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>.

In ducks, the trait for normal feathers is dominant to the trait for silky feathers. If
vesna_86 [32]

Answer: The genotype ratio is 2Ff : 2ff

The phenotype ratio is two normal feathered birds to two silky feathered birds.

Explanation: Let F represent the gene for normal feather and f represent the gene for silky feather. F is dominant while f is recessive, therefore a male that is hybrid for trait of normal feather is heterozygous and will have a genotype of Ff, a female that is homozygous for silky feather will have a genotype of ff.

A cross between Ff and ff will yield 2Ff birds and 2ff birds. Since F is dominant, a bird having genotype of Ff will manifest outwardly as blue feathered birds while ff will manifest outwardly as silky feathered birds because f is recessive and must occur in a homozygous condition in order to manifest phenotypically. Therefore, the genotype ratio is 2Ff: 2ff.
