<h2>Scurvy </h2>
Explanation:
(a) Collagen is the major structural component of cartilage,bones and tendons
- The basic unit of collagen is tropocollagen and each tropocollagen consists of three coiled left handed polypeptide chains called α chains
- Generally each α chain consists of a repeating tripeptide sequence called: G-X-Y
- Here G represents glycine; X represents proline and Y represents hydroxyproline
- Rigidity of collagen molecule is due to presence of proline and hydroxyproline
- Hydroxylation of proline is catalysed by prolyl hydroxylase enzyme which use ascorbate,α ketoglutarate and oxygen
- α ketoglutarate is oxidatively decarboxylated to form carbon dioxide and succinate
- Sequence of events leading from a dietary vitamin C deficiency to symptoms such as bruising and breakdown of supporting tissues includes: tissue levels of ascorbic acid is low; enzyme prolyl hydroxylase is inactive; proline is not hydroxylated; the triple helix is inadequately stabilized; collagen breaks down; defects in tissues that depend on collagen
; tissues that depend on collagen are subject to breakdown and bruising
(b) Sailors are no longer susceptible to scurvy because fresh fruits which are the source of vitamin C source are available now
British sailors called "limeys" to this day,this term reflects the British navy's use of limes
Both have an inverse relationship.
Explanation:
The two have an inverse relationship, that is, when elevation increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.
This is due to the amount of air on top of you at your current elevation.
At lower elevations, you have more air above you, and thus more pressure.
At higher elevations, you have less air above you, and thus less pressure.
At high elevation food takes longer time too cook due to low pressure, so at high altitude pressure cooker is used to cook food.
OK, :)

How does atmospheric pressure affect
The correct option is A.
Living organisms depend on their environment to survive, when there are changes in the environment which are not favorable to the living organisms, it will eventually leads to the wiping out of the living organisms. As time goes on and the environment recover, the living organisms that will be found in the new environment are those who will be able to survive in it.
You would expect a 3:1 ratio of dominant to recessive.
Two heterozygous, or hybrid, organisms with the genotypes, say, Aa, could yield these 4 offspring: AA, Aa, Aa, and aa. The first 3 have dominant phenotypes, and the last has recessive.

Answer;
Klebsiella pneumoniae
Explanation;
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a bacterium that normally lives inside human intestines, where it doesn't cause disease.
However, if K. pneumoniae gets into other areas of the body, it can cause a range of different illnesses.These include: Pneumonia,Bloodstream infections,Wound infections, Surgical site infections,Meningitis, and Urinary tract infections (UTI).
