Why is mating between blood relatives discouraged from a genetic perspective?

2 answers:

4 0

The mating between blood relatives discouraged from a genetic perspective to avoid the expression of certain recessive genetic diseases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mendelian genetics proved us that there are 2 different traits namely the dominant trait and the recessive trait. The dominant trait gets expressed even if it is single whereas the recessive trait gets expressed only when both the haploid alleles are recessive in nature.

Most of the deadly genetic diseases are recessive in nature and hence if it is from the same family the 2 recessive alleles have a possibility to join together thereby causing the disease.

Inbreeding is simply defined as the mating of relatives. It is a mating system in which individuals carry alleles that originated from a common ancestor. Inbreeding is considered a problem in humans because inbreeding increases the chances of receiving a deleterious recessive allele inherited from a common ancestor.

Which conditions need to be in balance for cells to function? Check all that apply.

sergejj [24]

For body cells to function properly, the following conditions need to be balanced:
1. BLOOD SUGAR
2. BODY WATER
3. BODY TEMPERATURE.
These three factors have to be in the right proportion for the cells and the body as a whole to function properly and to maintain homeostasis.
Blood sugar is the source of energy in the cell and it is required by all cell for carrying out the normal biochemical reactions in the body. The biochemical reactions in the body use water as a medium of reaction, thus the water balance in the body must be maintained. The body temperature also need to be kept at the normal level or else the normal biochemical reaction of the body will not be able to take place, due to the fact that incorrect temperatures deactivate the enzymes that mediate biochemical reactions.
