Darwin's finches are often used to illustrate evolution. Evaluate the finch beaks shown in the picture. Choose ALL of the statem

ents that correctly explain the evolution of finch beaks.
A) As the environment changed, the finches grew longer beaks to allow them to get food out of fruits.

B) Finches with longer beaks settled on the same island with smaller beaked birds. Over time, they bred, producing medium beaked birds that became more common in the population.

C) There are finches with different types of beaks in the population. During a drought, those with shorter beaks are not able to find sufficient food and die, leaving them unable to reproduce and pass the trait on to offspring.

D) A random mutation introduced the shorter, thicker beak into the population. However, those with thinner, longer beaks were better able to get nectar from the island's flowers. Those birds with the shorter, thicker beaks were unable to get enough food to survive.

E) A disease swept through the island killing many of the insects that were common on the island, leaving the birds who ate insects from the ground starving. The finches that had thicker beaks and could get food from tree bark were able to continue to survive and reproduce, increasing this trait in the population.

Which neurotransmitter prepares the body for "fight or flight" and is seen in increased levels in patients with anxiety-related
Alika [10]

The neurotransmitter in the body which prepares it for "fight or flight" reaction is EPINEPHRINE. The level of Epinephrine is remarkably high in patients who have anxiety-related disorders. Also known as adrenalin or adrenaline, epinephrine is a hormone and at the same time a neurotransmitter; it is also used as medication.

Meiosis Foldable Activity 515.2
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Explanation:

During the process of prophase I, the nuclear envelope containing chromosomes has only partly broken down homologous chromosomes are joined together by proteins and a complex or pairing call synapsis- corresponding genes on sister chromatids are aligned precisely.

The syanapsis allows for crossing over which is the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined.

Further Explanation:

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. In meiosis, the number of chromosomes (2n) is halved to 23 chromosomes (haploid number)through meiotic divisions, producing 4 haploid (n) germ cells or gametes (sperm or eggs), each containing half the number of chromosomes as its parent cell.

In Meiosis I

  • homologs pair off into bivalents
  • At crossing over: the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined in prophase I  forming bivalents; tetrads are formed.
  • Spindle fibers from centrioles join sister chromatids together at their centromeres in metaphase I, pulling them to the equator of the cell;
  • then, in anaphase I, while joined, they are pulled to opposite sides of the cell; the cell body splits and the nuclear envelope reforms in telophase I

In Meiosis II...

  • Later, in prophase II, the nuclear envelope disintegrates and mitotic spindle fibers are formed
  • independent assortment occurs. in metaphase II of meiosis: spindle fibers attach to centromeres, chromatids align independently at the equator. Genes segregate independently into new combinations as sister chromatids are pulled apart by their centromeres in anaphase II
  • in telophase II the cells' nuclei and membrane are then formed with each containing the haploid number (n)
  • Following the formation of gametes in the last stage, randomized fertilization occurs in sexual reproduction sperm cells fertilize an ovum to form a zygote. This occurs randomly by chance, to result in a complete set of chromosomes 2n, that is a novel combination of half each parent's number of chromosomes

Can anyone explain the role of the neurotransmitters in the synapse?
Ipatiy [6.2K]
Our nervous system runs on chemical synapses ! that means we need chemical to transfer information from one neuron to another !

so when the signal reaches the synaptic knob of one neuron , it stimulates the neurotransmitters containing vacuoles to release the neurotransmitters !

the neurotransmitters may be dopamine, acetylcholine etc and after reaching the dendrites of other neuron, it stimulates signal in the other neuron and thus a signal travel from one part of body to other !
