Answer:

1. Specific Heat

Explanation:

Water has the capacity to regulate the internal temperature of the body in response to the external temperature. Sweat is the main means by which water prevents the human body overheating when the temperature outside it is very high. The evaporation of sweat brings a loss of calories, in the form of heat.

Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder in humans. If a man with Achondroplasia ( heterozygous) and a normal wo
tresset_1 [31]

Answer and Explanation:

Achondroplasia is a form of dwarfism that affects the formation of cartilage; early in development, most of the skeleton is comprised of cartilage. Cartilage is a type of flexible, tough tissue; in achondroplasia ossification (conversion of cartilage to bone) is affected. Symptoms include an enlarged head, shorter upper and lower limbs, and limited motion at the elbow.

Punnett squares are illustrations that display the product of hybrid trait crosses by genetic breeding.

For this cross...

Assuming Achondroplasia= dominant

Parent generation or P generation:

gametes: An → Achondroplasia dominant (A), No Achondroplasia recessive (n)

Heterozygousity describes the allelic makeup; these traits comprise two varying forms of a  gene. However, homozygous traits comprise identical forms of the gene.

Male: An  →  with Achondroplasia

Female: nn → without Achondroplasia

genotypes and phenotypes for parent and offspring...

Assuming heterozygousity of the male , for the cross

P generation:                         An × nn

                          Achondroplasia   × No Achondroplasia

F1 generation:

genotype:                      An × nn       ...(from punnet square)

phenotype:          2 with Achondroplasia ; 2 without

∴ 50% are genotypically heterozygous while 50% is homozygous , 2 with Achondroplasia ; 2 without

Select TWO events that occur when a neurotransmitter binds and activates an excitatory synapse.
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Key points

Neurons communicate with one another at junctions called synapses. At a synapse, one neuron sends a message to a target neuron—another cell.

Most synapses are chemical; these synapses communicate using chemical messengers. Other synapses are electrical; in these synapses, ions flow directly between cells.

At a chemical synapse, an action potential triggers the presynaptic neuron to release neurotransmitters. These molecules bind to receptors on the postsynaptic cell and make it more or less likely to fire an action potential.

Explain how animal like plant like are similar and different
Delvig [45]

Answer: The main way animal-like protists differ from plant-like protists is in the way they get energy. Animal-like protists are heterotrophs. ... Plant-like protists, on the other hand, are autotrophs. They can make their own energy from the sun or other sources just as plants can.
