Answer:

<h2>40</h2>

Explanation:

Calculations:

Let q²= homozygous recessive

p²=  homozygous dominant  

2 pq heterozygous

q² for this population is 640/1000 = 0.64

q = √o.64 = 0.8

so, P= 1- q  

= 1- 0.8 = 0.2

The homozygous dominant frequency = p² = (0.2)(0.2) = 0.04

Therefore, you can expect 4% of 1000, or 40 individuals, to be homozygous dominant.

4.Suggest how triglycerides<br>are<br>transported in the blood.​
Mandarinka [93]
Triglycerides and cholesteryl esters are transported in the core of plasma lipoproteins. The intestine secretes dietary fat in chylomicrons, lipoproteins that transport triglyceride to tissues for storage. Dietary cholesterol is transported to the liver by chylomicron remnants which are formed from chylomicrons.

Paul had chicken pox when he was 5 years old. nicholas received the chicken pox vaccines. which type of immunity does each man h
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Paul has natural active immunity, while Nicholas has artificial active immunity.

Explanation:

Natural active immunity is an immunity that occurs when an individual is exposed to a disease causing organism, gets infected, and also become immune to the disease due to the primary immune response. From the question, Paul has natural active immunity because he had chicken pox before, and the virus that causes chicken pox has interacted with his immune response, hence, making him to develop natural immunity to the disease.

Artificial active immunity is an immunity that an individual acquires when small amount of immunity to a disease is deliberately exposed to his body. Artificial active immunity is usually produced in the form of vaccinations. From the question, Nicholas has artificial active immunity because chicken pox vaccines were intentionally introduced to his body.

Name 3 critical areas of the body that are accurately maintained by homeostasis.
tester [92]

Answer: Respiratory system, Excretory system, and Endocrine system.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the process through which several organ systems work to maintain a stable internal environment in the body. There are three organs of the body which ar eaccurately maintained by homeostasis:

Respiratory system: High carbon dioxide content in the blood triggers faster breathing. Most frequently, the lungs exhale, which quicker extracts carbon dioxide from the body.  

Endocrine system: High blood sugar content causes insulin release by an endocrine gland called pancreas. Insulin is a hormone which helps the cells absorb blood sugar.

Excretory system: A low blood level of water causes kidney accumulation of water. The kidneys contain more concentrated urine, so less water from the body is lost.  

Hence, three critical areas are respiratory system, excretory system, and endocrine system that are accurately maintained by homeostasis.
