The statement above is TRUE. 
Depressants has many negative effects, these include depression, chronic fatigue, breathing difficulties, sleep problems, etc.
Long time use of depressants can affect the immune system, weakening it considerably and making the body susceptible to many diseases including cancer.

Depressants are stimulants are drugs used to inhibit sleep, lose weight, prevent asthma or some other purposes. The depressants slow the activity of the central nervous system,stress on the cardiovascular system, nausea and vomiting and elevate dopamine and energy levels. All these things lead to weakening of the immune system. So, the statement that <span>Depressants may reduce the effectiveness of your immune system making it easier for you to catch a cold and you may be at greater risk for developing cancer is true.</span>

8. In chickens, brown feathers are dominant over red feathers. Suppose we cross two heterozygous chickens.
devlian [24]

Answer:

Crossing two chickens heterozygous for the trait feather color, when brown feathers are dominant over red feathers, will produce offspring with brown and red feathers in a brown:red phenotypic ratio of 3:1.

Explanation:

Knowing that in chickens brown feathers are the expression of the dominant allele (B) and the recessive allele is red (b), crossing two heterozygous individuals (Bb) will result in offspring that are likely to have brown or red feathers.

The cross can be represented by a Punnett Square:

<u>Bb X Bb cross </u>

alleles     B    b

B             BB Bb  

b             Bb bb

Where the result is:

<u>Genotypes</u>:  

  • Bb, 50%
  • BB, 25%
  • bb, 25%

<u>Phenotypes</u>:

  • Brown feathers, 75%
  • Red feathers, 25%.

In this case, the probability of having brown or red feathers is 3:1.

Some autoimmune diseases show a positive correlation with dramatically decreased expression of histone deacetylase (HDAC9, an en
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The positive charge of the histone proteins get reduced due to the process of histone acetylation, thus making the wrapping of DNA around the histones less tightened. The loose connected DNA afterward associates with the transcription factors for the articulation of the genes situated in that area.  

Generally, when there is no requirement of gene anymore, the acetyl groups from the histones get withdrawn by the activity of histone deacetylase enzyme (HDAC9) that makes the DNA tightly wrapped and inaccessible again. In case, when less expression of histone deacetylase enzyme occurs, the process of deacetylation fails to take place. This indicates that within an immune cell, at the time of infection, the inflammatory gene, which was made available does not get re-wrapped firmly around the histones.
