Answer:

<u> C) Each type of sensory receptor responds only to the stimulus that defines the receptor</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

Neurons,  specialized cells within the nervous system. These help with coordinated movement ad communication within the body through the transmission of electrical signals.

Sensory receptors are highly specialized neurons. These are able to detect various chemical and physical stimuli, and are classified by their ability to detect certain stimuli such as:

  • photoreceptors
  • mechanoreceptors
  • chemoreceptors
  • thermoreceptors

Sensory receptors respond to certain intensities of stimuli, instead of one specific stimulus. e.g. Mechanoreceptors within the skin can respond to pressure changes due to touch, but may also detect sound due to specific vibrations.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

The correct options are B "The unusual F1 female is heterozygous for a reciprocal balanced translocation involving the chromosome with the apricot, bristle and clipped loci" and D "Independent assortment of non-compatible chromosome structures (i.e., translocated and normal chromosomes segregating together) in the F1 female led to the 90 eggs that aborted development"

Explanation:

The unexpected results obtained earlier can be attributed to the two factors listed above. At the time when meisois takes place, there is the process of independent assortment which leads to formation of zygotes. Due to the event of translocation, the eggs produced lacked some critical development genes.

What cellular process(es) is/are responsible for the increase in protein content associated with the gap phases of the cell cycl
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Protein/enzyme synthesis

Explanation:

<em>The process of synthesis of protein in the cell is mainly responsible for the increase in the protein content of the cell.</em>

<em>The process which is also known as the translation process of gene expression takes place at the G1 and G2 phases of the interphase of the cell cycle.</em>

During protein synthesis, mRNA synthesized in the nucleus are transported to the cytoplasm and the genetic codes on the mRNA are translated into their respective amino acids linked together by polypeptide bonds. The protein are then folded in specific ways for specific enzymes.
