Stolb23 [73]2 years ago
8 0

Atherosclerosis refers to the build-up of fats and cholesterol in the walls of blood vessels (Option A).

<h3>What is atherosclerosis?</h3>

Atherosclerosis is a disease characterized by the build-up of fats and cholesterol in the walls of blood vessels.

This build-up of fats narrows the blood vessels, thereby difficulting the movement of blood in the bloodstream.

The symptoms of atherosclerosis include, among others, chest pain, shortness of breath and fatigue.

Which statement is true about DNA?
klasskru [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

The DNA double helix acts as a template for its own duplication. Because the nucleotide A will successfully pair only with T, and G only with C, each strand of DNA can serve as a template to specify the sequence of nucleotides in its complementary strand (more.

Is it possible for plant breeders to develop a true-breeding pink-flowered snapdragon?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

Pink flower colour in snapdragon is as a result of incomplete dominance. The pink flower colour has no allele in nature. Instead, the pink colour results from incomplete dominance of the allele that codes for red flower colour over the allele that codes for the white flower colour.

Assuming that the allele for red flower colour in the plant is R and the allele for white flower colour is r, true breeding red and white flower colour plants will have the genotype RR and rr respectively. In heterozygote state (Rr), the phenotype is usually pink, showing that the R allele has incomplete dominance over the r allele.

<em>Hence, there is no way for plant breeders to develop a true-breeding pink-flowered snapdragon. without some genetic manipulations/mutation.</em>

As of 2015. the NPS found only three wolve left on Island Royale - a
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Inbreeding leaves animals susceptible to genetic disease, and populations to reduced fitness. This family of three would not be able to sustain a population given their a) group dynamics and b) genetic variation

Explanation:

In small populations, the variation in genetic material is likely to be low. The consequence of this is that there is increased homozygosity. That means less members of the population carry two different alleles of a gene for any given trait. This increases the chance of the appearance of recessive traits, which could be disease causing or otherwise reduce fitness.

With only three related individuals left, the chances of generating a new and thriving population with the limited genetic material is almost non existent, especially considering the animals are a male, female and their pup
