The body's immune system thinks what he/she is eating or inhaling is a pathogen.  The immune system sends white blood cells to attack.  This triggers an allergic reaction.
For example: I am allergic to asparagus (I'm not joking, I really am) and walnuts.  Anytime I eat one of those, my body's immune system thinks it's a pathogen for some reason and attacks and triggers an allergic reaction in me.  This makes my breathing hard and makes it really itchy.  Good thing it's not that severe so I can eat some if I want, but sometimes allergic reactions could cause hospitalization or death.

A population of 200 mice contains 168 brown mice. brown is dominant to gray. how much of the population would be heterozygous?
Ainat [17]

84%

84% of the population of mice would be heterozygous.

<h3>What does heterozygous mean?</h3>

Heterozygous refers to the presence of two different allele types for the same gene. For a single gene, these alleles display two distinct character types. An illustration would be someone with an allele for both brown and black hair.

There are 200 mice in total, 168 of which are brown.

By the Hardy–Weinberg (HW) equilibrium

q² (bb) = (200 - 168) /200 = 32 / 200 = 0.16

q: √ 0.16 = 0.4

p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.4 =  0.6

p² (BB) = 0.6 x 0.6 = 0.36

Thus, 84% of the population of mice would be heterozygous.

<h3>What is meant by population heterozygosity?</h3>
  • Given that q2 is significantly smaller than 2pq when q is close to zero and p2 is significantly smaller than 2pq when p is close to zero, rare alleles are mostly found in heterozygotes.
  • This is known as population heterozygosity.

1) What is rust ? ...​
Lerok [7]

Explanation:

Rust is the term we use to describe red iron oxides produced when ferrous metals corrode. Rust is the common name for the chemicals that result when iron reacts with oxygen and water. “Rust” is poorly defined in chemistry, however—lots of chemicals can be formed when iron is left exposed.
