Function of the rod cellsResponsible for vision at low light levels

Biology
2 answers:
Darina [25.2K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Rods are responsible for vision at low light levels (scotopic vision). They do not mediate color vision, and have a low spatial acuity. Cones are active at higher light levels (photopic vision), are capable of color vision and are responsible for high spatial acuity. The central fovea is populated exclusively by cones.

Answer:

There are 3 types of cones which we will refer to as the short-wavelength sensitive cones, the middle-wavelength sensitive cones and the long-wavelength sensitive cones or S-cone, M-cones, and L-cones for short.

The light levels where both are operational are called mesopic.

Which of the following does NOT describe the macronucleus of a paramecium?
ololo11 [35]
D. The macronucleus does not disintegrate during conjugation.

The macronucleus contains the working copies of genes needed to support an enormous cell. It is formed by a division of the fused diploid nucleus after conjugation followed by multiple rounds of internal gene replication which does not occurs in the micronucleus.

2. Describe the problem that McClintock suggested Harriet Creighton solve.
harina [27]

Answer:

'Cross experiments done by Morgan, illustrating the X-inheritance link of a mutation Thomas Hunt Morgan moved intensely in a program of breeding and crossing miles of fruit flies at New York University in a room that was renamed the Fourth of the Flies. He tried to mutate the flies with various means (X-rays, centrifuges, etc.) .The fruit fly which has 4 pairs of chromosomes. One of those pairs was identified as containing X and Y sex chromosomes. He applied Mendelian principles in flies. Morgan's inheritance study demonstrated inheritance linked to sex, and is one of the first evidences that confirm the chromosomal theory of cross-based inheritance. In 1909, Morgan detected a fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) with a strange mutation which he called "white eyes", due to the coloration of his eyes (contrary to normal, which is red). Analyzing this fly under the microscope Morgan discovered that it was a male, and could use it as a stallion so that he could observe how the new characteristic of white eyes would pass from generation to generation.All the offspring of this cross will have red eyes, which He made Morgan suspect that something strange had happened, since the color of the father's eyes could not have disappeared. He decided to take a couple of "daughters flies" and cross them together, just to see what happened. Morgan's surprise was very great, observing that among the "granddaughters" flies only males had white eyes. The problem then was to explain what had happened during the hereditary transmission for the color of the white eyes only the males possessed. .
