The kernel color in wheat is a continuous trait determined by two additive genes, each with two alleles, that equally contribute

to kernel color determination. The red kernels are determined by two genes and two dominant alleles (R1R1R2R2), and white kernels are determined by two recessive alleles at the same two genes (r1r1r2r2). The duplicate dominant alleles R1 and R2 contribute equally to kernel color and cumulatively control the intensity of the red kernel phenotype. Both these alleles are dominant over the recessive white alleles r1 and r2. A true breeding red plant and true breeding white plant are crossed, and the resulting F1 progeny are selfed.
What is the expected phenotypic ratio of the kernel progeny of the F2 offspring?

What motion is observed in a horse once the ischial arch is passed with a urinary catheter?
never [62]

Answer: Option A.

It lowers the head.

Explanation:

The ischial arch is a prominent structure closer to the colliculus seminalis of horse. The ejaculatory duct is lateral to this and correspond to the area of ductus differenc eand vesicular gland opening.

The vesicular glands can be easily catheterized using a small-diammeter, flexible polyethylene catheter or a stylet . The catheter is inserted into the instrument channel of the videoendoscope and serves as a route for direct aspiration of fluid or instillation of pharmacologic solutions for direct treatment.It also helps to guide the scope head into the seminal vesicle .

How might a single hormone have drastically different effects in
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The correct answer is "There are several mechanisms that explain why a hormone have different effects in different cells. These mechanisms include: multiple receptors for the same hormone, a single receptor coupled to different pathways and hormones interacting with receptors for other molecules".

Explanation:

Hormones are among the most versatile molecules of the body, responsible for different biological processes such as human growth, sex development and metabolisms. Hormones are responsible of these complex biological processes because they have drastically different effects in different cells. There are several mechanisms that explain why a hormone have different effects in different cells. These mechanisms include:

- Multiple receptors for the same hormone. For instance, there are multiple receptor for dopamine, a hormone and neurotransmitter responsible for different functions such as movement, memory, sleep and motivation.

- A single receptor coupled to different pathways. Most hormone receptors act with a cascade of signaling. This in consequence results in a single receptor interacting with different molecules having multiple effects.

- Hormones interacting with receptors for other molecules. One example is the action of one metabolite of progesterone named allopregnanolone. This metabolite interacts with GABA-A receptor, which gives it anxiolitic properties.
