Since the Pitx1 gene codes for a protein crucial im lower limns development, a mutation occurring near Pitx1 gene will affect refikjs around the lower limbs but not those far away from it.

<h3>What are mutations?</h3>

Mutations refers to alterations or error that occur which change the original sequence of nucleotides in a DNA molecule.

The Pitx1 gene is a gene that codes for a protein that involved in development of the lower limbs.

A mutation near but outside of the coding region of Pitx1 may cause a loss of pelvic fins without pleiotropic effects on the pituitary gland and jaw because the pelvic fins form part of the lower limbs whole the jaws and the pituitary gland are not found in the lower limbs.

Therefore, the mutation occurring near Pitx1 gene will affect regions around the lower limbs but not those far away from it.

Which one of the following statements is true? A. Voluntary hyperventilation results in acidosis. B. Emphysema directly impairs
AlekseyPX

Answer:

The correct answer is option E.

Explanation:

Voluntary hyperventilation results in alkalosis, not in acidosis. Alkalosis takes place when the body possesses too many bases. It can take place due to decreased levels of carbon dioxide or due to enhanced level of bicarbonates in the blood, that is, a base.  

Emphysema directly impairs exhalation more than it directly impairs inhalation. Emphysema refers to a lung disorder, which leads to shortness of breath. In the individuals suffering from the condition, the air sacs in the lungs, that is, alveoli get damaged.  

The hemoglobin-oxygen dissociation curve shifts to the right at the time of metabolic acidosis. The low partial pressure of oxygen within the lungs results in the constriction of pulmonary arterioles. Thus, all the mentioned statements are false.
