I know that the stomach secretes pepsin. So eliminate C and D. that leaves us with A and B. I think that the best answer to this is B, thats my finial answer:)

Answer: The correct answer is- B. The stomach is no longer secreting pepsin.

Pepsin is a protein digesting enzyme, which is produced in the stomach to convert proteins into small peptides. In other words, it performs protein digestion in the stomach.

As per the information in the question, a doctor hypothesizes that a patient's digestive system is not properly secreting digestive enzymes.

Bile is secreted by liver for the digestion of lipids in small intestine whereas pancreas secrete pancreatic juice containing various enzymes for food digestion in small intestine.

Thus, out of the given options, B) is the most  plausible diagnosis.

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Recessive

Explanation:

A recessive disorder is expressed in a homozygous genotype only. Most of the recessive disorders are not expressed as the expression of the recessive allele is masked by a dominant allele in the heterozygous state. However, breeding between close relative (inbreeding) increases the homozygosity in the population and allows the expression of recessive alleles that were otherwise not expressed in the population.

According to the given information, the disease is rare and is mostly expressed in the progeny obtained by mating between closely related individuals (the first cousins). Therefore the disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.

Which assumption must be correct for a population to be in hardy-weinberg equilibrium for a specific gene? see section 23.1 ( pa
Goshia [24]

There are five basic Hardy-Weinberg assumptions:

1. Random Mating -

2. No natural selection - all members of the parental generation survived and contributed equal numbers of gametes to the gene pool, no matter the genotype

3. No genetic drift (random allele frequency changes) - the population is infinitely large.

4. No gene flow - no new alleles were added by immigration or lost through emigration (no migration)

5. No mutation -  There must be mutation equilibrium.
