If tall plants crossed with short plants give all tall, it means that the tall plants contain genes that dominate over the short ones.
We call the genes for tallness dominant.
Answer:
Dementia
Explanation:
Dementia is a condition that involves impaired mental ability and memory which is common among older adults. This condition, which is a major contributor to disability and placement of older adults in nursing homes, can be as a result of several factors of which nutrition has a major role to play. Metabolic and endocrine problem that results to the inability of the body system to regulate nutrients such as calcium and vitamin B-12, are some of the factors that triggers dementia in older adults. Also, nutritional deficiencies such as dehydration, inadequate intake of vitamin B-1, vitamins B-6, copper,vitamin E, and vitamin B-12 increases the chances of developing dementia in older adults.
Research shows that low levels of vitamin D can be linked to increased risk of developing dementia, and as such, supplements such as B-complex vitamin, vitamin C, and vitamin D is usually recommended for the prevention of dementia, especially when they are deficient in the diets taken.
Answer:
The correct answer is - 0.084
Explanation:
Sickle cell anemia is a autsmal recessive blood disorder of RBCs where RBC shape altered to the sickle shape or cresecent moon that obstruct and damage the veins and artries.
Normal allele is represented by - HbA - p
sickel cell allele is represented by - HbS - q
genotype frequency of normal allele HbA in the population = p2
genptype frequency of HbAHbS in the population = 2pq
genotype frequency of autosomal recessive HbS = q2 = 0.007 (given)
So, the allelic frequency of the recessive allele =
q = √ 0.007 = 0.08366 or 0.084
Answer:
Through simple diffusion, down the concentration gradient.
Explanation:
The phospholipids of the membrane are amphipathic with hydrophillic heads and hydrophobic tails. Other polar molecules cannot go through this hydrophobic interior. Since small uncharged lipids are non polar and hydrohobic, they are able to go through the membrane without the help of transport proteins. Therefore, the last two options can be ruled out because facilitated diffusion includes the use of a protein. Diffusion involves molecules moving down the concentration gradient so the second option can be ruled out.
