Answer:
Abstract
Respiratory homeostasis is concerned with the regulation of a blood gas composition that is compatible with maintaining cellular homeostasis. Provided that the lung-capillary exchange barrier does not prevent the exchange of gases, then blood leaving the lung will have oxygen and carbon dioxide partial pressures that are similar to the average values found in the alveoli. Alveolar ventilation establishes these values. If blood gas composition, especially of carbon dioxide, moves outside the homeostatic range, the change is detected by chemoreceptors and respiratory responses are promoted which change alveolar ventilation, alter alveolar gas composition and so reverse the change. Ventilation therapies provide the means of artificially restoring alveolar gas composition. In general terms, they do this by raising the partial pressure of oxygen within the alveoli either by using oxygen-enriched gas mixtures, or by improving the ventilation of alveoli using positive pressure.
Explanation:
Insertion mutation takes the T out and replaces it with an A.
Answer:
B. 0.42
Explanation:
Since the two alleles are at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the sum of the frequency of two alleles will be one. If the frequency of a dominant allele is "p" and that of the recessive allele is "q", then p+q=1
According to the given information, the frequency of one allele in the population is= 0.7
This means that the frequency of the other allele would be= 1-0.7 = 0.3
Frequency of heterozygote in the population =2pq = 2 x 0.7 x 0.3 = 0.42
The question doesn't have choices. It would be better to have one.
