Answer: The Generalised Slowing Hypothesis Theory

Explanation:

The Generalised Slowing Hypothesis is built upon wide observations in many studies of age related slowing and suggests that it is the primary contributor to the declines in cognitive functioning seen with aging.

As people age, B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes become less active. These cells secrete antibodies and are thus crucial to the immune system. T cells are made in the thymus which shrinks as aging occurs. Thus reducing the body's ability to fight infections as aging occurs.

Through the normal aging process, DNA is damaged by environmental factors such as pollutants and toxic agents. As a result, there is deletions of genetic material and mutations in DNA replicated in new cells. Reduced functioning in cells and tissues occur when these errors accumulate.

Also as aging occurs, glucose molecules attach themselves to proteins and form cross links. These crosslinks reduce the flexibility of tissues making them become stiff. The circulatory systems becomes less efficient since the tissues of the lungs, heart and arteries lose flexibility.

1) In the Punnett square on the right, how many H/h alleles
mr Goodwill [35]

anwser:

  1. one allele from mother, one allele from father
  2. yes, this means the mother's alleles are dominant

Explanation

"The amount of alleles that a baby Guinea pig inherit from the mother are two , 1 from its mother and 1 from its father.

ie: if its mother had a dominant black fur (BB) and its father has recessive grey fur (bb) , there is 100% chance that the baby will has a Bb genotype, which will give them either black fur or dark grey fur."

Yes, the mother likely has several dominant alleles that manifested as a heterozygous genotype in the baby, giving it a phenotype largely similar to its mother.
