A disorder called osteogenesis imperfecta damages the auditory ossicles and results in hearing loss. why

1 answer:

7 0

One of the components of the auditory system is the malleus incus and stapes that make up the auditory ossicles. Osteogenesis Imperfacta is a genetic disorder that affects the proper formation of connective tissue in the body.
Bones, on the one hand, are constituted by connective tissue. The disorder will consequently affect the formation and integrity of the auditory ossicles, therefore, leading to hearing loss.

Describe the different body senses and how they function.

Anit [1.1K]

Those senses are sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch. We see with our eyes, we smell with our noses, we listen with our ears, we taste with our tongue, and we touch with our skin. Our brain receives signals from each of these organs and interprets them to give us a sense of what's happening around us.

Interpret the Punnett square. A Punnett square with four rows and four columns. The first row is labeled big-A, big-B. The secon

Answer:

The genotypes shown represent gametes. False

One of the possible offspring genotypes is AABB. True

The parent genotypes are ABAbaBab×ABAbaBab. True

This cross shows two alleles for two traits. True

The gametes are diploid and the offspring are diploid. False

The genotypes shown are correct for a dihybrid cross. True

Explanation:

║ AB ║ Ab ║ aB ║ ab

AB║ABAB ║ ABAb║ABaB║ABab

Ab║ AbAB║ AbAb ║AbaB║Abab

aB║aBAB ║ aBAb ║aBaB║aBab

ab║abAB ║ abAb ║abaB ║abab

Drawing the Punnett square we can deduce that the genotypes shown do not represent gametes because there are more than 2 pairs of chromosomes.

As shown in the second column second row of the Punnett square one of the possible genotypes is AABB, it is distributed different (ABAB) but it is the same possible genotype.

The parents' genotypes are the ones that are written in the first columns and first row, they coincide with the ones in the statement.

A dihybrid cross shows the cross between two genes that have different traits.

The gametes are always haploid and the offspring are diploid because the two gametes come together.
