I think so? It's been awhile since i was in biology
The correct answer is (a) The white salt crystals have a high albedo.
A substance appears white in color because it reflects most of the light falling on it. The term albedo shows that most of the sunlight falling on the particular area are reflected back leaving behind the salt of white color. Badwater Basin in Death valley is the hottest, driest and brightest area. Hence, the valley appears to be white in color because of the salt crystals that reflects back the maximum light falling on it.
Answer: An abnormal increase/decrease in body temperature (no sweating/shivering)
Explanation: Homeostasis is the process by which the body regulates and equalizes functions within the body. An example of the human body maintaining homeostasis is body temperature. If the human body is too hot, then the body will activate the sweat glands to cool down. If the human body is too cold, the the body will shiver.
An imbalance in homeostasis however, would be the lack of the process that regulates body temperature. So an example of imbalance in the process of human homeostasis would be not shivering when cold and not sweating when hot.
<em>I know there are probably better examples of imbalances in the process of human homeostasis, but I hope that this explains it sufficiently enough and is a good-enough example. Have a nice day!</em>
Answer:
The correct option is D
Explanation:
Beta-thalassemia major is a hereditary disorder that usually causes severe anaemia. This mutation/disorder eventually leads to death if untreated especially during in the first two years of infancy. The treatment usually involves the transfusion of blood to clear the phenotypic blockage caused by the mutation. However, it requires both alleles to have the thalessemia mutation for a patient to be said to have beta-thalassemia major. Hence, <u>it is </u><u>not true</u><u> that it involves just the x allele and thus affects males more often than females</u>.
