Cortisone is a steroid that is applied to the skin to reduce inflammation. Cortisone acts on cells within the dermis and can tra

vel through unbroken epidermis to reach cells in the dermis. If the epidermis is such a good barrier, how can cortisone easily travel through it?

Answer:

Cortisone is a steroid drug which is used to reduce the inflammation or swelling because it inhibits the release of those substance that cause inflammation and it also reduces the immune response.  

The cells in the body have cell membrane which is made up of phospholipid. Membrane absorb those substance easily which are lipid-soluble. So as cortisone is steroid hormone which is lipid-soluble therefore it easily diffuses through the cell membranes and reaches the cells within the dermis.  

Therefore the lipid solubility of cortisone allows it to travel through the epidermis of skin.

solong [7]

Answer:

<u>Option -</u> An open circulatory system inside the adults.

Explanation:

  • A terrestrial animal species is discovered with the following larval characteristics: exoskeleton, system of tubes for gas exchange, and modified segmentation. A knowledgeable zoologist should predict that the adults of this species would also feature <u>an open circulatory system</u>.
  • Most of the invertebrates like the insecticides have the open circulatory system, as the system has no specific pathways for the transportation of the materials and other essential nutrients through the medium but they have a more different mechanism in order to provide the sufficient materials to survive.

arsen [322]

Answer:

E. 1/600

Explanation:

Hint:

The probability of fixation of a new neutral mutation is 1/(2N)

Given N as 300

= 1/(2×300)

=1/600

Therefore,

1/600 gives a sure fixation of one allele from the large population

Imagine that you want to breed a species of rose that has a wonderful smell. You have many different types of roses, but none of
Natalija [7]

Answer: if i want to breed a rose and i don't have a certain kind of rose, i have to cross between them until i have a kind of rose that express the phenotype i was looking for. Once i've got it, i'll try to cross it with another rose and generate more species like that to cross with the rose that express the phenotype, this favors to generate a specie that have a pure phenotype.

Explanation: The answer is explain by the Mendel's laws.

Mendel's second law:

if you have two roses that are heterozygous and you cross them, their offspring have a 25% probability of generating a homozygous phenotype for a certain recessive characteristic (such as the rich smell of roses that is not a dominant character), 50% of generate heterozygotes with a dominant phenotype, and 25% generate other homozygotes with a dominant phenotype.

Once the offspring with the recessive homozygous character are obtained, it is possible to start making crosses between those of a recessive nature and there Mendel's first law applies

All the homozygous recessive individuals that are crossed will have a 100% homozygous recessive offspring.

Also, if you cross heterozygotes with another heterozygotes the offspring will be 100% heterozygotes

How do cells such as algae and protists avoid lysis in fresh water?
charle [14.2K]

The protists were able to avoid lysis by having its function of the contractile vacuole in which it helps in pumping the water which are enough or excess to get it out of the cell. While the algae avoids lysis was because of its cell wall that is rigid in nature.
