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>

The output region is the site of ______________________.
tester [92]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C (voltage gated Na+ channels).

Explanation:

Output region or axon terminal is the structure of neuron which transmits the signals to other nerve cells.

The signal is transferred via action potential generated by the dendrite cell which moves along the axon and reaches the synaptic junction.  

At the synaptic junction, voltage-gated channel (Na+) channels located in the membrane of the axon terminal cell opens due to the changes in the electric membrane potential which play important role in returning the depolarized cell to a resting state.

Thus, option C (voltage-gated Na+ channels) is the correct answer.
