Although recent studies suggest that posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and pain may be related, the possible mediational role of depression in this relationship has not been examined. This study sought to examine this question in a sample of 130 male veterans seeking assessment or treatment for deployment-related PTSD. Results suggest that PTSD and pain are moderately related (r<span> = .29) but that this relationship is fully mediated by depression. Our findings have important clinical implications: Treatment of PTSD and pain in veteran populations should include careful assessment and regular monitoring of depression.</span>
Inheritance is randomly chosen from the current gene pool. It's randomly decided whether offspring will receive certain types of traits from a certain parent. There are also dominant traits and recessive traits. Dominant traits are traits that overshadow recessive traits.
In bryophytes, haploid reproductive cells are produced by the gametophyte. <span>Gamete-producing organs are found on gametophyte plant (the dominant form) and they are called gametangia. The haploid organ that produces male gametes is antheridia, and female producing organ is called archegonia (it produces ovum).</span>
