Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness. Studies have linked a common form of glaucoma to three genes and more than 20 genetic

loci. Which best describes glaucoma?
a. . a recessive trait that requires multiple recessive alleles to be expressed
b. . a polygenic trait that is influenced by the number of alleles present
c. . a codominant trait that is expressed more often when more dominant alleles are present
d. . a dominant trait that depends on the presence of only one of many dominant alleles

The answer is b. a polygenic trait that is influenced by the number of alleles present.

<span>There are three genes linked to a common form of glaucoma, so it must be the polygenic (meaning more than one gene included) trait. The polygenic traits are influenced by the number of alleles. In this case, there are more than 20 genetic loci which means there must be a great number of alleles for all loci.</span>

Elanso [62]
<span>Oxygen travels to insect tissues through tiny openings in the body walls called spiracles, and then through tiny blind-ended, air-filled tubes called tracheae. Therefore, insects obtain oxygen through the spracles, which are small abdominal holes that lead into traecheal tubes called tracheae that branch into smaller tubes called tracheoles. From there, oxygen diffuses into body cells.</span>

Explain the path blood takes through the cardiovascular system.
irina [24]

Answer:

Blood enters the heart through two large veins, the inferior and superior vena cava, emptying oxygen-poor blood from the body into the right atrium of the heart. As the atrium contracts, blood flows from your right atrium into your right ventricle through the open tricuspid valve.
