Answer:
The given blank can be filled with cytokine storm.
Explanation:
Generally, influenza is self-restricting. Though serious cases can result in pneumonia and other issues, which can be deadly. However, such cases are very common in the elderly and in very young individuals. There are certain strains of the influenza virus, which are more dangerous to young adults in comparison to old or very young.
The strains, which influence young adults are considered to comprise a cytokine storm, that is, a positive feedback loop, which produces in between the production of cytokines and leukocytes. This cytokine storm generates an acute inflammatory reaction, which results in brisk accumulation of fluid in the lungs, resulting in pulmonary failure. The very young or very old are less vulnerable to this influence as their immune systems are less strong.
As he traveled, Darwin noticed three distinctive patterns of biological diversity: (1) Species vary globally, (2) species vary locally, and (3) species vary over time. Darwin noticed that different, yet ecologically similar, animal species inhabited separated, but ecologically similar, habitats around the globe.
50 percent of the offspring would be expected to have the ability to roll their tongues If a heterozygous male is crossed with a homozygous recessive female.
Explanation:
Information given:
the ability to roll tongue is dominant, the genotype would be RR, Rr
the inability to roll tongue is recessive trait the genotype = rr
Given that heterozygous male is crossed with homozygous recessive female, the genotype is
Rr X rr
Punnet square shows that:
R r
r Rr rr
r Rr rr The genotype ratio is 1:1
phenotype ratio is 1:1
There are chances of 50 % offspring having the ability to roll their tongues as they are heterozygous and have the dominant allele for rolling of tongues.
Explanation:
Sediment discharge was historically approximately 270 million cubic meters/year of suspended load and 130 million cubic meters/year of bedload. This has decreased 80% since 1850 and can be divided into three periods: historical period (pre 1900), pre-dam period (1932-1952), and post dam (1963-1982). Suspended sediment loads declined 43% between the historical and pre-dam and 51% from pre-dam to post-dam periods. The size of sediment also decreased drastically including a 72% decrease in the sand fraction. Most of this is due to dams on the tributaries acting as sediment traps primarily for the coarser sediments. Large-scale land clearing for agriculture contributed to increased sediment loads in the historic period.
