Answer:

Crossing over is the phenomena of the exchange of the genetic material between the non sister chromatid of the homologous chromosomes. The crossing over results in the  formation of recombinant progeny.

Linked traits are  close to each other and present on the same chromosome. The linked traits that are very close to each other and will not separate by the process of crossing over. This information is used to locate the disease condition.

ki77a [65]

Answer:

Herd immunity

Explanation:

Herd immunity refers to the resistance of a group of people against infection and the spread of a pathogen. It occurs when a high proportion of the members of that group are resistant against a particular pathogenic infection. When an earlier exposure or vaccination of a large proportion of individuals of a population does not allow the pathogen to spread among and infect the otherwise susceptible members of the population, the population is said to have acquired the herd immunity.

In the given example, vaccination of a large percentage of a population protected the susceptible individuals against a particular microbe. This represents an example of herd immunity.

Olenka [21]
The correct answer is bpa in bottles affects particular glands.
 
An endocrine disruptor is a chemical which at certain doses can disrupt the normal endocrine function of the organism. The effects of an endocrine disruptor can be quite severe, from birth deficits and cancerous tumours to developmental disorders.

One of the most commonly detected chemicals in the human body is bisphenol A (BPA), a material used in the production of plastics. It is considered an exoestrogen, meaning that it possesses hormone- and estrogen-like properties. These properties affect specific glands of the human body causing reproductive and neurological problems, obesity, diabetes and some types of cancer.

Feedback from estrogen is a mechanism that the human body uses to control the FSH release from the gonads. This is not considered an endocrine disruptor since it is a natural mechanism. In addition, iodine is a chemical element essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Any lack of it is not considered an endocrine disruptor. Finally, calcitonin is a hormone produced in humans by specific cells of the thyroid gland and it is not considered an endocrine disruptor.
