night blindness-vitamin A deficiency

color blindness - trouble distinguishing colors

hyperopia-eyeball too short

myopia-eyeball too long

astigmatism-light refracted aspherically.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Night blindness is defined as the disease which involves the mal production of retinol in the rod cells of retina. This leads to the decreased sensitivity of eye to dim light.

Similarly, colour blindness is a genetic disease which is characterised by absence of a particular pigment in cone cells. This restricts the vision of a particular colour.

Hyperopia or hypermetropia is the shortening of eyeball which leads to the focusing of light rays behind the retina. So convex lenses are required to focus them on retina.

Myopia is the opposite of hypermetropia where the eyeball is elongated and the light rays doesn't reach the retina. So concave lens are required to focus the rays on retina.

Astigmatism is the case where the curvature of lens isn't correct, and the lens required for the correction is cylindrical lens

Many pathogenic bacteria species are becoming resistant to antibiotics. Explain how such adaptions can develop through the proce
AfilCa [17]
The genes to be resistant to an antibiotic already exist in the bacteria's genes.  Those whose phenotypes are resistant to the antibiotic will survive the antibiotic which kills the other non-antibiotic-resistant bacteria.  The surviving bacteria will then asexually reproduce, producing more antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Over 1,800 mutations have been described within the CFTR gene. These mutations can be readily detected using PCR and DNA sequenc
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C.

Explanation:

CFTR is a short form of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein which is caused by a recessive mutation in this protein. This mutation results in the accumulation of mucus in secretory organs.

As the disease is a recessive disease, for the mutant phenotype to expressed both copies of the allele required to be recessive.

The mother is negative for the CFTR. Hence, she will not transfer the mutant allele to her child So, the child would have a wild-type phenotype even if the father having two copies of recessive allele.

Thus, the correct answer is - option C.

How does the cell wall contributes towards maintaining homeostasis in the cell​
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The water wants to flow from the higher concentration, which is outside of the cell, to the lower concentration, which is inside of the cell. The cell membrane helps to regulate and slow down the flow of water into the cell. This is yet another way that the cell membrane helps maintain homeostasis.

I hope it helps ❤️
