Which of these disorders can develop in an aging person when the rate of aqueous humor production exceeds the rate of removal?

Biology

timurjin [86]3 years ago

The correct answer is glaucoma. Glaucoma is a disease of the eye involving (1) increase in intraocular pressure by either overproduction of aqueous humor or block in the drainage of aqueous humor and (2) optic nerve damage.

If the glaucoma is caused by the imbalance between the production and drainage of aqueous humor, then the proper term is open angle glaucoma which is common in the elderly. Risk factors for open angle glaucoma are diabetes and hypertension.

If the glaucoma is caused by the blockage of the drainage (Canal of Schlemm and trabecular meshwork), then the proper term is acute angle closure glaucoma. Some risks factors also include advancing age and development of cataracts.

Identify the inheritance mode of each condition by using the labels to complete the table. labels can be used once, more than on
yan [13]
Since no table is given, I will explain how genes are inherited. After Mendel’s discoveries were accepted, scientists realized that traits passed to offspring were the result of genes being passed from parents to offspring. This is an example of the law of inheritance. The genes that are passed down from the parents are being shared by the offspring. It can be shown if the trait is recessive or dominant from the parents’ gene. <span>Chromosomes are inherited from the parents. One chromosome from each of 23 pairs came from each of the parents. The two chromosomes of a pair (except for the sex chromosomes) contain the same genes, but the genes have small differences. The X and Y Chromosomes determine the organism’s sex. One chromosome pair - the sex chromosomes - is unique. Typically females have two X chromosomes and males have an X and a Y. Mothers always pass an X chromosome on to their children. Whether the father passes on his X chromosome (leading to a pair of X chromosomes) or his Y chromosome (making a mixed set) determines your sex. </span>

According to the Hardy-Weinberg formula, the frequencies of alleles in a population will remain constant if _____ is the only pr
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: Sexual reproduction

Explanation:

First, you should understand that mutation (an change in the base-pair sequence of the genetic material, DNA) is the original source of all genetic variation; as such whatsoever will alter the frequency of alleles, even if it is evolution, it relies on mutation.

In contrast, sexual reproduction does not change the frequency of alleles in the gene pool, rather it ensures constancy through the meiotic cell division process

2. What is formed when elements of matter are chemically combined?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Option B. compounds

Explanation:

Compound is a type pure substance which is formed when two or more than two elements combine together chemically in a fixed ratio. It is represented by a chemical formula. Chemically combine means the elements present in the compound make bonds in order to hold each other. So they are not separated by physical methods. It is separated from one another by chemical methods.
