With the salient features of this patient comprising of heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and globus sensation (feeling of lump in throat); everything points out to the impression of gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD. GERD is the backflow of highly acidic stomach acid to the esophagus. The epithelium of the esophagus is not adapted to these highly acidic environments therefore causing damage to the epithelium which is responsible for the symptoms.
Chronic GERD is a risk factor for columnar metaplasia of the esophageal epithelium or Barrett's esophagus; and developing Barrett's esophagus is a risk factor for developing esophageal adenocarcinoma.
Yes it can but there are some issues to using a light microscope such as they are transparent so it’s best to use a prepared slide which has been stained.
It depends whether we are talking of animals or humans re community stability and diversity. Since we are speaking of community most likely it is to do with humans. Humans maintain community stability by sharing their knowledge and experience and volunteering to develop community programs like gardens in a neighborhood and develop diversity by including people of all backgrounds and races and encouraging their participation.
Answer:
Mainly, the number of genes that control traits.
Explanation:
Polygenic inheritance does not follow Mendel's law of dominance. According to Mendel the dominant trait will mask the recessive trait however, this is not always the case. Polygenic inheritance states that traits are controlled by two or more genes and is also dependent on the environment.
Let's take skin color for example. A fair-skinned person will have a child with a dark-skinned person.
Mendelian inheritance would assume that the offspring would either be fair or dark only.
Polygenic inheritance would assume that the offspring would be either fair, dark, or a tone in between, depending on the environment they are in as well.
Hope you understood it.
Answer: 1) jet streams are like rivers of wind high above in the atmosphere. these slim strips of strong winds have a huge influence on climate as they can push air masses around and affect weather patterns-- they form a bond between hot and cold air
2) lifting along fronts: when air masses interact. lifting also occurs along frontal boundaries as air masses of different temperature and moisture content interact with each other. the lifted air cools and the water vapor condences to form clouds in advance of the surface warm front
3) when the temperature difference between the cold and warm is large, thunderstorms and even tornadoes may form. thunderstorms can form at a cold front or within air masses. at a cold front, air can be forced upard quckly. within an air mass, uneven heating can produce convection and thunderstorms
