<span>The myelin sheath allows nerve impulses to propagate very quickly along a nerve's axon to transport the signal between nerve cells. The myelin coating allows the chain reaction of impulses to jump certain distances instead of waiting for the chemical changes to happen at all points on the axon.</span>
Answer:
Bile, informally known as stomach acid, chemically breaks down food early on in the digestive process.
Explanation:
Chewing is the first step in the process of digestion (assuming we are talking about humans and other animals with a similar digestive system) where the food is mechanically/physically broken down.
At the same time, saliva breaks down the food chemically (hence why leaving a simple carb such as bread in your mouth causes it to dissolve over time)
Once you swallow, muscles in the esophagus push the broken-down food to the stomach, where more chemical digestion takes place as a result of bile.
Answer:
No, it is not possible
Explanation:
Humans use the ABO blood group system where the A and B alleles are dominant over allele O but codominant with one another.
This system is such that;
Type A can only have genotype: iAiA or iAi
Type B can only have genotype: iBiB or iBi
Type AB can only have genotype: iAiB
Type O can only have genotype: ii
According to this question, a woman has blood Type A (iAiA or iAi) and her baby has blood Type AB (iAiB). This means that the father definitely contributed the allele B in order to have a baby with type AB. It also means that, according to the question, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR A "Type A" father to produce that baby (see the punnet square attached).
Note: The father must contain an allele B in his genotype i.e. the father must be either type B (iBiB or iBi) or type AB (iAiB)
