Beta-blockers decrease heart rate and blood pressure. Answer:D
It is a drug that might be used specifically to reduce heart rate in cardiac patients. The drug is also referred to as beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents and are prescription-only medicines (POMS).
Turner syndrome occurs among the females only because it has to do with the missing X chromosome. The effects of this syndrome is having a short height, ovary failure and heart defects. The female sex hormones, such as the estrogen and progesterone, are elevated.
People who are lactose intolerant are unable to digest lactose, the sugar commonly found in dairy, because their bodies don't make the enzyme lactase.
Lactase works by breaking down lactose into a simpler sugar that can be used by the body. Without it, lactose is not absorbed by the body & remains in the waste where gut bacteria metabolize it & cause the bloating, gas & other similar discomforts experienced by the lactose intolerant.
Hope that helps!
In truth, though, it is the non-lactose intolerant people that are the mutants. Not the other way around. Most wild animals don't consume milk after they have been weaned & it's just something humans developed to accommodate their diet.
Answer:
1. Mutation
2. Epigenetics
Explanation:
1. Mutation occurs when there is a change in an organism's DNA sequence as a result of mistakes in DNA replication or as a result of environmental factors like smoking. The mutation in a single organism can be passed on to other generations hence causing a genetic variation in the population, this obeys the Darwin's law that inherited traits (genetic) are passed on to other generations
2. Epigenetics are changes in gene expression that doesn't involve changes in the DNA sequences unlike mutation. This changes can be passed on to other generations and hence cause a variation in the population. This obeys the Lamarckian evolution that acquired traits are passed on to other generations.
A mutation is a change that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke.
