Mucus would most likely accumulate in the respiratory tract as a result of ciliary destruction.

Pertussis (whooping cough) is a highly contagious respiratory tract infection. A severe hacking cough is followed by the a high-pitched breath intake that sounds like "whoop" in many people. Before the vaccine, whooping cough was thought to be a childhood disease. Whooping cough now primarily affects children who have not received the full course of vaccinations, as well as teenagers and adults whose immunity has waned.

Deaths from whooping cough are uncommon, but most commonly occur in infants. That is why it is critical for pregnant women and others who will have close contact with an infant to be immunized against whooping cough. The best way to avoid pertussis is to get vaccinated. Check that you and your loved ones have received their pertussis vaccines.

Crawfish are shelled organisms that live in shallow freshwater rivers. They can have antennae of different lengths. Two parents
vredina [299]

The phenotype of antenna in crawfish depends on the protein amount in the antenna length. The offspring have different phenotype than their parent because of the amount of protein translated from each parent gene is determining in this.

The gene determines the amount of protein to be present in the antenna to determine its length.

Explanation:

Data given:

Two crawfish parent = medium length antennae, genotyoe Ll

One offspring = short antenna, genotype ll

one offspring = long antennae, genotype LL

The traits in offspring is shown as:

       L    l

L   LL    Ll

l   Ll     ll

The proportion of allele present in the gene determined the length of the antenna in crawfish.

The difference in length of the antenna in crawfish is due to the amount of protein for the phenotype present in the individual. The amount of protein to be expressed in the crawfish is given by both the parents. The tendency of protein expresed define the phenotype of antenna length.

Answer:

<h2>Ethylene is a gaseous hormone in plants, it is a fruit ripening hormone.</h2>

Explanation:

Ethylene is a chemical signal through which ripening fruits trigger the ripening process in fruits, Studies on components of ethylene signaling have shown a linear transduction pathway leading to the activation of ethylene response factors. However, the whole pathway by which ethylene selects the ripening-related genes and interacts with other signaling pathways to regulate the ripening process still not yet fully known. Most fruits produce ethylene that starts the ripening process. Its level in under-ripe fruit is very low, but as fruit develop, the production of ethylene become larger that speed up the ripening process of fruit.

Answer:

A band - light central region of sarcomere.

Explanation:

Sarcomere is the basic structural unit of the skeletal muscles. These sarcomere shows striations ( light and dark bands) when veiw under the microscope.

A band or anisotropic band is the dark region of sarcomere. A band consists of both thick and thin filaments of actin and myosin proteins. The A band has the ability to refract light and appears dark.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
