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

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.

Answer:

I'd Say A because it talks about slowing down the plants and removing stuff from the soil. Fire and smoke only cause problems for the surrounding area by blocking the sun and burning the ground, removing materials plants need for life. Then when it rains all the acidic stuff kills the ground as well.

You are an almond grower and want to determine whether almond size (measured as shelled almond weight) is a heritable trait. A s
inn [45]

Answer: 1. S = 0.77

              2. R = 0.14

Explanation:

1. <u><em>Selection</em></u> <u><em>differential</em></u> is the difference between the population mean and the average of the selected parents. Its symbol is S.

S = mean of selected parents - population mean

S = 6.48 - 5.71

S = 0.77

2. <em><u>Response</u></em> <em><u>to</u></em> <em><u>Selection</u></em> is how much gain you make when crossing over selected parents. Its symbol is R.

R = mean of offspring of selected parents - population mean

R = 5.85 - 5.71

R = 0.14

3. <em><u>Heritability</u></em> is, basically, a statistical variable that shows how much the variation in a trait is due to genetic factors. Its symbol is h².

To calculate it, use Breeder's Equation:

R = h²S

h^{2}=\frac{R}{S}

h^{2}=\frac{0.14}{0.77}

h² = 0.18

4. You would expect the production to be strongly influenced by environment, because heritability lies between 0 and 1. Low heritability means there is low level of resemblance between offspring and parents. As this program heritability is low, the resemblance is small, which means the characteristics are influenced mostly by the enviroment.
