Allele that causes yellow eyes (Y) is dominant over the allele that causes orange eyes (y)

Y = 85% = 0.85 and

y = 100% - 85% = 15% = 0.15

f(y) = square root of y = √y = √0.15 = 0.387

frequency of the allele that causes orange eyes = 0.387

Once we know the value of y, Y + y = 1

Putting the value of y, we get

Y = 1 – 0.387

<span>Frequency of the dominant allele that causes yellow eyes = 0.61</span>

Fibrous joints are held together by?
Ugo [173]
⭐️The answer is ⭐️


Fibrous joints are connected by dense connective tissue consisting mainly of collagen. These joints are also called fixed or immovable joints because they do not move. Fibrous joints have no joint cavity and are connected via fibrous connective tissue. The skull bones are connected by fibrous joints called sutures.

A gel electrophoresis migration pattern displaying polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products shows four strong bands. The lengths
dangina [55]

Answer:

D) The encoded protein contains four repeats of a specific sequence.

Explanation:

The polymerase chain reaction is a technique used to replicate or amplify the amount of DNA sample.

The technique employs running the DNA samples on the gel through which the DNA samples run based on their sizes.

The large-sized DNA fragment runs to a less distance whereas the small-sized DNA run to a large distance.

In the given question, four sizes of DNA bands are formed in the ratio of  1:2:3:4 which shows that the proteins encoded by this DNA have four repeats of a specific sequence of the template strand. This was confirmed when the largest band sample was again used as a sample of PCR and the PCR resulted in the four bands in similar  1:2:3:4.  

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.

In the male reproductive system, the pituitary hormone _____ stimulates Leydig cells to secrete testosterone, and the pituitary
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

<u>Luteinizing hormone </u>(LH) stimulates Leydig cells to secrete testosterone

<u>Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)</u> stimulates Sertoli cells to secrete protein and other molecules required for spermatogenesis

Explanation:

Under the influence of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, the anterior pituitary releases luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). In males, LH stimulates interstitial cells of testes (Leydig cell) to secrete the hormone testosterone. FSH acts indirectly to stimulate spermatogenesis by causing the release of androgen-binding protein (ABP) from the Sertoli cells. The function of ABP is to maintain the higher concentrations of testosterone to stimulate the final steps of spermatogenesis in the seminiferous tubules.

Which situations would be most likely to engage the anterior cingulate cortex?
maria [59]

Answer:

Which of the following situations would be most likely to engage the anterior cingulate cortex?

A waiter walks over to your table at a restaurant and holds an open menu in front of you.

You walk into the elevator of your apartment building and press the button for your floor.

You enter your classroom and find someone sitting in your usual seat.

A good friend asks you to remind him of your telephone number.

Explanation:

In order to meet the demand of the surrounding environment   by adjusting  the  motor outputs from the brain to the environments ,a part of the emotion control part of the brain( limbic system) called the anterior cingulate cortex is responsible for this.

Anatomically, the limbic system is made up of the primarily the amygdala, hippocampus, thalamus, hypothalamus, basal ganglia and cingulate gyrus.

Based on the this its(anterior cingulate cortex) functions are formation of emotion in the limbic system, and  possessing  of memory and learning.

it is also a major  parts of  of pain networks for pain modulation and perception.

Therefore whenever there is  change in the environment  from the prestored condition in the brain,(e.g the usual seat  in the class room  occupied above) the anterior cingulate cortex adjust the motor input from the brain to adapt to the new environment to take an action,whih in this case  leads to the reclaiming of the seat or any other necessary proactive action.
