The correct option is A. ALS is an acronym for Amyotrophic Lateral Scelerosis; it is a disease that attack nerve cells in the brain and in the spinal cord which are necessary for voluntary movement. It is a progressive neurodegenerative disease which most people lost due to respiratory failure.

The patients suffering from ALS eventually succumb to the disease by respiratory failure.

ALS or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive neuro-degenerative disease. This disease affects simple movements of the muscles like swallowing and muscular cramps and twitches are common in this. Some people with ALS choose invasive ventilation for breathing but most people lose the battle with ALS due to respiratory failure.

Help please !! I really don’t understand this much☹️
morpeh [17]
Ok, so I wrote these out just to make it a little bit easier for you to understand what I am about to explain.

So for the first one you have two different traits that can be inherited- having freckles or having no freckles, F and f respectively. The dominant trait (or having freckles) is shown by the capital F, and is almost always expressed over the recessive trait, or the lowercase f. So, for example, if you have a genotype of Ff, the trait having freckles will show up instead of not having freckles. The only way that you could have the trait of no freckles show up is if there are two recessive alleles for having no freckles, or ff. In this case, you have two parents who are both heterozygous for the trait of having freckles, so in other words the mother has Ff and the father has Ff. Each parent passes down one allele to the offspring, so since you are breeding Ff and Ff, you should result in having the possible genotypes of FF, Ff, Ff, and ff. This means that there is a 25% chance that the offspring will be homozygous for having freckles, a 50% chance that the offspring will be heterozygous for having freckles and a 25% chance that they would be homozygous for having no freckles, or a 1:2:1 ratio.

Incomplete dominance is a little bit different that just a normal monohybrid cross. Instead of just the dominant gene showing up in a heterozygous genotype, both traits show up. So like the question says, if a homozygous red flower plant was crossed with a homozygous white flower plant, their offspring would not just be white or red, they would be pink because it is a mixture of white and red. So then if you crossed the heterozygous, or Rr plants, the result would be a 25% chance of getting a homozygous RR red plant, a 50% chance of getting a pink Rr plant, and a 25% chance of getting a white rr plant, or another 1:2:1 ratio.

Sorry for the wordy answer, but hopefully this helps you understand this a little better :)

Lipids, mainly phospholipids, make up the bulk of the cell membrane. How is the structure of the phospholipid so perfectly paire
anastassius [24]
Im going to say that its <span>d. The head of the phospholipid, which is hydrophilic, helps to control the movement of large hydrophobic molecules, and the tails of the phospholipid, which are hydrophobic, help to control the movement of large hydrophilic moleculeus. </span>

Which of these practices best qualifies as a pseudoscience? developing ways to use star patterns to travel at night
GuDViN [60]

Using the smells of different oils to help a person feel energized is a pseudo science. Thus option C is correct.

<h3>What is pseudoscience ?</h3>

pseudoscience is nothing but a fake science completely different from real science.

It does not work on scientific facts so not genuine as it involves explanations, subjective ideas.

Some examples include Graphology, numerology, and astrology.

It is not accurate, completely empirical observation based, complex, based on different motivations, personal gain.

pseudoscience does not have any scientific standards, scientific hypothesis, experiment, method, result, falsifiability of claims etc.

Thus option C is correct.
