Nyctalopia
Nyctalopia is the condition of night blindness characterized
by inability to see clearly at night or in dim light and the ability to see
clearly in the day. Deficiency of vitamin A leads to nyctalopia. Other possible
causes of Nyctalopia include myopia, cataract, retinitis pigmentosa and some glaucoma
medications.
Answer:
In mendelian inheritance, the alleles for a gene show normal dominant-recessive relationship. Chromosomes also show crossover due to which new random combination of traits is possible in the offspring. This crossover takes place between homologous chromosomes during meiosis I.
Organellar DNA like the ones present in mitochondria and chloroplast do not follow mendelian inheritance because unlike nuclear chromosomes they do not have cross over events. There is no orderly segregation of alleles during meiosis. Traits controlled by them are usually inherited as it is and usually it is from the maternal parent because paternal gamete like sperm does not contain mitochondria.
In a study of the raw materials used for photosynthesis, the two molecules that would be studied are carbon dioxide and water. This is because they are the reactants of the process. Without these molecules the process of photosynthesis cannot happen.
Dehydration is the loss of too much water in our body It can be categorized into three types: isotonic, hypotonic and hypertonic. Isotonic dehydration is the most common, which pertains to equal concentrations of the extracellular and intracellular fluids. In this type of dehydration, about same amount of electrolytes and water are ;pst from the body. Hypertonic dehydration is more serious and a very risky IV fluid to administer. This type of dehydration occurs when more electrolytes are lost than water from the body. So, there must be an intake of a fluid more concentrated in electrolytes so that it will cause the water from inside the cells to be attracted to the extracellular fluid. The last type of dehydration, hypotonic dehydration, is the opposite of hypertonic. This is when more of water is lost than electrolytes. So, the fluid to be administered is less concentrated relative to the fluid inside the cells.
<span>Choice (B) is the only incorrect statement about Type 1 diabetes. Insulin is not produced in the pancreas by a person with this disease, because the cells that do this type of work have been attacked and destroyed by one's own system. This requires daily insulin injections and constant maintenance, beginning in childhood.</span>
