Answer:

Reflexes are not a function of the spinal cord.

Explanation:

The spinal cord is part of the central nervous system and is made up of neurons that go along it (from the end of the brain stem almost to the bottom of the spine).

The spinal cord receives incoming messages from the peripheral nervous system (including the sensory neurons) and pass on messages from the brain to efferent neurons (motor neurons at muscles).

The spinal cord contributes to learning as it passes on the info received from sensory neurons (that there is an obstacle in the path) to the brain and passes on the response from the brain to the muscles (to lift the foot up higher).

The spinal cord is essential for integration as it passes on sensory information  to the brain to determine motor output.

Reflexes are when sensory information is quickly sent straight to motor neurons to move. It does not need to go to the brain (hence does not need to go to the spinal cord) for the reaction as it would be too slow. This is seen when someone who is paraplegic (paralysed at lower torso) can still move their leg in response to the doctor tapping their knee even when they cannot forcibly move their legs.

Therefore reflexes are not a function of the spinal cord.

What would be first three amino acids in the protein formed from this gene? UTC GTU TTG
Andrews [41]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The three amino acid will be Tyrosine, Asparagine and Lysine respectively to sequence.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

UTC GTU TTG

First the thymine in the sequence is changed to A, adenine because in the mRNA only three types of nucleotides are allowed which are Adenine, thymine and Uracil.

So the sequence will be:

UAC GAU AAG

These codons will be read by tRNA producing the polypeptide sequence of amino acids which are as follow:

Tyrosine Asparagine Lysine.

the eastern kingbird hunts by catching flying insects in mid-air, an approach which requires impressive and energetic acrobatic
tangare [24]

It is safe to assume that the eastern kingbird will have a <u>type 2 </u><u>functional response </u><u>to an increase in </u><u>prey abundance</u><u>.</u>

The functional response, in ecology, is a data-based description of the behavior of certain animals' consumption rates in response to a change in prey density. This can be of three kinds:

  • Type 1: An increase in consumption
  • Type 2: A decrease in consumption
  • Type 3:  Decreased consumption, followed by a quick increase.

The Eastern kingbird is likely to follow a <u>type 1 </u><u>functional response</u> to the presence of more prey. The reason for this, aside from it being the most common response, is that the eastern kingbird consumes insects, which do not provide a great amount of energy, in a way that consumes much energy. Therefore it is logical to assume that the kingbird will consume more prey to better sustain its rigorous feeding habits.

Guys helpppppp please and I hope y’all have a great day
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Ok so

Explanation:

1. DNA

2.A , G , C and T

3.The 3-dimensional double helix structure of DNA, correctly elucidated by James Watson and Francis Crick. Complementary bases are held together as a pair by hydrogen bonds.

4.Chargaff's realization that A = T and C = G, combined with some crucially important X-ray crystallography work by English researchers Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins, contributed to Watson and Crick's derivation of the three-dimensional, double-helical model for the structure of DNA.

5.Created by Rosalind Franklin using a technique called X-ray crystallography, it revealed the helical shape of the DNA molecule. Watson and Crick realized that DNA was made up of two chains of nucleotide pairs that encode the genetic information for all living things.

6. 1869

7.The double helix of DNA is, like its name implies, in the shape of a helix which is essentially a three dimensional spiral. The double comes from the fact that the helix is made of two long strands of DNA that are intertwined—sort of like a twisted ladder.

8. In DNA, the code letters are A, T, G, and C, which stand for the chemicals adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine, respectively. In base pairing, adenine always pairs with thymine, and guanine always pairs with cytosine.

9. A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA. Some genes act as instructions to make molecules called proteins. ... Every person has two copies of each gene, one inherited from each parent.

10. 20

11. A group of disorders that cause red blood cells to become misshapen and break down.

With sickle cell disease, an inherited group of disorders, red blood cells contort into a sickle shape. The cells die early, leaving a shortage of healthy red blood cells (sickle cell anaemia) and can block blood flow causing pain (sickle cell crisis).

12. Sickle cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the gene that tells your body to make the iron-rich compound that makes blood red and enables red blood cells to carry oxygen from your lungs throughout your body (hemoglobin).

13. The Human Genome Project was an international scientific research project with the goal of determining the base pairs that make up human DNA, and of identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome from both a physical and a functional standpoint.

I'm so absolutely sorry if this is long. Good lucj with ur work ;D
