Answer:
C
Explanation:
The definition of biotic potential is the maximum reproductive capacity of an organism under optimum environmental conditions.
BLINK protein speeds up stomatal movements in response to light fluctuations resulting in improved plant growth and water use.
Plants can't move, so their “blinking” helps protect them from burning or bleaching when they are in bright sun.
I'm not sure if the first part is right, but I do know the second part is.
Answer:
(a) 1/2; (b) no
Explanation:
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is an X-linked recessive disorder and the woman's father was diseased so it means that woman is a carrier of the allele but has normal phenotype. It means that she will have XXᵇ genotype.
In contrast to this, her husband is diseased so his genotype will be XᵇY.
The Punnett square diagram related to the cross is attached.
(a) Proportion of their sons expected to be G6PD is 1/2:
They both may give birth to 4 progeny with genotypes XXᵇ, XᵇXᵇ, XY and XᵇY. It means they both may have 2 sons out of which one with genotype XᵇY will be diseased while the one with genotype XY will be healthy. So the proportion of their sons having G6PD is 1/2 or 50%.
(b) If the husband were G6PD deficient, the answer will not change.
The reason behind this is that this disease is caused by an allele located in X chromosome. But father contributes only Y chromosome to his son not X chromosome. The X chromosome will affect the genotype of his daughter not son that is why answer will not change. It means they will still have 1/2 of their sons diseased.
It could damage vessels and other parts of the body.
Answer: B. Tendon
Explanation:
A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches muscle to bone. A tendon serves to move the bone or structure. Tendons may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. While a ligament is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.
A bursa is a tiny fluid-filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. The plural of bursa is bursae. There are 160 bursae in the body. The major bursae are located adjacent to the tendons near the large joints, such as the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees.
A fascia is a band or sheet of connective tissue, primarily collagen, beneath the skin that attaches, stabilizes, encloses, and separates muscles and other internal organs. From the various definitions given above shows that the tendon is the correct answer to the question asked.
