0.25 of their sons is expected to be g6pd.

Because the sons will inherit only one of their mother's two X chromosomes. The father is normal, so he will pass on a normal allele. The mother has an X-linked recessive allele, so she can only pass on that allele to her daughters, who will not have G6PD deficiency.

The sons will have a 50% chance of inheriting the X chromosome from their mother—that is, they'll get either the normal or G6PD-deficient allele from her. If they get the normal allele from her, then they'll be fine and won't be affected by G6PD deficiency. If they get the G6PD-deficient allele from her, then they'll have G6PD deficiency themselves and be affected by it.

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

The sporophyte body comprises a long stalk, called a seta, and a capsule capped by a cap called the operculum. The capsule and operculum are in turn sheathed by a haploid calyptra which is the remains of the archegonial venter. The calyptra usually falls off when the capsule is mature.

Why would too much salt intake cause someone to develop high blood pressure?
aleksandrvk [35]

The right answer is A) Salt in the bloodstream causes fluids to enter the blood from surrounding cells, due to osmosis.

The circulatory system of the body is a highly flexible vascular system, which has the ability to open and distend new capillaries and veins in order to cope with an increase in fluid volume.

The term "Higher blood pressure" implies that an excess of salt leads to the retention of additional fluid within the arterial circulatory system, which would cause an increase in blood volume and add pressure to the walls. arteries.

iii) It can't dilate or constrict under normal conditions.

iv) It contains valves that allow the blood to flow in one direction towards the heart.

v) All veins carry deoxygenated blood except the pulmonary vein.

3)Capillary ---

i) It is a very narrow blood vessel that has very thin walls.

ii) It forms a network throughout the body in all living cells connecting arteries to veins.
