A polygenic trait is one whose phenotype is influenced by more than one gene. Traits that display a continuous distribution, such as height or skin color, are polygenic.

Non-Mendelian inheritance patterns can be sorted into three categories: incomplete dominance, codominance, and sex-linked traits
mart [117]

Answer: B (Color blindness)

Explanation:

Typical red-green color blindness in human patients is caused by mutations on genes located in the X chromosome. These mutations act in a recessive manner. Since females have two X chromosomes, the presence of a mutation in a single one of them does not normally result in color blindness. Males, in contrast, have a single X chromosome and therefore the presence of a mutation is likely to cause the disease.

About the other options: Down‘s syndrome is a numerical chromosomal anomaly, not related to sex. Human blood type is a codominant trait. Finally, tail length in dogs is a polygenic trait not amenable to classic Mendelian analysis.

Opening K or Cl- channels in a postsynaptic membrane would produce an inhibitory postsynaptic potential (IPSP). Opening K or Cl-
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In inhibitory postsynaptic potentials, the opening of chlorine and potassium channels generally occurs so that chlorine enters, with a negative charge, and potassium leaves, with a positive charge. The synergistic effect of this ionic flow is the hyperpolarization of the cell, making it difficult for an action potential to occur.

A client whose parkinson's disease is being treated with tolcapone should concurrently take what drug?
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The correct answer would be levodopa/carbidopa.

Tolcapone is a drug used as an adjunct to levodopa/carbidopa combination medication.

These drugs are used to treat the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.

Tolcapone is used to inhibit enzyme COMT (catechol-O-methyl transferase).

In the brain, levodopa is converted into dopamine which helps in controlling the movement.

Carbidopa helps in preventing the breakdown of levodopa in the blood which allows more levodopa to enter the brain. In addition, it helps in reducing the side-effects associated with levodopa such as vomiting, nausea et cetera.

Following the rules of complementary base pairing, which of these DNA bases could successfully bond with adenine?
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Thymine

Explanation:

Adenine is a Purines together with Guanine .

Purines always pair with Pyrimidines ; which are cyosine and Thymine.

This is a complementary base pairing that hold the two strands of DNA bases together by weak hydrogen bonds for flexibility and easily unwind during replication

Purines are larger in size beaxuae they have 2 ring structures while Pyrimidines aee smaller because of one ring structure.

Therefore two purines (Adenine and Guanine can not pair together;

It must be a Purines -Pyrimidines pairs.

Therefore Adenine must pair with Thymine and cyosine with Guanine

In RNA, Thymine are replaced with URACIL as Pyrimidines.
