C. living things respond to stimuli in the environment
You are in the forest and see a large, snarling, drooling grizzly bear running directly toward you. The adrenaline rush you feel as you run toward the cabin is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system.
The sympathetic nervous system is a part of the autonomic nervous system which functions through various interconnected neurons. The sympathetic nervous system’s main role is to stimulate the neuronal and hormonal stress response (also known as body's fight-or-flight response). The sympathetic fibers in the adrenal medulla (inner part of the adrenal gland) produce acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter), which allow the high secretion of adrenaline and low amounts of noradrenaline from it. The sympathetic nervous system also prepares the body for action, especially in situations that are dangerous to survival.
Answer:
Mendel's law of independent assortment
Explanation:
Gregor Mendel is a really important figure in genetics, his work on pea plants provided us with many of the fundamentals of genetics that we still have today!
Mendel proposed 3 laws:
1. The law of dominance - this law states that where there are two different alleles (heterozygous) the organism will always express the dominant trait over the recessive trait
2. The law of segregation - this law states that offspring will inherit one allele from each parent, because allele pairs separate in the process of meiosis, such that each gamete contains 1 allele of each trait. When the zygote is formed, it contains an allele from each parent.
3. The law of independent assortment - this law states that traits are independent from one another at the time of gamete formation. The genes are segregated separately from one another, as the presence of one does not impact the presence of another.
This example shows that all combinations of the height and color allele are possible, and therefore nicely demonstrates the law of independent assortment
Answer:
Eukaryotes are found in plants, animals, fungi, and protists
