If Huntington's disease is due to a dominant trait, shouldn't three-fourths of the population have Huntington's while one-fourth

has the normal phenotype? In large populations, Mendelian ratios are ineffective. Appearance of a trait in a population does not solely depend on its dominant or recessive nature. Natural selection is eliminating Huntington’s disease.

Answer:

Appearance of a trait in a population does not solely depend on its dominant or recessive nature.

Explanation:

The appearance of a trait in a population is not only dependent on its dominant or recessive nature.

Huntington's disease is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes a protein called huntingtin (Htt). This mutation produces an altered form of the Htt protein, which causes the death of nerve cells (neurons) in certain brain regions. Even if caused by a dominant gene, Huntington's disease will only be expressed in 50% of people who inherit this gene from their parents. This will depend on the organism's gene expression and other factors besides the dominant character of this gene.

Human caused reductions of biodiversity, include pollution, invasive species, and overexploitation.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Development, together with globalization, drove severe changes at a global level. The natural and original environments suffered from these effects and still are.

Human beings have constantly been altering the natural ecosystems and causing irreparable damages to nature. For many decades, development involved society and technology advance over new areas unpopulated by humans.

<u>Some</u> of the principal human activities responsible for biodiversity loss are

  • the uncontrolled use of unrenewable resources,
  • overexploitation of renewable resources;
  • land destruction for the mining industry, farming and cattle industry, buildings, and other infrastructures;
  • the unplanned advance of cities, and opening of new roads to connect those cities.  

All of them involving

  • deforestation and fragmentation of natural landscapes;
  • water, air, and soil pollution,
  • species loss, and reduction of biodiversity.

With globalization, transport around the world became normal. And when traveling around the world, new species are intentionally or unintentionally transported too. When these species, of animal or vegetable origin, get established in a new area, they overgrow to the point of turning invasive.

Invasive species are uncontrollable and cause severe damage in native endemic species by competing for resources. The whole ecosystem structure changes.

But there are some background glitches in the system that are the principal responsible for all the mentioned activities. Some important aspects are lacking

  • The respect for nature,
  • People´s education at different levels to care and protect wildlife,
  • Interest in keeping ancestral knowledge,
  • Planning and previous environmental impact studies,
  • Policies to control human activities,
  • Caring involved government.

If, as a society, we lack these aspects, the possibilities of changing our impact on nature are far away.

Study the diagram below. In which order does oxygen flow through the human circulatory system?
anyanavicka [17]
The order of flow of oxygen within the human body may be described simply. Oxygen first is inhaled through the nasal cavity and then passes through the trachea, through the bronchi and into the lungs. In the lungs, the oxygen is passed into the blood stream through the alveoli and then is carried to the heart. The heart pumps this oxygenated blood throughout the body, primarily to organs and muscle cells, where it is consumed in respiration and is converted to carbon dioxide and excreted.
