Which of the following would indicate that a person has developed a hereditary form of hypertension

Biology
1 answer:
Salsk061 [2.6K]3 years ago
5 0

The hereditary form of hypertension is detected when the adrenal gland produces too much aldosterone.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hypertension is an important risk factor for several cardiovascular disease. If prolonged it damages the blood vessels causing malfunctioning of the heart, kidneys and brain. Hypertension can be caused due to various genetic or environmental factors.

There are cases where familial hypertension are detected. This is caused due to the mutation in a single gene which is passed on to the generations where even in young age the children are seen affected with hypertension.

This in medical terms is termed as familial hyperaldosteronism type II. This is occurred due to the mutation in CLCN2 gene. It tends to produce too much of aldosterone hormone which causes high blood pressure.

The table below shows the radioactive decay of' a 10 kg sample of carbon-14. Create a graph using the data
tatyana61 [14]

C-14 half-life is the time it takes for half of the isotope mass to decay into its daughter form. Line graphs are the best way to represent data about half-lives and the amount of isotope (gr).

<h3>What is Carbon 14?</h3>

Carbon 14, also known as radiocarbon, is a radioactive carbon isotope.

Isotopes are the atoms of the same element -carbon- that vary in neutrons and, hence, in their massic number. They are alternative forms of the same element.

The radioactive C14 nucleus contains 6 protons and 8 neutrons and has a half-life of 5730 years.

The term <u>half-life</u> is a reference. It means that an organism that has been dead for 5730 years has half the C14 amount or concentration than the same organism had when it was alive.

In other words, the half-life is the time it takes for half the mass of this isotope to become its daughter form.

Knowing the half-life of an element is useful to determine the age of the dead matter.

C14 is used in radiocarbon dating techniques or methods to estimate the age of fossils. This is a reliable technique used for dating organic samples that are less than 50,000 years old.

An easy way of representing the change in mass of the isotope through the years is to make a line graph, which is easy to interpret and compare the information.

In this example, our line graph must represent the number of half-lives related to the amount of parent isotope in grams.

The table details the years and the amount of isotope. So, by kowing the half-life of C-14, we can get how many half-lives there are.

5,700 years ---------- 1 half-life

11,400 years--------- X = 2 half-lives ⇒ (5700 x 2) or (11,400/5,700)

17,100 years -------- X = 3 half-lives ⇒ (5700 x 3) or (17,100/5,700)

22,800 years ------ X = 4 half-lives ⇒ (5700 x 4) or (22.800/5,700)

28,500 years ------ X = 5 half-lives ⇒ (5700 x 5) or (28,500/5,700)

34,200 years ------ X = 6 half-lives ⇒ (5700 x 6) or (32,200/5,700)

39,900 years ------ X = 7 half-lives ⇒ (5700 x 7) or (39,900/5,700)

45,600 years ------ X = 8 half-lives ⇒ (5700 x 8) or (45,600/5,700)

51,300 years ------- X = 9 half-lives ⇒ (5700 x 9) or (51,300/5,700)

Now, we can make a new table,

<u>Number of half-lives       Carbon-14 (g) </u>

                0 ..............................10,000

                 1 ...............................5,000

                 2................................2,500

                 3 ................................1,250

                 4 ................................  625

                 5 ................................  312

                 6 ................................  156

                 7 .................................   78

                 8 .................................   39

<u>                  9 .................................   20         </u>

<u />

Finally, we can make the line graph using the data of this new table. You will find it in the attached files.

In conclusion, the best graph you can make is a line graph, and if they ask you to graph the number of half-lives and give you the number of years, you can just make the conversion using the half-life of the isotope.

Leni [432]

Answer:

Francesco Redi's experiment was the first experiment that disproved the theory of sponatenous generation. He explained that life cannot originate from the inorganic or non living matter.

He placed the two maggots in two different jars. The one jar is uncovered and contains meats in which maggots appear. The another jar is covered and no maggots appear on meat. This explains that maggots flies eggs are not formed in the covered jar as eggs are not available for the life. Maggots do not originate from the meat.Life originate from the pre existing life.

How did Pangea breakup contribute to evolution
swat32
<span>If a geological barrier (like a continent splitting apart) separates a population of primates, then each population will evolve separately to fit the different conditions of their environments.

As a hypothetical example, if one part of Pangea went north, the primates on that part would adapt to cold temperatures. If the other part went toward the equator, those primates would adapt to heat and direct sunlight. Eventually they would evolve into different species over many generations.</span>
