Asthma is a chronic disease of the lung that has been increasing at an alarming rate in industrialized countries around the world over the last few decades. Although considerable progress has been made in our understanding of the underlying pathogenesis of the disease, the exact causes of the increasing prevalence are unknown. Studies suggest that most asthma develops in early childhood and that environmental factors present early in life may be crucial in the development of disease. One potential explanation for the recent epidemic referred to as the "hygiene hypothesis" postulates that factors that have resulted in a reduction in exposure to microbial products and/or infections in the western world may be contributing to this rise in disease prevalence. As early life influences are known to play an important role in establishment of asthma, studies have focused on the interface between mother and child that occurs during gestation and through breastfeeding. In this regard, the body of evidence regarding the relationship between breastfeeding and asthma indicates benefit but with the potential for risk. While providing population-level protection from infections and atopy in infancy and early childhood, breastfeeding might also pose an increased risk of atopic asthma among children with asthmatic mothers.

Explanation:
The cross of a pea plant with round seeds (RR) with another pea plant with wrinkled seeds (rr) is shown as under :
P RR x rr
F1 Rr Rr Rr Rr
It is clear from the cross above, all the 4 probable progenies in filial 1 (F1) generation will be heterozygous with Rr genotype. Not even a single progeny will have homozygous recessive genotype which is responsible for producing wrinkled seeds. Also, even though the genotype of the progenies will be Rr not RR yet phenotypically they all will have round seeds i.e. they will show dominant trait. The reason behind it is that one of the alleles R which is responsible for dominant trait will mask the expression of recessive allele r. So, wrinkled phenotype which is a recessive trait will not be observed in any of the progenies.
The major difference between compost and green manure lies in their composition. While green manure is made from animal-based waste products such as urine and feces. Adding compost to the soil enriches the soil with organic matter while green manure increases the nitrogen level of the soil.
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
Taxonomy may be defined as one of the main branch of biology that helps in the classification of organisms. The organisms are classified on the basis of similarities and differences among them.
Taxonomy includes the identification of an individual by looking at its morphological characters. The nomenclature ( naming of organism) and its classification in to different groups.
Thus, the correct answer is option (a).
Answer:
yes
Explanation:
light is main source of energy for photosynthesis to take place
if you recall photosynthesis cannot take place without light
even in dark reaction , light reaction has to produce ATP and reduced NADH which dark reaction will use .
