Answer:

Option C, Lungs

Explanation:

When silica dust is inhaled it causes silicosis which in severe cases is disabling. When Silica enters the lungs , scar tissues are formed which lead to difficulty in taking oxygen. This problem usually arises when crystalline silica is inhaled continuously for a period of 15 to 20 years. Its symptoms are not visible and thus can only be determined through chest X-Ray. However, after prolonged exposure lung dysfunctions causes breathing problem, fatigue, chest pain or  respiratory failure

Hence, option C is correct

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Endometrosis could negatively affect the probability of gestating an embryo if they are growing inward. The affection of the fallopian tubes and the uterus could alter the implantation or even generate complications for the embryo during pregnancy.

In addition, endometriosis generates painful conditions in the abdominal area to the point that it is considered as menstrual cramps during menstruation, women who suffer from this disease suffer a lot during the menstrual cycle.

Regarding the reproductive system, those female reproductive systems that suffer from this disease are considered potentially malignant, since many malignant neoplasms are incited to appear in these foci of excessive proliferation of the endometrium.

Explanation:

Endometriosis can affect the walls of the fallopian tube and the uterus, since it occurs in the endometrium, that is why it bears that name.

The macroscopic appearance of this lesion at the histological level is a tumor nodule, since they are proliferative foci.

qaws [65]

Answer:

a. the environmental variance (VE) = 3.5 g ²

b. 17.5 g ² for population

c. the heritability of broad sense (H2) = 0.83

Explanation:

a.With the information we have we can infer that environmental factors influence A, which is considered isogenic, thus, the environmental variance (VE) = 3.5 g ²

b.When studying population B, comparing it without environmental changes with respect to population A, we found that its total variance (VT) = 21.0g ²

We generate the following formula with the data obtained previously to find the genetic variation

VT = VE + VG

then VG = VT-VE

replacing data:

VG = 21.0 - 3.5 = 17.5 g ² for population

c. Regarding the heritability of broad sense (H2) in population B, we can reach the result with the data previously obtained like this:

H2 = VG / VT = 17.5 / 21.0 = 0.83
