Answer:
Brachydactyly and Huntington are phenotypic diseases that develop when a person has one or two dominant alleles for these traits.
John's father has the Huntington disease, but not brachydactyly so his genotype is Hh/bb.
John's mother is a healthy women with brachydactyly, so her's genotype is probably hh/BB or hh/Bb.
B) Endocrine disruptors mimic hormones that regulate critical biological processes
Receptors within the highlighted area provide the sense of HEARING.
The highlighted section of the ear is the organ of Corti. The organ of corti is the sensory receptor inside the cochlea, which holds the hair cells, which are the nerve receptors for hearing.
Tetanic contractions might happen, which would lead to the heart to stop pumping
1. Action potential reaches the axon terminal and depolarizes it.
2. Depolarization opens voltage-gated calcium channels, enabling influx of Ca into the neuron.
3. Calcium binds to specialized proteins on vesicles (containing pre-made acetylcholine) and triggers them to fuse with the neuron membrane at the synapse.
4. Exocytosis of acetylcholine into the synaptic cleft occurs.
5. Acetylcholine diffuses across the synapse and binds to nicotinic receptors on the end plate of the myocyte.
6. Activated nicotinic receptors, themselves ion channels, cause cation influx into the myocyte and generate an end plate potential. This eventually gives rise to the full depolarization within the myocyte that enables contraction.
