Answer:

It reduces the diameter of an artery

Explanation:

<em>Atherosclerosis results in the deposition of plaques on the arterial wall. The plaque deposition narrows the diameter of the artery and consequently interferes with the flow of blood through the artery in the process. </em>

Hence, atherosclerosis functions by reducing the diameter of an artery due to plaque deposition.

Answer:

<u>Atherosclerosis</u><u> causes the artery to become very narrow -which interferes with blood circulation- by forming plaques that harden enough to damage the endothelium.</u>

Explanation:

Atherosclerosis is a condition of unknown cause but related to unhealthy habits like smoking, having high cholesterol levels, diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity, besides family history.

Atherosclerosis is the number one cause of death and disability in developed countries. It generally starts at a young age and worsens over time, with the possibility to <u>cause strokes, coronary artery disease, and other serious issues depending on the artery affected</u>.

The ability to taste the chemical PTC is determined in humans by a dominant allele T, with tasters having the genotypes Tt or TT
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

The genotypic frequency for tt (q²) = 36% = 36/100 = 0.36

To calculate for the allelic frequency of t which is q, we have to find the square root of q² to do this. Thus

√q² = √0.36 = 0.6 this q = 0.6

The allelic frequency p for the T allele can then be calculated using this formula p + q = 1

Where q is 0.6 thus p= 1 - 0.6 = 0.4.

This the allelic freq of T is 0.4
