Answer:

Roughages increase fecal volume and promote peristalsis

Explanation:

Constipation refers to the condition in which bowel evacuations occur infrequently, leading to health problems. Some of the most common causes of constipation include 1-insufficient intake of dietary fibers or roughages, 2-poor hydration, 3-lack of physical exercise, 4-abuse of laxatives, etc. Dietary fibers are divided into two classes based on their water solubility: soluble and insoluble. These fibers represent the part of plant foods that the body can't digest, which absorbs and retains water (soluble fibers) as foods pass through the bowel and create bulk (insoluble fibers), thereby leading to regular bowel habits.

which autonomic system conserves energy by returning the body to a normal activity level through a lowered heart rate and blood

SVEN [57.7K]

The parasympathetic nervous system conserves energy as it slows down heart rate, increases intestinal and glandular activity, and relaxes the sphincter muscles of the gastrointestinal tract. It gets the nickname "rest and digest" for doing exactly so. Typically most active when sleeping, however is also the explanation for post-prandial fatigue, or being tired after eating (especially a large meal).

Gregor Mendel observed that two plants with purple flowers could produce some offspring with white flowers and some offspring wi

podryga [215]

Answer:

Heterozygosity

Explanation:

The correct term that could explain the phenomenon is heterozygosity.

In heterozygous condition, a gene is made up of two different alleles in which one would be dominant and the other would be recessive.

In heterozygous purple plants in which the alternate color is white, the white color is not expressed because its allele is in a recessive state. If two heterozygous plants are mated, the recessive allele in each plant would combine into some of the offspring, resulting in the production of white color progeny in addition to the dominant purple color progeny.

Let us assume that the purple color allele is P and the white color is p.

Pp x Pp

PP Pp Pp pp

PP and Pp - purple color

pp - white color.
