Answer:

d) folic acid

Explanation:

Neural tube defects (NTD) are birth defects that occur in some specialized regions such as the brain and spinal cord. They are considered and bethink as  a complex disorder because they are caused by combination of environmental and multiple genetic factors. Environmental factors include low folic acid intake, maternal use of certain anticonvulsant medications. etc. On the other hand multiple genetic factors can include spina bifida (an phenomena whereby there is incomplete closing of the spine and membranes surrouning the  spinal cord at the  initial stage of development of fetus in pregnancy.

During pregnancy, folate requirements increase due to the result of rapidly dividing cells related to fetal growth. It is of great advantage that pregnant woman should increase their folic acid supplements intake to (400-800μg daily)  prior to conception, this  can help and assist to reduce the risk for neural tube defects in the fetus.

Why would you not expect to find any photosynthetic organisms in the aphotic zone of a lake?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

There is little to no sunlight in the aphotic zone.

Explanation:

The aphotic zone is the deepest part of a lake/ocean, so no light is able to penetrate into those depths. Without light, photosynthetic organisms will not be able to undergo photosynthesis and will therefore not be able to survive.

Determine the genotype of the purple flower if purple (P) is dominant and white (p) is recessive
weqwewe [10]
The question is about a test cross. Definition of a test cross: Generally a cross involving a homozygous recessive individual. When a single trait is being studies, a test cross is a cross between an individual with the dominant phenotype but of unknown genotype (homozygous or heterozygous) with a homozygous recessive individual. If the unknown is heterozygous, then approximately 50% of the offspring should display the recessive phenotype. If the individual is homozygous all the progeny will have the dominant phenotype. James' suggestion to use show the result of the two possible crosses with a Punnet square is a great suggestion.

Lesechka [4]

Answer: The troubling reality of humanity's over-sized and still expanding population and create highly effective programs to solve the problem. Our efforts focus on specific attitudinal drivers of ongoing rapid population growth.

Explanation: In fact, world population growth remains totally unsustainable over 230,000 people are added to world population each day. That is a net gain - births minus deaths. But few people understand the true drivers of this increasing world population. Even fewer know how to effectively intervene.  Long established and widely practiced social norms low status of women & girls, bias against modern contraception, and large ideal family size are the strongest drivers rapid growth of the population. If somebody tries to tell you that population growth is "slowing down," ask them to explain the graphic on the left.
