Around 40% of cats with white fur and blue eyes are deaf.

The gene responsible is pleiotropic means that one gene responsible for their deafness controls and affects multiple unrelated characteristics.

Pleiotropic gene action is what occurs when one gene affects two or more unrelated phenotypic characteristics or traits. An example of pleiotropic gene action occurs in Marfan syndrome (a human hereditary disorder). Marfan syndrome is caused as a result of a mutation in one gene which affects multiple features in the growth and development aspects such as height and the heart function.

What primary event has occurred when a client experiences an ectopic focus?
Andreyy89
Ectopic focus or ectopic pacemaker happens when an excitable group of cells outside the normal sinoatrial node causes premature heartbeat. Sinoatrial node (SA node) is the pacemaker of the heart. Most people experience ectopic focus but persistent occurrence may need the client/patient to visit the doctor. If a client or patient complains of ectopic focus, it is better to consider his/her activity before visiting the clinic. Ask, for example if the client/patient had a vigorous exercise because it might be causing the irregular heartbeat, how often is he/she experiences such irregularity in his/her heartbeat (acute ectopic foci is usually non-life threatening, however, chronic type requires medical help), his/her lifestyle (he/she might be using illegal drugs, smokes and/or drinks alcohol,had too much coffee etc). Again, history taking is very vital.

If cyanobacteria never evolved during earth's history, how would their absence affect the composition of earth's atmosphere?
Blababa [14]
Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, are found in vast quantities in fresh and salt water. Cyanobacteria are able to conduct photosynthesis. By utilising energy from the sun, they produce carbohydrates from water and carbon dioxide. As a byproduct, they produce oxygen. So cyanobacteria provided oxygen to the atmosphere that allowed other lifeforms to develop.
