Angiotensin-converting –enzymes inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) is a drug commonly used for the treatment of congestive heart failure and hypertension. It can also be used to reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertension. ACE inhibitors act by reducing the activity of the renin –angiotensin-aldosterone system which is the primary causal in the development of hypertension in people with diabetes mellitus.

What does research say about the relationship between birth order, sibling spacing, and intelligence?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

"Birth order and sibling spacing are unrelated to a child's intelligence."

Explanation:

The theory, put forward by Robert Zajonc, a psychologist at the University of Michigan, holds, in brief, that the greater the number of children in a family and the shorter the time between their births, the lower will be the intelligence of the children, particularly those born later. A mother's genetics determines how clever her children are, according to researchers, and the father makes no difference. Women are more likely to transmit intelligence genes to their children because they are carried on the X chromosome and women have two of these, while men only have one.

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 41 and its mass number is 162?
bekas [8.4K]
Isn't this Chemistry.... But anyways am a budding Biochemist

        (Mass #) = (Atomic #) + (Neutron #)
: . (Neutron #) = (Mass #) - (Atomic #)
                       = 162 - 41
                       = 121

Note that: Atomic # = Amount of Protons = Amount of Electrons

What are three lines of evidence thst support the theory of evolution
pav-90 [236]
According to kagmi on yahoo these are three lines of evidence that support the theory of evolution.

The fossil record shows the existence of billions of extinct species. It also shows a clear progression from one species to the next; there are many "transitional fossils," such as the archeoptryx (probably spelled that wrong, lol) which is clearly an intermediate in the evolution of dinosaurs into birds. 

<span>Biogeography shows the distribution of species, providing further support that different species can and do evolve from common ancestors. Australia has many species of marsupials not found on other continents, for example; this implies that these species may have shared a common ancestor which lived on Australia when it was separated from the other continents by continental drift. </span>

<span>Molecular biology allows us to analyze genes and proteins down to the very molecules that make them up. This reveals many similarities and differences between organisms not readily apparent to the naked eye. We can see, for example, that humans share the vast majority of their DNA with all mammals; slightly less with reptiles; slightly less with amphibians, and so on. We find that species' DNA sequences match up well with the fossil record in terms of how closely related the species are. </span>

Explain the mode of inheritance governing coat color by determining how many gene pairs are involved and which genotypes yield w
marysya [2.9K]

Explanation:

Surprisingly, until recently, not much was known about the genes that control melanin production. 6 were known (MC1R, TYR, OCA2, SLC24A5, MATP and ASIP) and 17 more have been recently identified (DTNBP1, GPR143, HPS3, KITGL, MLPH, MYO5A, MYO7A, SLC45A2, TYRP1, ERCC6, GNAS, HERC2, IRF4, OBSCN, SKC24A5, TPNC2 and MITF), all of them directly or indirectly related to the process of melanin formation and distribution. Since there are so many different genes, if we count all the possible alterations, many different color variants can be produced.
