What is the Hepatic Portal Vein?​

Biology
2 answers:
belka [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: The hepatic portal vein is one of the most important vein that receives blood from the body and transports it into the liver for filtration and processing. This vein is part of the hepatic portal system that receives all of the blood draining from the abdominal digestive tract, as well as from the pancreas, gallbladder, and spleen.

‘Hepatic’ means of or relating to the liver, therefore the hepatic portal vein is a blood vessel that sends nutrient-rich blood from the gastrointestinal tract and spleen to the liver, but also delivers toxins to the liver that will be chemically modified in the proces of detoxication

Answer:

Explanation:

hepatic portal vein is located in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen. It is typically 8 centimeters long in adults. The portal vein is responsible for carrying blood from the GI tract, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen to the liver.The hepatic portal vein originates behind the neck of the pancreas and is usually formed by the convergence of the superior mesenteric vein and the splenic vein, referred to as the splenic-mesenteric confluence.

Albinism is inherited as autosomal recessive trait. The frequency of the disease in the population equals to 1:20 000. Calculate
prisoha [69]

Answer:

0.0139- frequency of heterozygotes in the population

Explanation:

Let q to the power of 2 represents the frequency of the homozygous recessive (aa) = 1/20000 = 0.00005

This, q = √q^2 = √0.00005 = 0.007

Since p + q = 1

p = 1 - 0.007 = 0.993

Using the formula: p^2 + 2pq + q^2

Where 2pq represents the frequency of the heterozygotes, thing we have

2 x 0.007 x 0.993

= 0.0139

A molecule that has regions of partial positive and partial negative charge
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

A) polar

Explanation:

Polar molecules contains  partial positive and partial negative charge as in all polar molecules two atoms have unequal sharing electron. Due to unequal sharing of electrons, one atom that attracts valence electrons strongly gains positive charge and other gain negative charge.

For example water, water is a polar molecule having partial negative and partial positive charge because the oxygen atom in water attracts electrons more strongly than the hydrogen atoms.

Hence, the correct answer is "A) polar".

Which of the following is true about offspring resulting from a cross that yielded TT, Tt, TT, ans Tt?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Additional detail found elsewhere: (T = Tall and t = short)

Answer:

All are expected to be tall

Explanation:

We are told that the T allele produces the tall trait, and the t allele produces the short trait.

Because the tall allele is denoted by an uppercase letter, it means it is the dominant allele, meaning if it is present even in one copy, the trait will be expressed. This is in contrast to the recessive short allele, 2 copies are needed for the trait to be expressed.

Individuals have 2 copies of every gene. Offspring that are TT, Tt, TT, and Tt all have at least one copy of the T (tall allele). Because this is the dominant allele, that means all of these offspring would be expected to be tall.
