Answer:

Explanation:

Molecular biology has enabled the identification of the mechanisms whereby inactive myostatin increases skeletal muscle growth in double-muscled (DM) animals. Myostatin is a secreted growth differentiation factor belonging to the transforming growth factor-β superfamily. Mutations make the myostatin gene inactive, resulting in muscle hypertrophy. The relationship between the different characteristics of DM cattle are defined with possible consequences for livestock husbandry. The extremely high carcass yield of DM animals coincides with a reduction in the size of most vital organs. As a consequence, DM animals may be more susceptible to respiratory disease, urolithiasis, lameness, nutritional stress, heat stress and dystocia, resulting in a lower robustness. Their feed intake capacity is reduced, necessitating a diet with a greater nutrient density. The modified myofiber type is responsible for a lower capillary density, and it induces a more glycolytic metabolism. There are associated changes for the living animal and post-mortem metabolism alterations, requiring appropriate slaughter conditions to maintain a high meat quality. Intramuscular fat content is low, and it is characterized by more unsaturated fatty acids, providing healthier meat for the consumer. It may not always be easy to find a balance between the different disciplines underlying the livestock husbandry of DM animals to realize a good performance and health and meat quality.

Anna [14]

The importance of conservation of habitats is that habitat conservation protects biodiversity in the region.

<h3>Conservation of habitats</h3>

Habitat can be defined as an environment that is made up of resources that are used by a particular organism.

There are different types of habitat which include:

aquatic habitat,

terrestrial habitat and

arboreal habitat.

These habitats needs to be conserved to maintain biodiversity which is an essential part of global food security.

Match the following organs and organ systems. 1.digestive system brain 2.central nervous system tracheal system 3.respiratory sy

Amiraneli [1.4K]

The correct macthing of the organs with their organ systems is as follows.

1. Digestive system - intestines.

2. Central nervous system - brain.

3. Respiratory system - tracheal system.

4. Excretory system - bladder.

Digestive system is made up of the alimentary canal consisting of the digestive organs and the glands. Among the digestive organs, the intestines play a major role in the process of digestion. The small intestine is the site of complete digestion which is associated with the pancreas and liver. The large intestine is involved the absorption of water from the digested food and remaining waste material is stored and thrown out of the body during defecation.

The central nervous system is made up of the brain and the spinal cord. The brain makes the largest part and the functional of the central nervous system. It controls most of the activities of the body. It is made up of three parts called the cerebrum, cerebellum and medualla oblongata and is protected by the skull.

The respiratory system is divided into the upper respiratory tract consisting of the nasal cavity, pharynx and larynx, and the lower respiratory tract consisting of the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles and the alveoli. The trachea or the wind pipe is a cylindrical tube infront of the oesophagus, supported by 16-20 C-shaped hyaline cartilage. It serves as a passage for air to move in and out of the lungs.

The excretory system is made up of a pair of kidneys, a pair of ureters, an urinary bladder and an urethra. The urine produced by the kidney flows through the ureters and is collected in the urinary bladder. A spinchter (a ring of muscle) guards the opening of the bladder into the urethra and relaxes only at the time of urination under the impulse from the brain.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. helps process explicit memories for storage.

Explanation:

The hippocampus is an structure of the brain and is located inside the temporal lobe. The main function of the hippocampus is to mediate the generation and recovery of memories in conjunction with many areas spread across the cortex and with other areas of the limbic system. It helps to process and recover the episodic memory (those related to events) and spatial memory (mode in which we perceive space or dimensions). This organ is also where short-term memories become long-term memories, that is, it acts as a mediator of memories, acting as an activation node that allows different memories distributed across different parts of the brain to be activated.
