Answer:

Pleiotropy

Explanation:

Marfan syndrome is an example of pleiotropy, which can be defined as the phenomenon in which a pair of allele genes conditions the appearance of several traits in the same organism.

All of these traits occur through the action of only one pair of genes, so pleiotropy shows that the idea that each gene affects only one trait is not always valid.

In other words, a pleiotropic gene can have an effect on several phenotypes at the same time, due to the fact that the mutated gene is used by a group of cells (or targets) that have the same signaling function.

Crazy boy [7]
The correct answer would be stress tests. These are performed to assess the adequacy of the amount of oxygen getting to the heart muscle during exercise and at rest. With this, the absence or presence of a heart disease can be indicated. This is a common procedure done in Cardiography and Cardiovascular Monitoring Services. During this test, the patient is asked to do exercises usually using a treadmill while the patient is hooked on an EKG or electrocardiogram machine. As one exercises, the doctor would monitor the heart rate reading the systole and the diastole. There are also imaging tests to be able to capture pictures of the blood flow in the heart.

Describe the circumstances that cause a lunar eclipse to occur. What causes the moon to appear an orangish red during a total lu
Elodia [21]
A lunar eclipse happens when the Moon passes directly behind the Earth and into its shadow. This can only happen when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned. Because of this, a lunar eclipse can only happen on the night of a full moon.

The moon gives off a reddish appearance during this time because the only light reaching the moon and reflected off of its surface is the light refracted by the Earth's atmosphere (the same reason a sunrise/sunset appears reddish).

A totally eclipsed full moon is also known as a Blood Moon because of it's colour

Following a meal glucose must move from the gut lumen where there is a high glucose concentration into the intestinal cell where
Alchen [17]

This movement from a high concentration area to a low concentration are is called Active transport.

<h3>Active Transport</h3>

Active transport by definition is a process that is characterized by the movement of molecules against a concentration gradient. Additionally, this process requires energy.

As in the question above, glucose molecules have to be moved across the gut lumen of higher glucose concentration to the intestinal cells of relatively low level of glucose.
