The inheritance in humans is more complex as compared to the inheritance in plants as described by Mendel.

Mendelian inheritance patterns mostly refer to the inheritance of traits controlled by a single gene with two alleles. In plants, most characteristics are governed by a single gene but in humans, most of the traits are polygenic which means that they are governed by more than one gene.

Also, most of the genes in humans have more than two alleles and hence they do not follow simple Mendelian inheritance patterns.

In humans, the males have only one X chromosome (that contains sex-linked traits) and females have two X chromosomes, this also leads to more complex patterns of dosage compensation and inheritance in humans and they do not follow the basic Mendelian laws as the plants do.

"since peak bone mass occurs around age 30, what should be consumed regularly prior to that time to maximize bone mass?"

sertanlavr [38]

Answer: Foods with calcium

The amount of bone tissue in the skeleton or bone mass can keep growing until the age of 30. It is recommended to eat food with calcium prior to this age for maximum strength and density of the bones. Examples of food rich in calcium are dairy foods, green leafy vegetables, beans, nuts, fish and a lot more.

You are testing a new sugar replacement that you think is indigestible (and potentially useful in diet products). You feed 1 gra

enyata [817]

Answer: The % digestibility of the sugar alternative is 10.

Explanation:

First we have to know how many grams of the sugar replacement were in the total rat feces. We know 22,5% of the feces were the sugar replacement, so we use cross multiplication for that:

If 20 grams is 100% of the feces, then

x grams / 22.5% = 20grams / 100%

xgrams = (22.5 . 20grams) / 100% = 4.5grams

If each rat ingested 1gram of the sugar replacement, all five rats ate a total of 5grams.

Now we have to check how much of this sugar replacement was digested. If the rats ate 5grams and 4.5grams were present in their feces

5grams - 4.5grams = 0.5grams

This means they digested 0.5grams.

We use cross multiplication again to find out which percentage of the initial sugar replacement this represents.

If 5grams is 100% of the ingested sugar replacement, then

x% / 0.5grams = 100% / 5grams

x% = (0.5grams . 100%) / 5grams = 10%

Describe how Schwann cells form the myelin sheath and the neurilemma.

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Schwann cells or neurilemma cells are the cells which form the myelin sheath around neuronal axons in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) only.

Neurilemma is the collective term used for cytoplasm and nuclei present around the myelin sheath which helps in the regeneration process of nerves.

A Schwann cell surrounds the axon, invaginate it and the plasmalemma of the Schwann cells joins and from a double membrane structure called mesaxon. This mesaxon starts wrapping the axon in spiral fashion and cytoplasm start condensing into the compact myelin sheath.
