Answer:

    Human eyes offer an extensive and beautiful color palette. However, it is well known that eye color is mainly determined for genetic reasons.

   From the color of the parents' eyes to that of the great-grandparents, one can predict what color the eyes of their descendants will be. Nevertheless, you should never forget that there can always be some surprise.

   Certainly, you should know that every human being has two types of genes: dominant and recessive. Both influence the color of the eyes and hair of the individual.

   Dominant genes are the strongest, as they exert the most influence on determining the color of the baby's eyes. On the other hand, recessive genes are weaker but do not cancel each other out. This means that when chromosomes come together after fertilization, one allele will prevail over the other.

    Let's look at the case where the father has blue eyes and the mother brown eyes. In this circumstance, there would be little chance of the child having blue eyes, as the brown phenotype is dominant over blue.

In this case, both parents must have blonde hair & brown eyes & they both carry the recessive gene for blue eyes.

Father:

B b - offers dominant and recessive gene

Mother:

B b - offers dominant and recessive gene

Brown-eyed children

Bb or BB

Quade is studying for an exam, which will cover neurons and action potentials. He has drawn a diagram that shows the segments of
VMariaS [17]

Answer: positive sodium ions

Explanation:

This relates to the Action Potential which is what a nerve cell goes through when it needs to send information down the nerve cell to another cell and so on till it gets to the destination of the message.

The information is transmitted when the segments of the axon fire and when they do, positive sodium ions come in from outside the cell to the inside thereby making the inside positive. The previous segment would return to a resting potential when potassium ions which are negative, rush into the cell.

What is the function of the cell identified with the letter C? Normal adult human blood smear with three different formed elemen
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The leukocyte, commonly known as a white blood cell (or WBC), is a major component of the body’s defenses against disease. Leukocytes protect the body against invading microorganisms and body cells with mutated DNA, and they clean up debris. Platelets are essential for the repair of blood vessels when damage to them has occurred; they also provide growth factors for healing and repair.Although leukocytes and erythrocytes both originate from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow, they are very different from each other in many significant ways. For instance, leukocytes are far less numerous than erythrocytes: Typically there are only 5000 to 10,000 per µL. They are also larger than erythrocytes and are the only formed elements that are complete cells, possessing a nucleus and organelles. And although there is just one type of erythrocyte, there are many types of leukocytes. Most of these types have a much shorter lifespan than that of erythrocytes, some as short as a few hours or even a few minutes in the case of acute infection.

Hope this helps :)

What is El Niño?
Anastasy [175]

El Niño: an irregularly occurring and complex series of climatic changes affecting the equatorial Pacific region and beyond every few years, characterized by the appearance of unusually warm, nutrient-poor water off northern Peru and Ecuador, typically in late December.

La Niña: a cooling of the water in the equatorial Pacific, which occurs at irregular intervals, and is associated with widespread changes in weather patterns complementary to those of El Niño, but less extensive and damaging in their effects.

how they differ: La Niña is sometimes referred to as the cold phase of ENSO and El Niño as the warm phase of ENSO. These deviations from normal surface temperatures can have large-scale impacts not only on ocean processes, but also on global weather and climate. ... Typically, El Niño occurs more frequently than La Niña.
