8 0

Answer:

Weakening of digestive smooth muscle with age can cause constipation.

Explanation:

Smooth muscles in the digestive system have the role to move food down the tract via radially symmetrical contractions (peristalsis). With age, the function of smooth muscles reduces, causing the food to move more slowly through the alimentary canal (digestive tract). As a consequence, water gets absorbed from food waste, which can cause constipation.

ANSWER: MITRAL VALVE STENOSIS

EXPLANATION:

The child have the risk of having MITRAL VALVE STENOSIS. It is also referred to as mitral stenosis.

Mitral valve stenosis occurs as results of the mitral valve opening narrowing. Which effect to less blood flowing through it.

The mitral valve is located between two chambers (the atrium and the ventricle) on the left side of your heart.

However, Mitral valve stenosis can lead to different health issues, including blood clots, difficulty breathing, fatigue, and heart failure.

Mitral valve stenosis is specifically caused by rheumatic fever (a childhood disease). This rheumatic fever occurs has a result of the body's immune response to an infection associated with the streptococcal bacteria.

Acute rheumatic fever affects the joints and the heart greatly. It causes joints inflammation temporarily and in severe case causes chronic disability.

Nevertheless, this cardiac complication have treatment and it is based on whether the affected individuals shows symptoms. Medications like blood thinners or anticoagulants (to reduce the risk of blood clots), diuretics, antiarrhythmics (to cure abnormal heart rhythms), beta-blockers (to slow your heart) etc, are being administered based on the level of the complication.

Primary spermatocytes are diploid (2n) cells with all of the organelles typically found in eukaryotic animal cells. Spermatogene
Aneli [31]

Answer: a. Genetic recombination (crossing over)

b. Can also be explained in terms of crossing over

c. Non disjunction of homologous chromosomes in meiosis 1

Explanation:

The process that allows for the transfer of both the paternal and maternal materials to is the crossing over process that takes at meiosis 1 changing them to secondary spermatocytes. While they are still primary spermatocytes, they are still diploid cells having both the maternal and paternal chromosomes. But since the spermatozoon is an haploid cell, it is able to retail some of both parents chromosome by the crossing over event which takes place between homologous paternal and maternal chromosomes allowing them to exchange materials. Thus the chromosomal contents of the primary spermatocyte differs from that of the spermatozoon.

C. This can occur as a result of the one of the homologous chromosome pair refusing to separate at meiosis 1 with one gamete containing 4 chromosomes/8 sister chromatids and the second having 2 chromosomes/4 sister chromatids.
