A placebo is kind of a "fake" treatment but, typically the person receiving a placebo is unaware it has no medical effect on them so they believe they are feeling better. For example, a lot of anxiety meds are placebos and people don't know so their brain tricks them into thinking they are feeling less anxious. This could be used in experiments where a group believes they are affected to see how they react
Answer:
A basic and a non-invasive test done in pregnancies during the course of 28 weeks of gestation is termed as a fetal non-stress test. It is termed non-stress as no stress is imparted on the fetus while performing the examination. The main objective of the test is to determine the fetus's heart rate at the time of its movement.
In the test, it can be seen that the heart rate of the fetus gets increased each time it moves, which shows that the baby is healthy as the heart rate goes up when it moves and goes down during its resting stage. The principle behind the test is that for proper well-being of the fetus, sufficient oxygen is needed and heart rate should come in normal ranges.
Answer:
D. all of these answers are correct
Explanation:
Actin binding proteins are responsible for the regulation of cytoskeletal microfilaments.
Actin binding proteins have the function to
1. Maintain the population of actin monomers,
2. regulate the polymerization of filaments
3. bind to and block the growing ends of actin filaments
4. assembly actin
5. bind to the sides of actin filaments
7. cross-link actin filaments
Their differences may eventually stop the separated squirrels from breeding with one another this is an example of an Allopatric speciation
Explanation:
In allopatric speciation, species from the same population evolve some different characters due to the differences in geographical locations.
In this scenario, the species become reproductively isolated and diverge.
The mating times of the squirrel have changed due to the environmental changes.
They no longer interbreed and hence no viable offspring thus sexually isolated from each other.
Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
Thyroid is primarily caused by lack of iodine but there are other reasons as well that lead to increased size of the thyroid gland. Some of these reason is
a) over- or underproduction of thyroid hormones
b) Nodules in the glans
Some times, due to overstimulation immune system itself attack the thyroid gland thereby producing excess thyroxine and hence causing the thyroid to swell
Thus, Option A is correct
