Which factor plays a central role in determining which of the brain's synapses will be eliminated and which will be maintained?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "frequency with which they are activated".

Explanation:

Frequency refers to the number of consecutive repetitive events per unit time. It is measured in hertz (Hz), equivalent to a single event per second. The time is the number of one cycle in a recurrent event, and so the duration is the same for the frequency, hence the frequency at which they are triggered is a key determinant of the brain's connections to be eliminated and maintained.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is -

variation, over population and adaption.

Explanation:

Natural selection is the process to which the various species and populations are able to adapt and change according the environmental changes. It is affected by three main factors that are variation, over population and adaption.

Variation: varion is one of the factor that pushes the population to change towards the beneficial variation in the population for their survivability and reproducing theirselves.

Overpopulation: over population increases the competition amon population and there fore there resources become limited so few have to change or their ways of utilizing resources.

Adaption: Adapting the change takes place due to any situation in environmental that put stress on the population allow them to adapt according the change or they will extinct.

In Osmosis, a cell becomes turgid when it:
A. expands from absorbing too much water.
B. bursts from absorbing too much water.
C. bursts from absorbing too much water.
D. contracts from absorbing too much water.

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

This occurs when a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution.A solution were the external solution concentration is less than the internal concentration of the cell, causing water to rush into the cell.

During osmosis by absorbing too much water from outside the cell, a cell becomes turgid. The correct option is A.

What is osmosis?

Osmosis is the passage of water molecules via a cell's partially permeable membrane from a solution with a large concentration of water molecules to a solution with a lower concentration of water molecules.

Osmosis occurs when the concentration gradient of water reaches zero or when the water's hydrostatic pressure equals the osmotic pressure.

Endosmosis and exosmosis are the two main types of osmosis that occur when water moves across the cell membrane. When cells are placed in a hypotonic solution, endosmosis occurs, which is the movement of water into the cell.

When cells are placed in a hypotonic solution, exosmosis occurs, which is the movement of water out of the cell.

Thus, the correct option is A.

Which statement about inheritance is true?
Girls get most of their traits from their moms; boys get most of their traits from their dads.
Male offspring will always have an X-linked genetic disease if the mom is a carrier.
Fathers always determine the gender of the offspring in humans.
Males never have Y chromosomes.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is the third statement.

Explanation:

In humans, the males possess one X and one Y chromosome, while the females possess two X chromosomes. Thus, the female always donates X chromosome to the gamete. In any case, the female always generates a similar kind of gamete. While the male either pass X or the Y chromosome to the progeny.  

When the gamete with the X chromosome combines with the female gamete than the offspring would possess XX chromosomes and will be a female. On the other hand, when the gamete comprising the Y chromosome combines with the female gamete than the offspring would possess the XY chromosome and will be a male. Thus, it is the father who determines the gender of the offspring.

Wrong answersGirls get most of their traits from their moms; boys get most of their traits from their dads.

This is wrong. Parents gender does not affect traits passed on.

Males never have Y chromosomes.

This is wrong, Males have to have a Y chromosome. (XY)

Male offspring will always have an X-linked genetic disease if the mom is a carrier.

This is wrong. The male offspring have a 50/50 chance if the mother is a carrier, if she has the deseace than all the sons will have the decease.

Correct answerFathers always determine the gender of the offspring in humans.

This is because the mom is XX and the dad is XY. The mom gives the X in the gene, and the dad gives the X for daughters (X,X) and gives the sons a Y (X,Y) Males are always XY.

If the mom is a carrier, h,  then it will get passed down  50% of the time, and when it gets passed down to the males, they wiill have the deseace. If the mom passes the deacease down to the daughters, 50% will be a carrier too if the dad does not have the deseace. If the dad has the deacease, than 50% of the daughters will have the deacease, and the other 50% will be carrier, and still, 50% of the sons will have the deacease, while the other 50% will be completely clean. So in total 25% of the offspring will be a carrier, 50% will have the deacease, and the other 25% will not have the deacease or be a carrier.  

What are the possible phenotypes of the children if the mother has Type O blood and the father has type AB blood

Answers

Answer:

Type A

Type B

Explanation:

Blood type in humans is controlled by a gene with multiple alleles. Alleles iA and iB are dominant over allele i but are codominant. This means that the following genotypes will give rise to the phenotypes as follows:

iAiA or iAi - type A

iBiB or iBi - type B

iAiB - type AB

ii - type O

According to this question, if a mother with Type O (ii) blood and a father with type AB (iAiB) blood are crossed, the following offsprings will be likely produced:

iAi, iAi, iBi, iBi

iAi - type A

iBi - type B

Hence, the possible phenotypes of the children will be type A and type B blood.

Cigarette smoke contains carbon monoxide. Explain how this
would affect the normal functioning of red blood cells in a person who
smokes cigarettes.

Answers

Answer: Carbon Monoxide is a very harmful and toxic gas which is formed from incomplete combustion of carbon.

Explanation: red blood cells contain haemoglobin ,which are responsible for carrying oxygen into our body system. So oxygen combines with haemagoblin to form oxyhaemogoblin in the red blood cells .

so if a person starts to intake cigarettes which contain high amounts of carbon monoxide ,it reduces oxyhaemogoblin formation because it binds very tightly to the haemogoblin .then carboxyhaemogoblin is formed and its permanent so causing reduction in aerobic respiration, and reduction in oxygen transport and causing damages to heart muscles.

Microorganisms are classified as bacteria, fungi, protozoa and algae. Viruses are
not explicitly categorized as microorganisms. Give reason.

Answers

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Because they have both living and non living characteristics so it is hard to classify them as they posses living characteristics as reproduction and others when inside the host and posses non living characteristics when outside the host

In microorganisms micro means small and organism means living ones, so those living ones which are not seen without the help of a microscope, are microorganism.

What are viruses?

Viruses are obligate parasites and are very small in size. Viruses cannot live outside the host cells as they require host cell gene expression machinery to divide and perform metabolic reactions. Viruses remain inactive in the environment until found the host cells.

As viruses cannot qualify the criteria of living beings because they cannot survive separately in the evnironment,  that's why cannot be considered living organisms.

Mostly microorganisms are single-celled organisms like bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Viruses are not considered microorganisms because they are nonliving outside the host body.

PLEASE HELP!!! Give two forms of evidence for evolution that can be found in the fossil record (where animals have changed from simple to more complex.)

Answers

Answer:

Forms of fossil records can inlude the carcasses of animals and the structure of plants. These records can compare the advancements of creatures over a long period of time.

Explanation:

The further an animal or plant is burried underneath the soil, it is most likely that it lived much longer ago than a layer above it. The theory of evolution suggests that animals are always changing and adapting to their surroundings. For instance, millions of years ago, a dog like mamal existed but over time they grew accustomed to the water, developing fins flippers and eventually developed features similar to what we expect in whales today.

Plants, on the other hand, may have been much larger than the size they are today due to the excess of oxygen present in the atmosphere. Therefore, when they are fossilized scientists can realize that plants have come a long way in the tree of evolution.

Why do biologists classify

Answers

Answer:

Biologists classify organisms because:

Classification allows us to understand diversity better.  It helps in the identification of living organisms as well as in understanding the diversity of living organisms. Classification helps us to learn about different kinds of plants and animals, their features, similarities and differences. It enables us to understand how complex organisms develop from simpler organisms.  They are grouped under different categories to understand and study the features, similarities and differences between different living organisms. It is essential to understand the inter-relationships among the different groups of organisms. Classification forms a base for the development of other biological sciences.

Human bite wounds are blunt wounds, sometimes with partial or total avulsion (ear, lips, nose, hands) and with intense contamination. An avulsion is a complete tear of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. It does not allow the approximation of edges. It presents moderate to abundant hemorrhage and is accompanied by the exposure of underlying tissues (bone, tendon). The tear can be complete or partial; in the latter case, a connection or bridge is preserved between the torn tissue and the rest of the body.

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS QUESTION PLEASE HELPThe aim of opinion writing, or persuasive writing, is to have your reader agree with your opinion/ point of view by the time they finish reading your work. This is a chance to use your persuasive skills, and your writing expertise to convince them that your stance on a particular issue or topic is the right one. This can be anything from your favourite ice cream flavour (mint chocolate chip!) to the political party you support. There are 3 main ways to frame your written arguments (or reasons) that will change your readers mind: 1. Logic: using reason or common sense is one way of helping to prove why your stance on a particular issue is the right one. For example, if I wanted to persuade you that mint chocolate chip was the best ice cream flavour (it definitely is), I might say that when you eat it, you feel refreshed, which is the exact feeling you want on a hot summer day. The logic of wanting to feel refreshed on a hot summer day is the logical argument I used to make my point. 2. Emotion: pulling at the heartstrings of your audience, or "hitting them in the feels" as the kids say, is another very effective way to persuade someone to agree with you. As an example, think of the ads that you see on TV for the SPCA, or to donate money to a cause from a developing country. Showing the sad faces of pets and children make the audience feel emotional; upset and guilty, so we pick up the phone to donate. 3. Expertise: being able to speak with authority/expertise on a specific topic, is the final way to form an argument. If you are someone who does a lot of gaming, and you are trying to tell me which video game is the best in terms of quality and overall experience, I would be inclined to believe you since you know a lot about the gaming community and would be able to give accurate information. Now that we know more about the specific ways you can argue/persuade/defend your opinion on any given topic, let's try out our new skill! Below are some questions where I will ask you to pick ONE of two things. Your task is to tell me which one is better, and WHY. For example, use persuasive writing to tell me why Coke is better than Pepsi. Once you have done this, reread your writing and tell me if your argument was one of logic, emotion, or expertise.
