Biology
1 answer:
Vladimir [108]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A research study by Dr. Tony Allison proved that there was a connection between infectious parasitic disease, malaria and genetic disease, sickle cell anemia. As the malarial parasite was more common in East Africa, hence sickle cell became more prevalent in Est Africa.  After collecting  samples, Dr. Tony Allison found that children carrying the sickle  cell allele had a lower parasite count, as if they were  partially protected against malaria.

3. Why were germinating seeds used instead of dormant (non-<br> germinating) seeds?
disa [49]

Answer:

An important function of seed dormancy is delayed germination, which allows dispersal and prevents simultaneous germination of all seeds. ... Many species of plants have seeds that delay germination for many months or years, and some seeds can remain in the soil seed bank for more than 50 years before germination.

Pain receptors are free nerve endings that respond to tissue damage and display sensory adaptation true or false
ANEK [815]
False.

Pain receptors are free nerve endings- nociceptors- that are stimulated by the chemical released from damaged tissue.
These receptors alert us for possible danger but they don't display sensory adaptation. Sensory adaptation it's when the response to stimulus decreases even though the stimulus is the same, we just become unaware of it.
In pain sensations, that doesn't happen.
