What is the function of fold and villi

Biology
2 answers:
grigory [225]1 year ago

Answer: Option A.

Explanation:

Villi are the finger like projection present in the surface of small intestine in circular folds.

Villi is the organelle that functions to increase the surface area ( internal surface) of small intestine walls and provide more surface area for absorption. The increased surface area increases absorption of useful nutrients such as amino acid and monosaccherides and that passes into the semipermeable villi with the process of diffusion. Villi decreases the average distance travelled by nutrient molecules due to increased surface area and hence diffusion increases.

Hence, the correct option is A.

Skin color in a certain species of fish is inherited by a single gene with four different alleles. How many different types of g
k0ka [10]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

According to Mendel's law of purity of gametes, each gamete contains single allele for a gene. The alleles of a gene segregate during gamete formation and each gamete has one allele for a gene irrespective of the total number of alleles for a gene.  

If the gene for skin color in a fish species has four alleles, an individuals fish would have only two alleles which in turn would segregate during gamete formation.

Since there are four different alleles of the gene (let's assume a,b,c, and d), total possible gametes produced by this organism will be = 4. A gamete can have one of the total 4 alleles making total 4 types of the gametes each with a or b or c or d allele.

When the body temperature becomes abnormally high, thermoregulatory homeostasis is maintained by __________?
Advocard [28]
Hypothalamus

When there is abnormally high internal temperature, sensors in the Central Nervous System send signals to the hypothalamus.  The hypothalamus initiates thermoregulation by sending messages to various organs and body systems with a various mechanisms. High temperature will set off sweating and vasodilation to cool down the body.

MAXImum [283]
<span>The specific heat of the metal is 0.5 cal/ (0C.g). This means the energy needed is 0.5 cal to raise the heat of 1 gram of metal by 1 degree C. Therefore, the energy needed to raise 100 g of the metal by 20 degrees C is:
0.5 * 20 * 100 = 1000 cal.

If a homozygous black bull is mated with a homozygous white cow and the calf is gray, this could be an example of ___________. H
givi [52]

Answer:

Incomplete dominance

Co-dominance

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel discovered the principles that governs heredity, in which one of them is that an allele called DOMINANT allele, is capable of masking the expression of its variant allele called RECESSIVE allele in a heterozygous state. However, there has been genetic scenarios contrary to this his LAW OF DOMINANCE.

One of those Non-mendelian pattern of inheritance is a phenomenon called INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE, where an allele does not mask the expression of another completely, instead their combined state produces a third intermediate phenotype that is different from both parents. This is the case of the homozygous black bull mated with a homozygous white cow to produce a grey calf. The grey phenotype is an intermediate phenotype of both the black and white colours that forms due to incomplete dominance.

Another genetic scenario is called CO-DOMINANCE, where one allele is neither dominant nor recessive to the other allele, but instead both phenotypes becomes simultaneously expressed in the heterozygous offspring. In this case, the black bull and white cow were mated to form a heterozygous calf with both black and white spots.
