Alcohol do decrease the release of Antidiuretic hormone. Its absorption is also slowed down by amount of food in stomach.

Option A and D.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Alcohol is very much related with decreasing effect on pituitary gland to release the Anti Diuretic Hormone or ADH which is actually responsible for the reabsorption of water through kidneys. So consumption of alcohol may make a person dehydrated.

Its mainly metabolized in liver by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase into aldehydes and then into acids which are further metabolized into several products.

Alcohol has a negative effect on REM sleep which is actually the main part of sleep cycle.

Alcohol dehydrogenase is an enzyme which metabolize the alcohol in liver. In females, the amount of alcohol dehydrogenase is less than what is found in males. So they often have alcohol toxicity much faster than males.

You breed a plant that has purple flowers with a plant that has orange flowers and the resulting offspring has purple and orange
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is the expression of phenotype of two paired alleles (i.e dominant and recessive allele) all together.

Usually when two alleles get paired, the characteristics of the dominant allele is expressed while the characteristics associated with recessive alleles are expressed only when the two recessive allele get paired.

Here in this case the characteristics of both type of allele are expressed i.e. both orange and purple strips appear in the offspring. Hence, this case shows the incomplete dominance.
