5 0

Answer:

No; only a small percentage of mutations cause genetic disorders—most have no impact on health or development. For example, some mutations alter a gene's DNA sequence but do not change the function of the protein made by the gene.

Which of the following statements is FALSE?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

c. Damage to the primary (somatic) motor cortex results in the loss of both voluntary muscle control and all reflexive contractions.

Explanation:

The primary motor cortex is an area in the brain that is responsible for the control and regulation of activities that involves movement of the body as well as the postures they body takes which we also refer to as motor skills.

The primary motor cortex sends signals in the form of nerve impulses to the brain and this in turn helps in the maintenance of the motor skills that is carried out by the body.

Not only does the damage to the primary (somatic) motor cortex results in the loss of both voluntary muscle control and all reflexive contractions, it also causes other losses such as constant contraction of the muscles also know as spasticity, involuntary muscle contraction also referred to as clonus.

Which of the following is UNLIKELY to affect bone remodeling?
S_A_V [24]

Glucagon

This is a hormone that deals with blood sugar homeostasis. When blood sugar levels are low, glucagon is produced to convert the fats in the reserve back to glucose until normal levels are achieved.

Explanation:

Bone remodeling involves coordinations of osteoclasts and osteoblasts cells in the bone. The former breaks down bone tissue while the latter mineralizes bones. Calcium is the main ion in the body significant in mineralization of bone. Excess Ca2+ is stored in bone while low calcium levels in blood result in bone resorption.  

Stress on a bone also causes increased mineralization to strengthen the bone against this stress. This is why astronauts when they go to space, due to less stress from low gravity, bone loses its mass. When they return back to earth, the bone readjusts to the increased stress from higher gravity by increased mineralization.

The hormone responsible for bone homeostasis is parathyroid hormone.
