Answer:

lungs

Explanation:

Inhaling silica causes permanent damage to the lungs and can lead to death.

When people inhale crystalline silica, the tissue present in the lungs reacts and develope fibrotic nodules. It also scars the lung tissue around the trapped silica particles. If these fibrotic nodules grow large, breathing becomes difficult.

Breathing in crystalline silica dust can cause a severe even fatal case called silicosis. When silica enters into the lungs, it causes the formation of scar tissue and makes it difficult for the lungs to take oxygen. There is no cure to silicosis.

Therefore, Inhaling crystalline silica affects the lungs.

Crystalline silica is a natural compound in the earth's crust and is a basic component of sand and granite. Silicosis is an incurable disease of the lungs caused by breathing crystalline silica dust. This dust can cause scar tissue to form in the lungs.

Answer:

The test cross is shown below

      T         T

t      Tt         Tt

t       Tt         Tt

The alleles shown in the vertical side (tt) are recessive and come from the male parent. The alleles TT are dominant and come from the female parent.

For the variety of offsprings to be 100% tall, the recessive parent had to be crossed with a homozygous dominant parent.  If the female was heterozygous with which the cross was done,then there would be small tomato plants in the offspring generation.

2. If 10% of the bases in a molecule of DNA are adenine, what is the ratio of adenine to guanine in the same
sertanlavr [38]

Answer: Option D) 1:4

Explanation:

Recall that the sum of all nitrogenous bases in the DNA nucleotide is equal to 100%. And specific base pairings of Adenine to Thymine (A=T), and Cytosine to Guanine (C=G) must be equal.

So, the percentage of Adenine equal thymine, and that of cytosine equals guanine.

Now, A + T + C + G = 100%

So, if adenine makes up 10% of the DNA nucleotides, then thymine is also 10%.

Then, 10% + 10% + C + G = 100%

20% + C + G = 100%

C + G = 100% - 20% = 80%

Thus, divide 80% by 2 to obtain the individual percentage of cytosine and guanine. Each will take 40%

Ratio Adenine to Guanine is 10% to 40%

or 1:4 in simplest form
