A brown-eyed man whose father was brown-eyed and whose mother was blue-eyed, married a blue-eyed woman whose father and mother w

ere both brown-eyed. The couple has a blue-eyed son. If brown eyes are dominant over blue eyes, for which of the individuals do you know the genotypes for sure? What are they? What genotypes are possible for the others?

Answer:
it’s more likely due the brown alele is dominant.

But it depends on the genotype, because she can be a carrier of the blue gene. In the simplest models of eye color, there are two genes involed (this is a simplified model).

Gene 1 there are two possibilities brown or blue. The brown version of the gene 1 is dominant over the blue one. Dominant means is if a least 1 of your copies is brown. then you will have brown eyes.

Gene 2. there are two possibilities, green or blue. Green is dominant over blue,

Most of the energy that your brain uses comes from
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Glucose

Explanation:

The brain is an energy-hungry organ. Despite comprising only 2 percent of the body’s weight, the brain gobbles up more than 20 percent of daily energy intake. Because the brain demands such high amounts of energy, the foods we consume greatly affect brain function, including everything from learning and memory to emotions.

Just like other cells in the body, brain cells use a form of sugar called glucose to fuel cellular activities. This energy comes from the foods we consume daily and is regularly delivered to brain cells (called neurons) through the blood.  

Studies suggest the quality of the foods consumed over a lifetime affects the structure and function of the brain. For instance, the consumption of omega-3 fatty acids found in fish provides structural material to maintain neurons. Studies also suggest omega-3 fatty acids are essential for the transmission of information between brain cells. In contrast, foods that are rich in sugars and saturated fats have been found to promote oxidative stress, which leads to damage to cell membranes.  

The food you eat also affects molecules in the brain that support cognition. Some foods, such as those with turmeric, support cognition by helping to maintain molecular events related to energy metabolism.

Recent studies suggest lifestyle choices that affect the metabolism of nerve cells, such as diet and exercise, may in some cases provide a non-invasive and effective strategy to counteract neurological and cognitive disorders.

Which part of the Pakicetus anatomy most suggests that it is an ancestor of whales?
Burka [1]

Answer:

Pakicetus had an ear bone with a characteristic specific to whales and a distinctive long skull shape of a whale's.

Pakicetus

• Pakicetus was a wolf-sized animal and was a carnivore that at certain occasions consumed fish had exhibited features of its anatomy that associated it to the modern cetaceans, porpoises, whales, and dolphins.

• It had the body of a land animal, however, its head exhibited the distinctive long skull similar to a whale.

• With time, the fossils also showed that Pakicetus possessed an ear bone with a characteristic specific to whales.

Thus, pakicetus can be considered as the first whale who exhibited certain similar anatomic features like that of a whale.

The part of the colon located distal to the left colic flexure is derived from the hindgut is supplied by the inferior mesenteric artery. The distal part (lower third of the rectum) is supplied by the internal iliac artery. The ileocolic artery supplying the cecum is a branch of the superior mesenteric artery.

Diagnose: Mrs. Harris is a 60 year old white woman. She has noticed in recent years that her height has slightly decreased. Rece
Brut [27]

<u>Answer:</u>

Q: Which skeletal system <u>disorder</u> might she be suffering from?

A: <u>Osteoporosis</u>

Q: What <u>techniques</u> could be used to diagnose her condition?

A: <u>Bone mineral density (BMD) test</u> or <u>dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan</u>

Q: What treatments are available?

A: Medication, healthy food.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>The vertebral discs between vertebrae could shrink with age</u>. Therefore, a height loss up to 1-inch is normal. However, if the height loss is more then it is possibly due to <u>osteoporosis</u>.

A <u>bone mineral density test</u>, also known as <u>dual energy X-ray absorptiometry</u> scan, is a well-adapted test to measure the amount of calcium and other minerals in the bones. It uses <u>X-rays</u> to measure the content of calcium and thus strength of bones.

A person who is already suffering from osteoporosis should be treated with <u>medicine</u> right away so that it <u>stops</u> further <u>deterioration of the bones</u> and <u>avoid any future bone fractures</u>. Further, it can be handled by <u>eating a healthy diet</u> and <u>supplements</u> such as <u>vitamins D</u>. In case some of the bones/vertebrae are <u>already fractured</u>, <u>surgical approaches</u> might be necessary.
