PtichkaEL [24]

If an individual has an increased rate of blood flow to the skin,such as would happen with emotion or alcohol consumption ,their skin takes on a reddish tinge.

Explanation:

Our skin is provided with a large number of blood capillaries. These capillaries bring blood and nutrients to the layers of skin. Whenever vasodilation of these capillaries occur, the blood flow to the skin increases and the skin gets a reddish tinge.

During an emotional upsurge such as embarrassment causes the adrenal glands to release adrenaline.

Adrenaline as well as alcohol vasodilates the blood vessels and increases the flow of blood to the skin. Hence, the skin gets a reddish tinge.

How can a refute hypothesis lead to a new investigation

IrinaVladis [17]

A refute hypothesis is a hypothesis that has been refused, not accepted.

When a hypothesis is refused, the scientists that proposed it will try to correct it or to create a similar more applicable one, and that is how new investigations could occur in this case.

Hope it helped,

Explain Mendel's law of independent assortment and how the 9:3:3:1 phenotypic ratio among the F2 of a dihybrid cross provides ev

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mendel's law of independent assortment state that two different genes assort independently in gamete formation.

To reach this conclusion, one has to do a dihybrid cross. This means that two genes responsible for different traits need to be analyzed at the same time.

1) Starting with a parental generation of a cross between two pure lines (homozygous for both genes) with different traits, a plant with yellow and round seeds (YYRR) and another with green and wrinkled seeds (yyrr). The F1 will be phenotypically homogeneous (yellow and round), and genotypically heterozygous (YyRr).

2) If the individuals from the F1 are crossed with one another, we have to do a Punnett Square to determine the phenotypic ratio of the F2.

If the genes assort independently, the F1 individuals will produce their different gametes with the same probability. Each possible gamete will appear in a 1/4 proportion: YR, Yr, yR, yr.
The 9:3:3:1 ratio is a result of analyzing the possible phenotypes that result from the dihybrid cross.

See the attached image for an illustration of the crosses in each generation and the Punnett Square.

How could different nucleotide sequences result in the same amino acid sequences?

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

There is more than one codon that can specify most amino acids, therefore you never know which one was used for a particular protein, unless you can look at the DNA or RNA sequence.
