<u>C imprinting</u>

Attachment of newborn babies to mothers is a species typical behavior that has received a lot of attention. Newly hatched ducklings, which walk as soon as they hatch, follow their mother almost immediately. Similar attachment occur in many other species.

The process by which attachment develops is called imprinting. Baby ducklings follow the first large moving object they see after hatching, especially if it makes duck sounds. Normally this is the mother, but if ducklings hatch in an incubator, they will form an attachment to a person, a large, moving orange ball, or almost anything else that is the first large moving object they see.

A large volume of blood is transfused to a person whose baroreceptor blood pressure control system is not functioning. Arterial

Ghella [55]

Answer: The correct answer is : - 2

Explanation: Baroreceptors are pressure receptors. The normal set point is 100 nnHg, which means that when the value is 160 mmHg the gain is 60, when the system is running the value is 120 mmHg that is still above 20 mmHg of the normal set point that It is 100 mmHg. Taking every 20 as a unit, the value of 20 above continues to be 40 below 160 when the system did not work, which equals - 2 which is equal to 40 = 2 (20).

A test organism develops a genetic mutation that causes neurons to develop without synaptic knobs. How will this impact neuronal

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The electrical signal will not be converted into chemical signal.

Explanation:

The synaptic knob is the bulbous enlargement also called synaptic terminal preset at the end of the axon.

The synaptic knob is a living cell and thus contains all the living features but they also contain the vesicles which store the neurotransmitters, therefore, synaptic knob acts as a site which converts the electrical signal into a chemical signal. The released neurotransmitter from the synaptic knob interacts with the post neuron or recipient neuron.

If the mutation develops in the neurons which result in the formation of neurons without synaptic knob therefore the electrical signal will not be converted into a chemical signal and thus signal will stop.
