Arada [10]3 years ago

Answer:

Adverse heart conditions do not occur in isolation. It is usually accompanied by other risk factors, like coronary artery dysfunction, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.    

In addition to the above, the following factors are indicative of left-sided heart failure:

  • Shortness of breath caused by the collection of fluid in the lungs. Shortness of breath usually becomes pronounced upon physical exertion
  • An increase in the girth of the torso (mainly the abdomen) due to ascites which is the buildup of fluid in the abdomen.
  • engorged scrotum (in males of course)

Explanation:

Left-Sided Heart Failure is simply the inability of the heart to pump oxygen-rich blood into the body.

Blood filled with oxygen is moved from the lungs to the atrium on the left and then to the left ventricle. The blood is then pumped from the ventricle on the left to other parts of the body by a contracting and relaxing action. Left-sided heart failure can be classified into two:

  1. Systolic Failure and
  2. Diastolic Failure

1. Systolic Dysfunction: When the left ventricle can no longer shrink properly, the pressure with which the heart can pump enough blood into circulation is reduced.

2. Diastolic Dysfunction: This occurs when the left ventricle can no longer relax as it ought to due to the hardening of the muscle.

Two different groups of scientists studying a rare trait in ground squirrels report very different heritabilities. What factors
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

It is a trait highly influenced by environmental factors (i.e., it has low heritability)

Explanation:

In population genetics, heritability is a statistical measure to estimate the proportion of the phenotype variation of a given trait which can be explained by hereditable genetic factors. The heritability of a trait is influenced by environmental factors, genetic factors (e.g., allele frequencies, number of genes involved in trait variation, recombination rate, etc), and the interaction between genetic and environmental factors. A low heritability value suggests that most of the variation is not genetic (i.e., due to environmental factors), while a high heritability value suggests that almost all of the variability in a trait is due to genetic factors.
