The condition which is most likely to cause death of a botulism patient is Respiratory failure.

Explanation:

The causal organism of Botulism is the bacteria <em>Clostridium botulinum.</em>

It is usually found in canned food and causes a very severe food poisoning.

The bacteria release botulinum toxin on reaching the intestine of the person and from their the toxins are absorbed into the blood.

Botulism mainly effects the neuromuscular system of the body. .

The basic symptoms of botulism is characterised by weaknes in limbs , jaws and eyes.

A decreased muscular activity sometimes causes constipation due to slowed down peristalsis.

Sometimes nausea , vomiting and diarrhea may occur.

If left untreated and in severe cases, the toxins may proceed to effect the respiratory muscle thus hindering the proper breathing and gaseous exchange.

A further damage could result in the respiratory failure.

Proteins

Proteins is the most thermogenic of all nutrients and macromolecules we eat. Thermogenesis is the generation of due to digestion and metabolism of food.  Studies shows that  proteins tend to be more thermogenic that carbohydrates and fats. This means that the calorie given of by proteins is converted and released as heat and less available for storage. This means that the stored energy formed from protein much of it is released as heat and unlike other macromolecules few of it is converted to a energy that can be stored.

1. Explain how the traits of an organism are related to the genes in DNA.
viktelen [127]

Genes in DNA or responsible for the traits an organism has. This is caused by Dominant and Recessive Traits. Remember that Genotypes are the genetic letters such as RR, Rr, and rr. Phenotype is physical traits.

Dominant Traits are more likely or always show in the offspring. The Dominant Genotype uses Capital letters such as RR.

Recessive Traits are less likely to show up. Their Genotype use lower case such as rr. Now genotypes of Rr have one dominant trait and one recessive trait. If the dominant trait was black fur and the recessive white fur, the offspring will be black fur because dominant traits overpower the other.

To understand how to know if an organism will have Dominant or Recessive Genes, you have to use something called a Punnet Square. Lets imagine 2 parents both have the genotype Rr. R is Black fur and r is white fur. As you can see from the chart, 3 of 4 boxes have Rr and 1 rr. Since there is a Dominant Trait with a Recessive, they will show a Dominant Phenotype, or Black fur. This has 3/4 chance and a 1/4 chance for white fur in the offspring.
