Answer;

-Sympathetic nervous system

After cheering wildly at an exciting football game your body may begin to relax on the way home. This relaxation reflects activity of the sympathetic nervous system.

Explanation;

The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomic nervous system, which also includes the parasympathetic nervous system.

The sympathetic nervous system activates what is often termed the fight or flight response. Like other parts of the nervous system, the sympathetic nervous system operates through a series of interconnected neurons. Sympathetic neurons are frequently considered part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS), although there are many that lie within the central nervous system

The bony landmark that <span>can be felt and seen, and is commonly used to help determine where to give an intramuscular injection on the lateral surface of the thigh is called <u>the greater trochanter.
</u>
<u />The illiac crest is found on the pelvis, the lateral epicondyle is in the arm, and the remaining options are too small to be felt and seen. So the correct answer has to be the greater trochanter found on the femur, or the thigh bone.<u>

100 individuals whose genetic makeup is composed of 20% recessive alleles join an established population. The established popula
NeX [460]

Answer:

population = 600

heterozygotes = 2pq

The homozygous recessive percentage = q^{2}

q = 0.1

Solve for q:

∴ q = \sqrt{q}

∴ q = \sqrt{0.10}

∴ q = 0.316

solve for p:

for p + q = 1,

thus p = 1 – q = 1 – 0.316 = 0.684  

The heterozygotes = 2pq

2pq =  2 x 0.316 x 0.684 = 0.432

600 x 0.432 = 259.2  = 259

so,  the population reaches Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, 259 of indviduals should be heterozygous for this trait.

Hence, the correct answer is 259 .
