A general lack of nutrition and wasting occurring in the course of a chronic disease is known as CACHEXIA.
Patients suffering from chronic diseases often have low appetite which may it difficult for them to eat the quantity of food that their body systems need, the body has to make up for this lack by using the storage of fat they already have in their bodies. This leads to emaciated look and greatly reduced body weight.

Explain in your own words why a dominant trait is not always a common trait.
taurus [48]

Answer:

Describing a trait as dominant does not mean it is the most common; it means that it is expressed over the recessive trait. For example, tongue rolling is a dominant trait, controlled by the dominant version of a particular gene (R). Individuals with one or two copies of R will exhibit tongue rolling.

Corn develops from a seedling with a single cotyledon, displays parallel veins on its leaves, and produces monosulcate pollen. I
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

a monocot

Explanation:

Monocotiledoneas are plants that develop from a seedling with a single cotyledon. That is why we can say that maize is a monocotyledon.

Monocotyledons and dicotyledons are two classes of vegetables that belong to the angiosperm plants (plants with seeds contained within the fruits) and also phanerogams (flowering plants), currently classified as magnoliophytes, gathering approximately 230 thousand species. Monocotyledons are plants that have only one cotyledon in the seed. Cotyledons are the initial leaves of plant embryos.

A rooster with gray feathers is mated with a hen of the same phenotype. Among their offspring, 15 chicks are gray, 6 are black,
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Alleles for feather colour exhibit incomplete dominance or co-dominance.

50% gray offspring + 50% black offspring

Explanation:

<em>It means that the alleles for feather colour in the hen exhibit incomplete dominance or co-dominance over one another.</em>

Assuming the allele for white colour is B, white colour will be b while the heterozygote Bb gives the gray phenotype.

Gray rooster + gray hen = 15 gray chicks, 6 black chicks and 8 white chicks.

15:6:8 is roughly 2:1:1 which is phenotypic ratio obtainable from crossing two heterozygous individuals as pointed out by Mendel.

Bb   x   Bb = 1BB, 2Bb, and 1bb

Crossing the gray rooster (Bb) with a black hen (bb):

Bb   x   bb = Bb, Bb, bb, and bb

          = 2Bb (gray):2bb (black)

50% of the offspring will be gray while the remaining 50% will be black.
