Human genetics is the study of inheritance as it occurs in human beings. Human genetics encompasses a variety of overlapping fields including: classical genetics, cytogenetics, molecular genetics, biochemical genetics, genomics, population genetics, developmental genetics, clinical genetics, and genetic counseling.
Genes can be the common factor of the qualities of most human-inherited traits. Study of human genetics can be useful as it can answer questions about human nature, understand the diseases and development of effective disease treatment, and understand genetics of human life. This article describes only basic features of human genetics; for the genetics of disorders please see: medical genetics.
Galactosemia is an autosomal recessive hereditary disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme galactose-1- phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) that is needed for the breakdown of the milk sugar, galactose.

Answer:
Sponges are the members of the phylum Porifera. They have cellular level of body organization and they are sedentary. The space, food and other resources are limited. This leads to lot of competition for space among the sponges. Some of the sponges produce toxins to stop other sponges from settling down nearby or very close to another one. Toxins secreted by sponges provide a competitive advantage.
Attached is the image of the concerned ECG reading.
In reading the ECG, first you read the heart rate. To read the heart rate, you must count for the number of small boxes in between QRS complexes, specifically R-R intervals. These number of small boxes will then be used to divide 1500. In this example, there are 20 small boxes between R-R intervals. 1500 divided by 20 is 75, so the heart rate of this ECG reading is 75 beats per minute.
<em>Another way, albeit less accurate, is to count the big squares between R-R intervals and instead of dividing it by 1500, you divide it by 300.</em>
Answer: Gametophytes
The female gametophyte is also commonly called the embryo sac or megagametophyte. The male gametophyte, also called the pollen grain or microgametophyte, develops within the anther and consists of two sperm cells encased within a vegetative cell
