The major buffer in blood is composed of the weak acid carbonic acid (H2CO3) and its conjugate base, bicarbonate ion (HCO3 - ).

The normal pH of blood is 7.2-7.4, which is very far removed from the pKa value. The pH is kept in check by the lungs, which remove CO2 via exhalation, and by the kidneys, which excrete acid (H3O ) in the urine. People with impaired lung function are not able to exchange carbon dioxide efficiently between the lungs and air. The result is an increase in the amount of CO2 dissolved in the blood. How does this affe?

Answer:

The increase in the amount of  carbon dioxide in in blood will lead to respiratory acidosis

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide in its normal level between  38 to 42 mm Hg plays vital roles in the human body like regulating the PH of the human blood, breathing regulation and other things. If the amount of carbon dioxide is high more than the range level, it will cause what is called respiratory acidosis.

Respiratory acidosis is a situation in cause by decrease in ventilation i.e Oxygen level leading to increase in carbon dioxide and drop in PH level of the blood.

A woman who is a carrier for colour blindness (X-linked recessive) has children with a man who has normal colour vision. A. What
viva [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Genotype of the  woman is XCbXN

The man XNY

Since the allele for the color blindness is carried on one of the X -chromosomes of the  carrier mother, then  the male children will be color blind or carrier deopending on the defective gene they inherited. Since they will receive the defective or normal  allele from the  mothers,but the female will carriers or normal because they will inherit either defective allele or normal allele from the mother,but normal  X allele from the father.

Assuming the colorbind gene was inherited by One of the boys, and the girls take the defective genes

1. XNY vs XCbXN.Then the one of the  boys will be colorblind  and the one of  girls will be carriers. XNXCb, XNXN, XCbY,XNY  50 %

2.If the two boys take the effective genes from the mothers. and none of the girls take the defective alelle

Then the two boys will be colorblind and the girls will be carrries XcbY,XcbY and XNXN XNXN.(normal girls).

The proportions that will be  the females  since the girls can only take the defective allele from one of the normal and defective allele from the mother. Assuming the girls  take the defective allele from the mothers and take normal from the father,they will all  be carriers,since the X of the father is normal.

They can not have a color blind girl.Since the father is normal It takes two colorblind X-chromosome to give a girl.
