densk [106]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The options

A. dyspnea

B. Ataxia

C. cataplexy

D. narcolepsy

Our ANSWER IS D.

D. narcolepsy

Explanation:

It is a chronic sleep disorder which leads to excessive daylight drowsiness.

It may be due to a genetic factor and unusual signal being released in the brain as a result of absence of the brain chemical called hypocretin/orexin, which controls sleep. It is often seen as the effect of the immune system erroneously working against the production of hypocretin in thr brain.

It results in unexpected attacks of sleep, abrupt loss of muscle tone and hallucinations.

Decaying uranium atoms in Earth’s crust result in _____.
snow_tiger [21]
Decaying uranium atoms in the earth's crust result in Radon gas. Radon gas cannot be synthetically or commercially produced.  It is produced as the result of the natural breakdown of uranium i.e. decaying uranium atoms. Radon gas is a naturally occurring radioactive gas. People are exposed to Radon gas via the inhalation and ingestion of the gas. Because it is found in the ground, water or building materials, Radon gas can enter work buildings as well as private dwellings.

Consider a study of two genes, "A" and "B". Each gene has two alleles, represented by upper- and lower-case letters. Assume that
Nata [24]

Answer:

AaBb × aabb

Explanation:

A test cross is a cross between an unknown genotype (dominant phenotype) with a homozygous recessive genotype in order to discover the actual genotype of the species exhibiting dominant phenotype.

This is because one allele of a gene is capable of masking the expression of another, the allele masking is called DOMINANT allele while the allele being masked is called RECESSIVE allele. The combination of these two alleles is termed heterozygosity.

An organism that is phenotypically dominant for a specific trait may either be heterozygous or homozygous for that gene. For example, a plant gene for tallness with an dominant allele T, and recessive allele t. This plant will need tall if the genotype is TT (homozygous dominant) or Tt (heterozygous dominant). In order to know which of these genotypes the plant actually has, a test cross is conducted.

In this example, two genes A and B are involved. For the first gene, A represents dominant allele while a represents recessive allele. For the second gene, B represents dominant allele while b represents recessive allele.

In a cross involving parents AABB (homozygous dominant for both genes) and aabb (homozygous recessive for both genes), the F1 progeny will all exhibit phenotypic dominance (AaBb).

However, we cannot know the genotype by merely looking at the phenotype. We cannot ascertain yet whether the dominance is heterozygous or homozygous, hence the need for a test cross.

The test cross is between the dominant F1 progeny and a homozygous recessive i.e. AaBb × aabb. Some of the F2 generation will show recessive traits if the unknown genotype is heterozygous.
