The given question is incorrect. The correct question is:

Question: A metabolic bone disorder, particularly common in postmenopausal women, is called.......

1. osteoporosis.

2. lordosis

3. kyphosis.

4. osteitis

5. deformans.

Answer:

1. osteoporosis.

Explanation:

Osteoporosis refers to the decreased bone mass and the resultant increased susceptibility to fractures. Women of older ages are more likely to be affected as a result of decreased levels of estrogens. Production of estrogens in women declines greatly at menopause. Estrogens serve to stimulate osteoblast activity. Osteoblasts are the cells of the bones and serve to secrete the proteins of the bone matrix. This results in reduced bone mass after menopause in women and causes osteoporosis.

Sunlight striking the earth at an angle is stronger and hotter than direct sunlight striking earth? True or False

Sidana [21]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Angle of Solar Radiation and Temperature

When the sun's rays strike Earth's surface near the equator, the incoming solar radiation is more direct (nearly perpendicular or closer to a 90˚ angle). Therefore, the solar radiation is concentrated over a smaller surface area, causing warmer temperatures.

In a certain breed of plants, dark green is determined by the dominant gene 'G' and light green is determined by the recessive g

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

The answer is 300.

Explanation:

When we cross GG and gg, 100% of the offspring will be heterozygous. If the heterozygotes show 75% penetrance meaning that there is a 75% probability that the plant that has the G gene will actually show it in it's phenotype.

So that means that 75% of the offspring should have dark green color, which means that 300 plants will have the expected phenotype and 100 will not.

Parental Phenotypes: "Yellow-Smooth", "Yellow-Wrinkled", "Green-Smooth", "Green Wrinkled".

Parental Genotypes: SsGg × SsGg

Parental Gametes: SG, Sg, sG, sg

<span>Smooth/Green </span>= S-G- = 9

<span>Winkled/Green </span>= ssG- = 3

Smooth/Yellow = S-gg = 3

Wrinkled/Yellow = ssgg = 1

Ratio would be: 9: 3: 3: 1

Hope this helps!
