1 answer:

4 0

Acid-fast bacteria are gram-positive, but in addition to peptidoglycan, the outer membrane or envelope of the acid-fast cell wall of contains large amounts of glycolipids, especially mycolic acids that in the genus Mycobacterium, make up approximately 60% of the acid-fast cell wall

The body loses water in a variety of ways. Put the water output mechanisms in order from greatest contribution to fluid loss (1)

kirza4 [7]

The maximum to minimum body water loss occurs by: Urine production, Skin losses, Lung respiration and minimum by Feces

<h3>What are the ways in which body loses water ?</h3>

Through breathing, sweating, and peeing, the body continuously loses water. You become dehydrated if you don't drink enough water or other liquids.

The majority of fluid loss happens through the stools, sweat, and urine, but it's not only those things. The quantity of body fluid lost daily through the skin, respiratory system, and water in the feces that cannot be readily measured is known as insensible fluid loss.

Physical exercise also influences increased respiratory water loss due to the increased expiratory volume and frequency of breathing. Various environmental elements like temperature, humidity, radiation, and atmospheric pressure mostly affect sweating and urine water loss.

Suppose a couple has come to see you to discuss the probability of their children having cystic fibrosis (CF). CF is known to be

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

The children that the couple may have a 25% chance of having cystic fibrosis and 75% chance of being carriers for the CF gene

Explanation:

We know that both parents are in the same situation. Let's start for example with the mother. She has one parent and one sibling with cystic fibrosis (CF). So, supposing that the allele of the gene that causes the disease is "f", as the disease is autosomal recessive, both, the parent and the sibling have the genotype ff.

Also, knowing that the other parent has a normal phenotype, but the sibling has CF, we deduce that the other parent of the mother must have a Ff.

So, despite the mother's phenotype is normal, her genotype is Ff (see the Punnett square 1) Couple's parents in the attached image). In other words, she is a carrier for the CF gene.

As the parents' situation is analogous, we can deduce that the father also has a genotype Ff and is also a carrier for the CF gene.

Now, if we look at the Punnett square for them (see the square 2) Couple in the attached image), we see that all their children will always have at least one copy of the CF allele, f.

More specifically, their children have 25% chance of having cystic fibrosis and 75% chance of having a normal phenotype but being carriers of the CF gene.
