Answer:

The Caenorhabditis elegans dauer state is a hibernation-like state of diapause that displays a dramatic reduction in spontaneous locomotion.

Explanation:

Mutations affecting the neurotransmitter dopamine, which regulates voluntary movement in many organisms, can stimulate movement in dauers. The movement of quiescent animals is stimulated by conditions that reduce dopamine signaling and also by conditions predicted to increase dopamine signaling.The stimulation of movement by increased dopamine is much more pronounced in quiescent daf-2(−) dauer and dauer-like adult animals.

In C. elegans hermaphrodites, dopamine is produced by eight neurons and signals via at least four dopamine receptors, DOP-1 through DOP-4. In addition, a presynaptic reuptake transporter, DAT-1, removes dopamine from the extracellular space to terminate signaling. In C. elegans, dopamine is best known for mediating the “basal slowing response” in which the animal's movement slows when it encounters food..  Dopamine is thought to be released in response to food and to act on motor neurons to modulate the animal's movement . Animals that cannot produce dopamine fail to slow in response to food and exogenous dopamine slows the movement of animals cultured without food.The response to dopamine in this situation is complex, as the absence of specific dopamine receptors can have either positive or negative effects on movement.

<h2>Answer 1:</h2>

The gravitational force is a force that attracts any objects with mass. Gravity, or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light are brought toward one another.

Answer 2:

Gravity keeps things together. It is a force that attracts matter towards it. Anything with mass creates gravity, but the amount of gravity is proportional to the amount of mass.

Gravitational force is critical to our universe because with out gravitational force we cannot walk on earth, all the matter on earth cannot stay on it with out gravity. Everything will start floating in air with out gravity.

<h2>Answer 3:</h2>

Gravity is the powerful force that glues our universe together.

  1. One of the most noticeable effects of gravity in the solar system is the orbit of the planets.
  2. The planet keeps moving but is always caught up in the push-pull forces caused by the interaction of these gravitational forces. As a result, the planet begins orbiting the sun.
  3. The same phenomenon causes the moon to orbit around the Earth except its the Earth's gravitational force not the sun's that keeps it moving around us.

Ludmilka [50]
ANSWER:
50% or 2/4
EXPLANATION:
E is a dominant trait and with a dominant E in the offspring it is not attached so half of the offspring would have non-attached earlobes and half would have attached earlobes.

Which of the following is TRUE regarding meiosis?
Elden [556K]
C

Explanation


Meiosis 2 is similar to mitosis because it separates the chromosomes to have sister chromatids in each cell. In both processes, you are separating the chromosome and dividing the cell to make 2 cells out of 1 (the only difference is that in meiosis, you're doing that for 2 cells to get 4).
