Local anesthetics, like lidocaine and novocaine, reduce the perception of pain by:. A. blocking transmission of impulses from the spinal cord to thalamus B. preventing the formation of nerve impulses in the first-order sensory neuron C. reducing the transmission of impulses from thalamus to cortex D. inhibiting the stimulus from activating the receptor

What evidence did mendel find that supported his law of independent assortment? a. some traits are controlled by several different genes. b. a trait can be passed on from a parent to an offspring. c. most traits have a dominant form and a recessive form. d. different traits are passed on independently of each other.

You will create a molecular clock model for an arthropod gene. follow these guidelines to make your model: . your timeline will span from 90 million years ago to the present. the common ancestor in your model is an arthropod that lived 90 million years ago. the gene that you'll track codes for a protein in the species venom . the dna sequence youll track contains 10 nitrogen bases. you can choose the order of the bases and where the mutations occur. this gene mutates at a rate of approximately 0.76 base pairs every 17.1 million years. to build your model,/ calculate the estimated time period it takes for 1 base pair to mutate. the first time period will only show the common ancestor. at the beginning of the second time period, three lineages will diverge from the common ancestor, each with a different mutation in their gene sequences. the first and third descendant species will survive for the rest of the timeline. the second descendant species was extinct 50 million years ago. calculate how long it will take for one full base pair mutation to occur. explain your reasoning by constructing a mathematical equation

High blood pressure occurs when there is too much blood flowing through the blood vessels at one time. by changing the amount of water in the blood, blood pressure can change. the excretory system can to lower blood pressure. which would most likely occur in the kidney? a)more water would be transferred from the nephron. b)less water would be absorbed into the nephron. c)the amount of water in the bladder would decrease. d)the amount of water in the blood would increase.
