Answer:

3:1

Explanation:

Let the allele for tall plant be T;     &

The allele for short plant be t

When Mendel crossed true-breeding tall pea plants(i.e TT) with true-breeding short pea plants(I.e tt); all the offspring were tall.

TT  ×  tt

                     T                    T

t                    Tt                    Tt

t                   Tt                     Tt

we can deduce from the punnet square that the F1 offspring are all heterozygous tall plant.

Now, if the first generation (F1) tall plants are allowed to self-pollinate; we have a cross between Tt and Tt

TT  ×  tt

                     T                    t

T                    TT                    Tt

t                     Tt                     tt

We can see phenotypically that we have 3 tall plant(TT,Tt, Tt) and 1 short plant(tt).

Therefore the ratio of phenotypes he expected in the F2 generation is (3:1)

What are the potential benefits, if any, and the side effects of each of the following supplements: steriods, diuretics, creatin
ehidna [41]

Answer:

Steroids are prescribed to treat the condition of inadequate testosterone production, to treat the injury, and to initiate puberty. Some of the potential side effects of steroids are that in males it can cause reduction in sperm count, and shrinkage of testicles. While in women, it can cause the growth of body hair and can reduce the size of breasts.  

In both males and females, steroids can cause liver and kidney damage, acne, heart issue, and psychological issues.  

Diuretics help to reduce the amount of fluid in the blood vessels, which further helps to lower the blood pressure. Some of the side effects of diuretics are fatigue, muscle cramps, irregular heartbeat, dehydration, and even death.  

Creatine assists in making muscles to produce more ATP and delay muscle fatigue. Some of the side effects are stomach and muscle cramps, diarrhea, nausea, weight gain, and water retention.  

Stimulants help to reduce fatigue, better alertness and suppress appetite. Some of the side effects are nervousness, irritability, increased blood pressure, insomnia, hallucinations, and heart attack.  

Boron is used in the treatment of osteoarthritis, enhances the levels of testosterone, and for better muscle coordination and better-thinking skills. Some of the side effects of boron are diarrhea, dermatitis, discoloration of feces, vomiting, nausea, and upper abdominal pain.  

Vanadium is used to treat low blood sugar, diabetes, heart issue, high cholesterol, water retention, syphilis, and better athletic performance in weight training, and even prevents cancer. However, it can cause some side effects like green tongue, and diarrhea.
