Answer:

C: Afectan principalmente a nuestro sistema nervioso central

Explanation:

Al ingerir sustancias adictivas, el principal afectado o influenciado es el sistema nervioso. Aunque existen diversas formas de acción de las  sustancias adictivas, en general, éstas actúan afectando el pasaje dopaminérgico.  

La dopamina es un neurotransmisor liberado por el sistema nervioso central que causa sensación de placer. Es conocido como la "hormona del placer" y esta relacionado con la evolución de las adicciones. Las diversas sustancias adictivas alteran el funcionamiento normal del sistema nervioso, provocando un exceso de liberación de dopamina. Esta excesiva sensación de placer al consumir sustancias adictivas es lo que nos lleva a seguir consumiendo, para repetir la experiencia placentera, generando adicción. Al hacerlo, los mecanismos de recompensa del cerebro se ven afectados, siendo la causa del elevado nivel de dopamina en el organismo. Este aumento anormal del neurotransmisor provoca una respuesta de parte del organismo que radica en disminuir la cantidad de receptores dopaminérgicos. Al hacerlo, la persona adictas sienten menos placer y mas necesidad de consumir sustancias, para alcanzar el mismo efecto de euforia o uno incluso superior.

An elephant has a long, powerful trunk. According to the ideas of Lamarck, how did the trait of long, powerful trunks develop in
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Gradually, as generations of elephants continued to selectively use and develop their trunks.

Explanation:

Jean-Baptiste Lamarck was  famous French Naturalist. He was a soldier, a biologist and an academic. He gave an early theory of evolution known as the theory of Lamarckism.

It was Lamarck who first believed that elephants earlier had small trunks. But eventual when there was scarcity of food and water, the elephants stretched out its trunk to reached out for food such as trees and also water. And as a result their offspring inherited long and powerful trunk.

In his theory of Lamarckism, he believed that the species passes on its traits to the offspring which they acquired through their use in their lifetime. In this case, the elephants might have used their trunks in such a way that they became long and strong over time and they passed tis trait to their babies.

Which chromosomal defect is caused when part of a chromosome breaks off and reattaches backward on the same chromosome?
LiRa [457]

The right answer is inversion.

Inversion is a genetic mutation characterized by the end-to-end reversal of a portion of chromatid on a chromosome.

In other words, it is a double break then it is replaced after rotation of 180 ° of a chromosome segment (backward insertion).

We distinguish :

Paracentric inversions:  The centromere in the chromosome is not included in the inversion.

Pericentric inversions:  The centromere is included in the inversion which transforms a metacentric chromosome into an acrocentric chromosome.
