Maria must be suffering from cystic fibrosis because all the given symptoms are symptoms of this disease. There might be other symptoms that her parents might have missed.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Wheezing, salty skin and low weight gain etc are the most evident symptoms of cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. The disease mainly affects the lungs but it can also affect the liver, pancreas and kidney.

Sweat test and genetic testing are some of the diagnostic methods of cystic fibrosis. Greasy bowel movement is also a symptom of cystic fibrosis which Maria’s parents might have missed.

There are two types of dogs, black and brown. You have just found out that the black colored dog is dominant over the brown colo

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer -
1. BB
2. bb
3. Bb
4. B = is the black dog is dominant over the b = brown dog
5. Lower case b
6. Bb
7.
bb = brown dog
Bb = black dog
BB = black dog

Reasoning - Reason is since it said black dog is dominant automatically you will know that it will be the uppercase B and since the less dominant in this case the brown dog it will be lower case. In addition automatically if the one uppercase is combine with the lower, the dominant will always be that color which is the black dog. (Confidently its correct) :)

During gas exchange in the tissues

Georgia [21]

Answer:

E. a, b and c

Explanation:

Gas exchange near tissues: Near the tissues the partial pressure of oxygen is less so oxyhemoglobin in the blood immediately dissociates to give away oxygen to the tissues.

Near the tissues the metabolized product carbon dioxide is more i.e. the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is more near tissues. A rise in partial pressure of CO2 of fall in pH, decreases oxygen affinity of hemoglobin, this is referred as Bohr's effect. Hemoglobin undergoes conformational changes that facilitates the release of oxygen.

Carbon dioxide must be transported from tissue to lungs for exhalation process. For this some part of CO2 (20-25%) binds with hemoglobin and gets transported as carbaminohemoglobin (HbCO2). Around 70% of CO2 is transported in the form of bicarbonate ions and the remaining 7% in the dissolved form in plasma.

In a cross of purple flowered heterozygous plants (Pp), the letter P represents the allele for purple flowers and the letter p r

melomori [17]

So there would be a 75% chance of the flowers having purple offspring and a 25% chance of the flowers having white offspring. Or you could say, 3/4 of the offspring would be purple.

As seen in the venn diagram, meiosis is responsible for the production of haploid gametes. somatic or body cells are 2n cells. t

Simora [160]

This change in chromosome number is the result of B. Fertilization. Both of the individual gametes from the male and female combine together to produce a zygote or developing offspring that is diploid in most cases, and possess both sets of genetic content or chromosomal information, one from each parent.
