Phenotype - short , Tall

Genotype - tt (short) , TT or Tt (tall)

<u>Explanation:</u>

In Mendelian Genetics, <em>Dominant traits</em> are represented by capital letters and <em>Recessive traits</em> are represented by small letters.

So if height is the character considered, then the traits would be short and tall.

Tall is the dominant phenotype and short is the recessive phenotype.

The alleles of the gene for height are T and t.

The genotype for Tall trait is TT or Tt.

The genotype for short trait is tt.

Therefore, the symbol representation of phenotype (Tall) is TT or Tt and for phenotype (short) is tt.

Heart rate decreased suddenly and then MAP immediately fell because peripheral blood vessels were extensively vasodilated.

Explanation:

A VO2 max test is a clinical test done in a lab and is the ‘golden standard’ for measuring the potential and cardio-respiratory endurance of athletes and bikers.

It measures the oxygen carrying capability through a graded step test which determines the average power output. The maximal oxygen uptake along with cardiorespiratory responses is measured.

As per exercise physiology, the heart rate and cardiac output increases with exercise. When the potential is less, the resistance decreases, heart rate and mean arterial pressure also decrease .

Intrinsic factor A. increases gastric motility. B. causes the release of stomach acid. C. facilitates the absorption of vitamin
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

C. facilitates the absorption of vitamin B12.

Explanation:

The Intrinsic factor is a substance that is produced by the stomach and it has the important function of producing vitamin B12 which is necessary for life. Vitamin B12 is used in the production of mature red blood cells. It also improves the function of the nervous system. The production of this intrinsic factor is a very vital role of the stomach because, in the absence of a stomach, for example, in the case of a gastrectomy, a person can only survive if he is given injections of Vitamin B12.

The stomach also serves as a holding center for food and eventually delivers the food to the small intestine and the duodenum.
