Answer:
Elastic fibers are made of elastin and microfibrils, that are elastic protein structures. The proteins can be stretched and resume normal shape. These fibers are found in parts of the body such as arteries, skin, lungs, connective tissue and heart that require some stretching. Marfan syndrome affects the elastic connective tissues causing symptoms like dilation of the aorta that doesn't resume normal lumen diameter (aortic aneurysm), and curving of the spine (scoliosis).
The lungs are unable to stretch and resume shape normally and this affects the respiratory system. The subjects will suffer from shortness of breath, wheezing and chest pain.
The sheath/endoneurium of neurons is connective tissue. This part of a neuron allows signals to travel effeciently along the axon of the neuron. This means that a person with Mafran syndrome has a slower response to stimuli that ordinary persons.
Question continuation;
..........type B. Type A is found to be more common in the mainland population from which the island was settled.
How could a geneticist best explain the dominance of blood type B in the island population?
Multiple choices;
A. Random mutations have occurred in the island population.
B. Genetic drift has reduced the frequency of type A individuals.
C. Natural selection has only occurred in the mainland population.
D. Environmental conditions on the island are less favorable for type B individuals.
Answer;
B. Genetic drift has reduced the frequency of type A individuals.
Explanation;
-Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution in which allele frequencies of a population change over generations due to chance.
-It occurs in all populations of non-infinite size, but its effects are strongest in small populations.
