Answer:
<u>B) Polycystic kidney disease</u>
Explanation:
<u>A) Hypospadias</u>
It is a congenital disease characterized by an abnormal urethral opening on the dorsum of penis.
<u>B) Polycystic kidney disease</u>
It is a disease characterized by the multiple cysts in the kidney as implied by the name.
<u>C) Cystitis</u>
It is defined as the infection of urinary bladder.
<u>D) Dysuria</u>
It is defined as painful urination. It can be due to infection or other underlying disease.
<u>E) Epispadias</u>
It is a congenital disease characterized by an abnormal urethral opening on the ventral surface of penis. It is much less common than hypospadias.
<u>CORRECT ANSWER</u>
From the options, the most appropriate answer is <u>B) Polycystic kidney</u> as it is a disease characterized by the formation of cysts in the kidney. These cysts obstruct urinary flow.
The first organisms to grow in new or disturb areas is called pioneer species.
Complete question:
Suppose "A" is a dominant gene for the ability to taste phenylthiocarbamide and "a" is a recessive gene for the inability to taste it. Which couples could possibly have both a child who tastes it and a child who does not?
a. father AA, mother aa
b. father Aa, mother AA
c. father Aa, mother Aa
d. father AA, mother AA
Answer:
c. father Aa, mother Aa
Explanation:
According to the given information, the ability to taste phenylthiocarbamide is a dominant trait and is imparted by the allele "A". This phenotype would be expressed in both homozygous and heterozygous conditions. The non-taster phenotype would be expressed in the homozygous recessive genotypes only.
To have both taster and non-taster children, both the parents should have at least one copy of the recessive allele. Among the given options, the father with genotype Aa and the mother with genotype Aa have the possibility to have both taster and non-taster children.
Aa x Aa= 3/4 taster (1/4 AA and 1/2 Aa): 1/4 non-taster (1/4 aa)
Fill a graduated cylinder to 10mL, place the rock inside and calculate the difference in mL.
Answer:
B. decreases salivation and increases blood pressure
Explanation:
The sympathetic nervous system is part of the autonomous nervous system which controls involuntary responses of the body such as salivation and blood pressure.
The sympathetic nervous system is majorly responsible for body actions that are produced when threat is perceived. It generates responses referred to as the “fight or flight” response. Examples of such responses include, increased breathing, increased high blood pressure, dilation, decreased salivation, etc.
Activation of the sympathetic nervous system would result in rise in the blood pressure as can be witnessed by someone whose body has perceived a threat or reacting to a stressful situation.
The control of salivary production by the sympathetic nervous system leads to the release of noradrenaline which acts on certain receptors that results in decrease in the production of saliva. This is evident in a person that is facing a threat also.
