How do the process of DNA replication and the laws of inheritance help cells and individuals pass on their
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer/Explanation:

DNA replication doubles each chromosome, meaning the cell can pass on DNA to daughter cells - the duplicated DNA is divided equally between the two new cells formed from the parent.

The laws of inheritance are:

1) The Law of Dominance: An organism with alternate forms of a gene, called alleles, will always display the form that is dominant, masking the recessive trait.

2) The Law of Segregation: In a diploid genome, like most eukaryotes, each trait is defined by a pair of genes (alleles). Each allele is randomly passed on to the gametes so that each gamete only contains one allele.   The offspring inherits one allele from each parent during the process of fertilization.

2) The Law of Independent Assortment: Genes for different traits are sorted independently from one another That is, the inheritance of one trait does not depend on the inheritance of another trait. so that the inheritance of one trait is not dependent on the inheritance of another.

Iron

A side note about haemochromatosis:

Haemochromatosis is a disease where there is too much iron is in the body.  It is the most common form of iron overload disease. There are two types of haemochromatosis: 

<span>Primary haemochromatosis is a genetic disorder inherited from family members.  People with this condition absorb too much iron and it ends up accumulating in the body, especially in the liver.   </span><span>Secondary haemochromatosis is caused by other blood-related disorders such as anaemia, or may be due to many blood transfusions, long term alcoholism and/or other health conditions.    </span><span>If left untreated, iron overload can lead to liver damage. That’s why it’s important to receive treatment as soon as possible after diagnosis to prevent further complications, including liver disease, liver cirrhosis, liver failure, liver cancer, heart disease, arthritis or diabetes. Some organ damage can be reversed if detected early enough and treated appropriately.

cigarettes

If you smoke cigarettes there’s a chance that you are causing damage to your liver – increasing your risk of developing liver cancer and decreasing your liver’s ability to rid your body of dangerous toxins. In turn, this could leave you more susceptible to the damaging effects of some medications on the liver too. </span>

Arada [10]

Answer:

Gas exchange between tissues and the blood is an essential function of the circulatory. The air contains oxygen that crosses the lung tissue, enters the bloodstream, and the alveoli are in direct contact with capillaries of the circulatory system. As water flows over the gills, oxygen is transferred to blood via the veins.

What are the relative ages of volcanoes in a chain with a hotspot at one end?<br> Explain
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Mantle plumes that form hotspots are thought to be relatively stationary whereas the overlying tectonic plates typically are not. Thus, as a plate moves over the location of a plume eruption, it carries successively older volcanoes with it.
