Answer: option D - the breakdown of essential proteins of the brain and heart

Explanation:

During starvation (food deprivation), the body cells begins to utilize the glycogen reserves in the liver and muscle. Then, it switches to the fats (stored in the adipose tissues).

If starvation persists, the body turns to the proteins for energy derivation. At this stage, the person's DYING STATE is usually visible because the muscles of the body shrinks greatly.

Note that DEATH set in when essential proteins of the BRAIN and HEART are metabolized to produce energy due to the vital functions both organs do in the overall body processes.

Burka [1]

Answer:

Selective Optimization With Selection.

Explanation:

It is known that this theory was widely known from 1980s and was postulated by a man called Baltes. Baltes here argued that as individuals advance through life they are increasingly faced by age related deficits which place limits on their cognitive and behavioral resources. Tackling these limits placed on domains, individuals will begin to invest resources into particular styles and behaviors that are deemed adaptive to the new constraints.

State one way a complete blockage at location X would affect the reproductive process ? Please answer !!
Romashka [77]

Answer:

There would be no fertilization.

Explanation:

When the fallopian tube is blocked, even after ovulation (an egg released by the ovary), it will be unable to travel down the fallopian tube towards the uterus. This way, even when the sperm swim up to the tube (where fertilization  of the egg usually occur) after copulation, it will be unable to meet the egg and fertilize it. There will never be conception as long as there is blockage on location X.

Explain what terms in the Hardy-Weinberg equation give: allele frequencies (dominant allele, recessive allele, etc.) each genoty
zysi [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hardy Weinberg equation is presented below and describes that in a population the frequency of alleles ad genotypes will remain static or the same in the absence of evolutionary disturbances such as mutation, migration ( gene flow), natural selection and with the population large and random mating

p² +2pq + q²

where p represents the frequency of the dominant alleles

q represent the frequency of the recessive alleles

p² represent the frequency of the dominant homozygous genotype

q² represent the frequency of the recessive homozygous genotype

2pq represent the frequency of the heterozygous genotype

q² also represent the frequency of the recessive phenotype

(p² + 2pq) represent the frequency of the dominant phenotype
