What is the difference between the ligamentum arteriosum and the ductus arteriosus?

Biology
1 answer:
Goshia [24]4 years ago
6 0
In fetal life, the lungs are not expanded, so most of the blood from the right ventricle is shunted from the pulmonary artery to the aorta through the patent ductus arteriosus. With a few breaths the lungs expand, and blood flows from right ventricle to pulmonary artery into the lungs. Withdrawal of circulating prostaglandin from the mother plus bradykinins released from the expanding lung of the infant cause the ductus to close over a few minutes to hours. The closed ductus remains as the ligamentum arteriosum.

Some of the traits in the chart are not simple cases of dominant and recessive. List those traits that show a blending of genes
GuDViN [60]

Not every gene has a dominant or recessive form. Each allele in the gene pair may occasionally carry equal weight and manifest as a composite physical trait.

<h3>Why are genes so important?</h3>

The building blocks of life are genes. They include instructions for constructing particular molecules and proteins that control how the body develops and functions and enable human cells to function. Additionally, they influence how certain physical traits and attributes, like hair or eye color, are expressed.

<h3>How are genes created?</h3>

One copy is passed down to them by their mother through the egg, while the other is passed down by their father (via the sperm). The 23 chromosomes in each egg and sperm are all found in one pair. When the sperm fertilizes the egg, two copies of each chromosome and two copies of each gene are produced, resulting in the development of an embryo.
