The main dietary factor associated with elevated blood cholesterol is saturated fat.

<h3>What about saturated fat?</h3>

Because they increase the amount of LDL cholesterol in our blood, saturated fats, sometimes known as "bad fats," increase the risk of cardiovascular disorders (including heart disease and stroke).
Cholesterol that is circulated in the blood.
The majority of this cholesterol is produced by the body, however some is also absorbed from the meals you eat.
Even if they include fat, foods derived from plants never contain cholesterol.
Only foods from animals do. Low density lipoproteins are able to transport cholesterol.
Dietary fat, particularly saturated and trans fats, may increase LDL and total cholesterol levels in the blood.
Blood cholesterol levels may be lowered by substituting polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, particularly olive and canola oil, for some saturated fats.
When we consume too much saturated fat, the receptors stop functioning as effectively, and blood cholesterol levels rise.

A population of wild-flowers was scored for flower color. There were 302 blue (BB) plants, 1857 violet (BR) plants and 811 red (

Paul [167]

Answer:

frequency of the blue (B) allele $= 0.4142$

frequency of the red (R) allele $= 0.5858$

The number of blue plants expected is $509.652$

The number of red plants expected is $1019.304$

The anticipated number of violet plants is $1441.341$

Calculated chi square value

$= 84.5320 + 42.5688 + 119.8692\\= 246.97$

Explanation:

Frequency of blue allele is

Frequency of blue allele is equal to sum of frequency of BB and half of frequency of BR

$\frac{302}{2970} + \frac{1}{2} \frac{1857}{2970} \\= 0.1016 + 0.3126\\= 0.4142$

Frequency of other allele

$1- 0.4142\\= 0.5858$

atroni [7]

Answer:

B. often use tube feet to move around in their environment

Explanation:

Tube feet are tiny tubular projections of echinoderms on the underside (oral side). They are a member of the echinoderm water vascular system.

Tubular feet are used for feeding, breathing and shifting. They are arranged around the sides, in grooves. They work by hydraulic pressure. They are used to transfer food in the centre to the oral mouth, and may stick to surfaces. Tube feet allow certain animals to stick and travel slowly to the ocean floor. for example starfish uses tube feet for the above functions.

Hence, the correct option is B.
