You are studying a disorder that is based on the genetic composition at three loci. Assume that a dominant allele at any locus a

dds 6 units of risk for the disorder and that a recessive allele at any locus adds 2 units of risk for the disorder. Individuals with 29 or more units of risk develop the disorder. The environment does not affect the presence or absence of this disorder. How many risk units will be present in an individual of genotype AABbCc?

Answer:

28 units

Explanation:

This disorder follows quantitative inheritance. It is controlled by three genes which do not show the usual dominant-recessive relationship . The six alleles individually contribute to the effect which add up to produce the cumulative phenotype. Dominant allele contributes 6 units of risk whereas recessive allele contributes 2 units of risk.

Individual with genotype AABbCc has four dominant alleles (AABC) and two recessive alleles (bc). So their total risk units =

(6*4) + (2*2) = 24 + 4

= 28 units

When a rat's ventromedial nucleus is destroyed, the rat will:
ExtremeBDS [4]

The correct answer is C. It continues to eat the amount of food it does normally.


When rat's ventromedial nucleus is destroyed the rat will become more hyper physics and it continues to eat until it has doubled its normal weight.

Ventromedial nucleus of hypothalamus is termed as nucleus of hypothalamus.

It is a distinct morphological nucleus which involved in terminating hunger, fear, sexual activity and thermoregulation.

Ventromedial nucleus of hypothalamus is divided into subdivisions. For example, dorsomedial, ventrolateral, central and anterior. VMN is most commonly associated with satiety. In rats ventromedial nucleus is caused by over-eating and obesity.

Why do you think cells have different functions?
coldgirl [10]

Cells of various types have different functions because cell structure and function are closely related. It is apparent that a cell that is very thin is not well suited for a protective function.

The magnets point North when the Earth's magnetic field has (p2)<br><br>need some help :)​
Natali5045456 [20]
<h2><u>EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELD</u></h2>

The magnets point North when the Earth's magnetic field has?

<h2><u>ANSWER</u></h2>

I think the best answer for this question is Magnetic Reversal or Geomagnetic Reversal.

In geomagnetism, the term "geomagnetic reversal" also known as 'flip', is the process by which the North pole becomes South pole and the South pole transforms into North pole.

<h2><u>THE MAGNETIC REVERSAL</u></h2>

The reversals happen on rare occasions when iron molecules start moving towards the opposite direction as other iron molecules around them within the Earth's spinning outer core.
