Answer:
28 units
Explanation:
This disorder follows quantitative inheritance. It is controlled by three genes which do not show the usual dominant-recessive relationship . The six alleles individually contribute to the effect which add up to produce the cumulative phenotype. Dominant allele contributes 6 units of risk whereas recessive allele contributes 2 units of risk.
Individual with genotype AABbCc has four dominant alleles (AABC) and two recessive alleles (bc). So their total risk units =
(6*4) + (2*2) = 24 + 4
= 28 units
Answer:
Natural selection leads to evolution due to the way reproduction works. In the example of European moths during the industrial revolution, we can see this clearly. When the industrial revolution was going, there was more pollution, hence darkening the skies and leaving ash. Moths, which before were white with occasional black spots dominated the area until pollution effected their environment. Whiter moths were eaten by bird who could easily see them against the black trees and skies. These moths could no longer reproduce, they were dead. Moths with more black could survive longer to reproduce because they were harder to see. As time went along, the moths turned mostly black, showing an example of evolution.

Answer:
True.
Explanation:
Enkephalins and endorphins are endogenous peptides while morphine is an exogenous peptide.
Enkephalins and endorphins are powerful analgesics 18 to 500 times more than morphine. Hence, morphine is less analgesic than enkephalins and endorphins.
Enkephalins and endorphins act on the mu, kappa , delta receptors and morphine also acts on the same receptors. All of them has same effects on the body.
Hence, Enkephalins and endorphins are peptides that act like morphine.
Bacteria perform important functions in the soil, decomposing organic residues from enzymes released into the soil. Each functional bacteria group plays a role in recycling soil nutrients.
