Hey there,
Q1 & Q2) 
1) Heredity- Genes carry genetic information for cholesterol. So, it can be passed down from your parents.
2) Diet- Cholesterol depends on the food you eat. If you eat food with too much saturated fat, you get a high level of cholesterol. 
3) Weight- If you are obese, you are more prone to get cholesterol. Thus, you need to lose weight
4) Exercise- Exercise regularly to maintain a perfect cholesterol level
5) Stress- If you are a student, take breaks in between study timings to keep you less stress or if you are an adult, go for walks and do something that you like the most to calm your brain down.

Q3) Cholesterol causes plague to grow in your hearts. This thick, hard plague will block the arteries and will cause heart attacks and strokes. 

Q4) Pros- <span>Helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels, lowers risks of heart attacks and strokes
       Cons- C</span><span>ould create too many HDL leaving not enough cholesterol for the body to be healthy.

Hope this helps :))

Cells a and b are the same size and shape, but cell a is metabolically quiet and cell b is actively consuming oxygen. Oxygen wil
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The two cells of the similar shape, and size have different levels of the ongoing metabolic activity. On one hand, the cell a is metabolically quiet, which means that no energy consuming chemical reactions are taking place in this cell. On the other hand, the cell b is actively consuming the surrounding oxygen. In this scenario, the oxygen will more quickly diffuse into the cell b because the diffusion gradient for oxygen in this cell is steeper than in the cell a.

Hence, the blanks can be filled with 'b and the diffusion gradient is steeper' respectively.

A woman, S.R., had a maternal grandfather with hemophilia A (OMIM 306700), an X-linked recessive condition that reduces blood cl
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Hemophilia is a x-linked recessive inherited bleeding  disorder. in this disease blood does not clot properly due to the decreased level of blood clotting factor VIII (8) or factor IX (9).

In x-linked recessive condition, the disease is transmitted from father (affected male) to his daughter and mother (affected female) to her son and skip of generation getting affected is also occurs.

  • there will be 50% chance of her (S.R.) each son to be affected with hemophilia.

Explanation:

Hemophilia is caused due to mutation of one gene which is responsible for the making of proteins of  blood coagulation factor viii or ix. the affected person bleeds continuously from any injury and that can cause serious issues.

here,

grandfather of s.r is affected (xₐy) and grandmother is normal (xx) will produce

                                                   ↓

 s.r's mother who is a carrier (xₐx) [as xₐy and xx will produce 100% carrier xₐx daughter]

                                                    ↓

s.r's mother is a carrier (xₐx) but her father is normal (xy) will produce,

                                                   ↓

s.r who has 50% chance of being carrier (xₐx) and 50% chance of being normal (xx) [as she is the only child] and she has a normal (xy) partner, they will give,

                                                     ↓

  1. if s.r is a carrier (xₐx) then one of her son will be affected (xₐy)   [as xₐx and xy =xₐy]
  2. if s.r is normal (xx) then her son will be normal (xy) [as xx and xy will give xy]

here,<u> 50% chance of her son to be affected with hemophilia</u> [as S.R of being affected is more considerable].
