface? Why?
densk [106]

Answer:

Newer

Explanation:

Because it is like when you place a plant and its roots underground and cover it up. You have the newer dirt going over the newest roots and the roots are close to the top

(If you aren't satisfied with that explanation here's another one) :

A hundred years ago dinosaurs existed and then they died and their remains were buried under dirt. However, we know that the fossils aren't anywhere near the top. Over time fossils get buried under layers of dirt the newer ones will be near the top because they haven't had time to be more buried.

A screening tool for benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer includes palpation of the prostate. Explain how this is ac
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Palpation of the prostate is done by palpating it through the anterior portion of the rectal wall.

Explanation:

Prostate palpation is performed in doctors' offices during a routine urologist appointment. The specialist will ask the patient to take off his clothes and lie on a stretcher. The position for rectal touch depends on the practice of each doctor. It can be done lying in bed in the gynecological position, lying on its side or standing flexing the abdomen on the stretcher.

The doctor will introduce the gloved, lubricated finger into the rectal region (canal that connects the anus to the rectum) and reach the prostate through the anterior portion of the rectal wall. The exam takes approximately 10 seconds to complete. The procedure is painless, but may end up causing some discomfort.
