Without sufficient or lack of fiber, the colon get too little exercise and will become weak. Fiber or dietary fiber (roughage) id defined as the indigestible food or portion of food derived from plants. Fiber has ttwo main components called as Soluble and Insoluble, Soluble fiber means the one an dissloves in water while insoluble is the one didn't dissolve by water.

Answer:

Fiber.

Explanation:

Fiber is also known as roughage, a type of carbohydrate that cannot be broken down into simple sugars. Fiber helps in digestion, cholesterol maintenance and blood sugar regulation.

Fibers can pass through the intestine relatively intact. Dietary fibers increase stool bulk and aids in digestion process. Fiber deficient diet or very less fiber can cause little exercise of colon and becomes weak.

Thus, the answer is fiber.

“PKU” is an inherited disease caused by a recessive allele. If a woman and a man are both carriers, where P is the normal allele

user100 [1]

Answer:

Option A, 1/64

Explanation:

The genotype of a carrier female would be Pp

The genotype of a carrier male would be Pp

When these two adults are crossed , the following offspring are produced

Pp x Pp

PP, Pp, Pp, pp

Thus out of four children 3 children have normal phenotype but two are carrier.

So probability of having one normal child (with genotype PP) is $\frac{1}{4}$

So the probability of three normal children is

$\frac{1}{4} *\frac{1}{4} *\frac{1}{4} \\= \frac{1}{64}$

Hence, option A is correct

levacccp [35]

Ans: Option (B) Mitosis

DNA replication occurs just before the process of cell division, which is also called mitosis.

Mitosis is when the cell is being divided into two, and this is when DNA starts to replicate and it produces more and more cells and the process continues. In other words, mitosis<span> is a part of the cell cycle when replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei. Before that process(mitosis), DNA replication occurs. Hence the correct option is (B) Mitosis.</span>

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: The program completed in a quarter of the time with four computers versus one computer

Explanation:

Distributed computing simply means using distributed systems in solving computational problems and this is done as the problem is divided into many tasks, whereby the tasks are accomplished by one or more computers.

Following the information given in the question, a speedup of 4 indicate that the program completed in a quarter of the time with four computers versus one computer.
