Answer:

The main properties of water are its polarity, cohesion, adhesion, surface tension, high specific heat, and evaporative cooling. A water molecule is slightly charged on both ends. This is because oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen

Svet_ta [14]

The correct answer is: prevent reception of a signal in a receiving neuron

Neurotransmitters are signal molecules or chemical messengers which transmit signals across a chemical synapse. Neurotransmitters send the signal, from one neuron (nerve cell) to another neuron, from neuron to muscle cell (motor plate), or from neuron to gland cell.

Drugs that bind to neurotransmitter’s receptor can have two effects on its action:

• Antagonists-they bind to receptor and thus prevent a neurotransmitter from binding to it

• Agonists-they bind to receptor and mimic the normal neurotransmitter (have the same effect as neurotransmitter).

Which of the following is an example of polygenic (quantitative) inheritance? a. the ABO blood groups b. Huntington's disease

Answer:Human height

Explanation:

Inheritance patterns are often more complex than predicted by simple mendalian genetics. When Mendel studied some phenotypic characters, like the human skin color and height, they were found to be an addictive effect of two or more genes on a single phenotypic character. These are called quantitative characters, which usually indicates polygenic inheritance.

The human height is an example of quantitative character, it is controlled by at least 3 genes having 6 alleles. 3 genes with 6 alleles from both parent can give rise to wide range of phenotypic character (heights).
