Answer:
A virus is a submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only inside the living cells of an organism.
Explanation:
Answer:
Soil erosion.
Explanation:
No-till plowing can be defined as a farming method or technique which typically involves planting crops (seedlings) without tilling the soil rather the farmer would only open a narrow or very shallow trench of sufficient depth and width to cover up the seedlings. Thus, the no-till plowing makes crop residues to be left on the soil and by extension preventing soil erosion through the absorption of water by the crop residues.
Hence, by leaving crop roots in the ground and stalks on the surface, no-till plowing helps prevent soil erosion.
Additionally, the water retention ability of no-till plowing is usually a boon to farmers because it slows down evaporation and serves as a good protection for drought-stricken environments.
The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows;
Examine and characterize the two motor pathways in the stretch patellar reflex.
A) Alpha motor neurons send efferent messages to the quadriceps, while parallel efferent messages to the hamstrings are reduced.
B) Alpha motor neurons send efferent messages to excite the quadriceps and the hamstrings are reduced.
C) Alpha motor neurons activate the quadriceps. Once the quadriceps have contracted, alpha motor neurons inhibit the hamstrings.
D) Interneurons excite alpha motor neurons, which in turn excite the muscle.
Answer:
Alpha motor neurons send efferent messages to the quadriceps, while parallel efferent messages to the hamstrings are reduced.
Explanation:
Neuron is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. The neurons can be classified as sensory neuron, motor neuron and interneuron based on their function.
The knee reflex is known as patellar reflex that involves in the movement of knees and stretching of patellar tendon. The efferent message is send by alpha motor neuron that are located in the anterior horn of the spinal cord. This send to quadriceps that results in the muscle contraction. In this process, the hamstrings messages are reduced that plays an important role in patellar reflex.
Thus, the correct answer is option (A).
Answer:
By identifying and “crossing” grasses that exhibited the desired traits, farmers were able to breed these two distinct species. The difference between GMOs and their selectively bred predecessors is that with selective breeding, all the traits of the desirable animal or plant are passed on to the new offspring
