Answer:
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is more common in Caucasian individuals and is inherited with an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.
Explanation:
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a condition of genetic origin, which affects organs such as the lungs, pancreas, intestine and liver. CF is characterized by the production of very thick and viscous mucus, and promotes the formation of cysts and fibrosis of the affected organs.
CF is an inherited disease that is transmitted in an autosomal recessive pattern, that is, the altered gene is required to be on both chromosomes of the allelic pair, in order to be expressed.
It is a very common disease in Caucasian individuals, especially those of European descent.
Answer:
ANS - Autonomic Nervous system.
Explanation:
Autonomic nervous system (ANS) is responsible for regulating the involuntary control of smooth, heart muscles and some glands and organs.
Whereas the somatic nervous system (SNS) regulates the voluntary contraction of the skeletal muscles.
The answer is D

Answer: option B) Sympatric speciation is best described as a random event that disrupts the allele frequencies in a population
Explanation:
Sympatric speciation is an event/situation whereby organisms of the same species:
- live in the same territory or nearby territories ( i.e do not live in geographical isolation)
- DO NOT interbreed, but select a sexual mate from a much diverse territory to yield new species or offsprings.
This sexual selection then results in generations of offsprings that are genetically different from the rest of the same species due to uneven gene flow or disruption of alleles among the population of same species.
Thus, only option B is true.
