The answer is a hair root.

Nuclear DNA is commonly extracted from the hair root. The hair root consists of keratinocytes. Keratinocytes are cells found in the epidermis. As all other cells, they contain DNA material. When keratynocites die, they get converted into keratoid material in the process of cornification. As a consequence, d<span>ead cells do not contain DNA material. Therefore, the hair root is the best source of nuclear DNA than shed or cut hair when working with hair sample.</span>

C. Endothelial contraction

Explanation:

The primary function of the vascular endothelium is to act as an effective barrier system and controls the diffusion of micro and macromolecules and keep the vascular compartments and interstitial spaces intact.

When this endothelial barrier system fails to function, exudation or leakage of fluid, solutes and proteins from the vasculature takes place leading to accumulation in the interstitial spaces.

Failure of endothelial vasculature like endothelial contraction occurs due to binding with mediators or specific receptors like histamine or leukotrienes or also due to any injury.

When there is an endothelial contraction, the intercellular gaps present in between postcapillary venules widen giving space for the fluid leaked from the vasculature to accumulate.

This exudation of fluids is a factor of an acute inflammatory process. In the above case, the high neutrophil count in the pleural fluid confirms a lung inflammatory process. The neutrophils act as the first line of defence against the inflammation.

A woman with normal vision has a son. The woman’s maternal grandfather is color-blind. What is the probability that the son is c
Reptile [31]

Answer:

= \frac{1}{4}

Explanation:

Given that the woman’s maternal grandfather is color-blind, then it is possible that the woman is a carrier of color-blind allele.

Then probability that the woman is a carrier of color-blind allele is = \frac{1}{2}  

So if a carrier woman cross with a normal man

Let say the gene of the carrier woman is: XX^c

and the normal man = XY

so if we have a cross between  XY and XX^c; we have:

                     X                     Y

X                   XX                 XY

X^c                 XX^c                 X^cY

we can see the offspring to be :

XX =normal unaffected female

XY = normal unaffected male

XX^c = carrier female for color-blind

X^cY = carrier male for color-bind

Then probability that of  inheriting defective allele = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}

Let's not forget that the probability that the woman is a carrier of color-blind allele is = \frac{1}{2}  

∴  the probability that the son is colorblind = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2}

= \frac{1}{4}
