Answer:

Explanation:

Selection is used in identifying some important traits for improving on or elimination.

Selection against is when a selection does not favour a particular allele. If recessive allele is selected against there will be a reduction in the frequency of the allele.

Since it was complete selection against the frequency of the allele will move from its level of fitness to zero and the allele of the gene will be lost completely in the genome of the organism.

natural selection i.e selection done by nature is not enough to get 100% selection against because of the allele reoccuring in heterozygous form but with artificial selection by man it is achievable.

In the 17th century, Jan van Helmont performed an experiment to determine how much of the mass gained by a plant came from soil.
Ainat [17]

Some important elements that are required by a plant for proper growth, but were not accounted in the experimentation of Jan van Helmont are the nutrients from atmosphere such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and light.

In his famous experiment, Van Helmont planted willow shoots in a soil container and calculated the plant mass after five years. The tree gained great amount of mass but the soil didn’t lose much mass. He concluded that the extra mass of the plant had come from soil as well as water used for watering the plant.

Van Helmont clearly missed the importance of elements from atmosphere such as CO2 and light. A plant actually derives most of its energy from CO2 and light through photosynthesis, but only some of its energy from the soil.  

Although, soil is important as it provides useful mineral to the plants like Nitrogen and Potassium. But, minerals do not represent major part of the plant mass.  They are essential for constant development but they do not provide energy to plant. As we know, energy is made when CO2 and water combine to form carbohydrates and sugars. So it might sound surprising but the truth is that major part of plant mass is due to stored sugars. These sugars are eventually used by plant for general metabolic processes.

Which hormone causes the regrowth of the endometrial lining of the uterus?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

progesterone

Explanation:

Progesterone, unlike estrogen, has no activity on determining female sexual characteristics. Progesterone activity is to prepare the uterus for possible pregnancy by growing the endometrial lining of the uterus and receiving the fertilized egg and stimulating milk production.

Progesterone is directly responsible for maintaining and sustaining the fetus in the womb, stimulating, during the first two weeks of pregnancy, the fallopian tube and endometrial glands to secrete nutrients essential for the zygote. Uterine contractions are inhibited to prevent the fetus being expelled as it blocks prostaglandin production and decreases oxytocin sensitivity.

The only and best treatment for compartment syndrome is surgery.

In the case of Ms Hughes, she is believed to have developed a condition known as compartment syndrome,  because patient with compartment syndrome,  seem to continue to have increased pain despite the administration of morphine.And they keep complaining of unrelenting pain.
