Answer:

Option D, The mutation will be expressed only if the individual has two copies of the recessive allele

Explanation:

A characteristic or trait associated with a dominant allele is expressed when the genotype is heterozygous or homozygous dominant .

But a characteristic or trait associated with a recessive allele is expressed only when the genotype is  homozygous recessive. Homozygous recessive means that an individual must have a genotype that has two copies of the recessive allele.

For example

If R represents dominant red color of flower and r represents the recessive white color of flower, then genotye "RR" and "Rr" represents homozygous & heterozygous dominant genotype respectively.

While "rr" represents the homozygous recessive genotype.

Thus, option D is correct

A 57-year-old man is evaluated in the clinic for a routine physical exam. He is followed for hypertension and hyperlipidemia. He
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

d. Measure thyroid-stimulating hormone level

Explanation:

The most suitable next step in management of this patient is to measure a thyroid stimulating hormone, or thyrotropin level.

This patient's apparent treatment refractory dyslipidemia is most likely contributed by undiagnosed thyroid disease. Despite sticking to the treatment with atorvastatin, his  LDL AND total cholesterol are raised.

Additionally, there are some clinical signals that give an idea about the diagnosis of hypothyroidism especially  fatigue and constipation.

Hypothyroidism is concerned with and is a very common secondary cause of dyslipidemia and thyrotropin level measures are indicated.

Hyperlipidemia may show better results to thyroid stimulating hormone.

Hence option D is the right answer.

The rain forests of the world trap a large amount of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Every year, however, more rain forest is
IrinaVladis [17]

Carbondioxide, being a green house gas has the property of trapping the heat from the sunlight and thus increasing the temperature of the place. As more and more rain forests are cut down and burned, there is an increase in this green house gas in the atmosphere thus leading to a steady increase in the temperatures.

As we look at the graphs that are given, we can see that the graph C shows the steady increase in the temperature as the time passes. Hence option C is the right answer

Which of the following correctly sorts the organizational levels of a ecosystem form least inclusive to most inclusive
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

population - community - ecosystem - biosphere

Explanation:

<em>The correctly sorted level of organization of an ecosystem from the least inclusive to the most inclusive would be from population to community to ecosystem and finally to biosphere.</em>

A population consists of a group of organism of the same species living in a particular area at a particular time and capable of interbreeding to produce fertile progeny.

A community represents different population of organisms that are interacting with one another. Several populations make up a community.

An ecosystem consists of different communities of organisms that are interacting with themselves and the non living component of the environment.

A biosphere consists of all regions of the earth where living organisms can be found. It consists of different ecosystems that make up the earth.

<u>Hence, the population is least inclusive, followed by the community, then the ecosystem and finally the biosphere.</u>
