In African areas that are prone to malaria having normal blood leaves you prone to contracting malaria and death. Having sickle

cell anemia makes your blood unable to effectively transport oxygen and typically leads to early death. However, being heterozygous for normal blood and sickle cell anemia leads to the blood being able to effectively transport oxygen and resistance to malaria, allowing for a longer life expectancy.

How can twin and adoption studies help us understand the relative contribution of genes and environment?
Fudgin [204]

Explanation:

To determine the influences of environment and heredity, the home environment needs to be controlled while heredity is varied. Identical twins, who develop from one egg that splits in two are genetically identical. Fraternal twins develop from two fertilized eggs and are genetically no more similar than brothers and sisters. Adoption studies allow us to determine if adopted children are more like their adopted families, who contribute to the home environment, or to their biological parents, who contributed their genes. Adoptees' traits bear more similarities to their biological parents than to their care giving adoptive parents. Environmental factors shared by a family's children have virtually no impact on their personalities. Studies of adoptive families have provided clues to hereditary and environmental influences. Adopted children share many values and attitudes with their adoptive parents, but adopted children's personalities tend to display the genetic legacy of their biological parents.

How does oxygen diffuse within the lungs? a. It diffuses from the capillaries into the veins. c. It diffuses from the alveoli in
Nookie1986 [14]

The answer should be C, It diffuses from the alveoli into the blood.


Alveoli, also called the air sac, is the place where the oxygen we breathed in is exchanged with carbon dioxide that our body produces. Oxygen is passed into the blood in the capillaries through the process of diffusion, while carbon dioxide is diffused from the blood back to the alveoli, so that we can exhale the carbon dioxide after that.


Both a and b are not right because when we breathe in, the oxygen travels from the trachea to the bronchi, to the bronchiole, and to the alveoli, instead of directly into blood vessels like arteries, capillaries, or veins. d is also not right because the direction is wrong.


Therefore, your answer should be C.
