Why human with heterozygous genotype will have the dominant phenotype?

1 answer:

5 0

A human with heterozygous genotype can have a dominant phenotype if one of the alleles complete mask the effects of the other.

Heterozygous genotype involves two different alleles, unlike homzygous genotypes in which the alleles are the same.
When the two alleles of an heterozygous genotype exert equal effects on one another, they are said to be codominant.
When one of the alleles of an heterozygous genotype incompletely exert its effects on the other allele, it is said to be incomplete dominance.
When one of the alleles complete dominates and masks the effects of the other allele, it is said to be dominant.

Hence, a dominant allele will always produce a dominant phenotype even if the genotype of the organism is heterozygous.

How do plants get the nitrogen they need?

ololo11 [35]

Correct answer: D) From bacteria living in their roots

Nitrogen is an essential plant nutrients, but it is metabolically unavailable to higher plants and animals. It is available to some species of microorganism by biological nitrogen fixation in which nitrogen is converted to ammonia with the help of enzyme dinitrogenase.

The process of breaking apart the two atoms in a nitrogen molecule is called nitrogen fixation. Plant obtain the nitrogen they need from the soil which is already fixed by the bacteria and archae.

Example: Azobacter, Nostac

Calculate the cardiac output if heart rate (HR) is 90 beats per minute, stroke volume (SV) is 110 ml/beat, end diastolic volume

Yakvenalex [24]

ANSWER: None of the above options are correct.

Cardiac Output(CO) = Stroke Volume(SV) × Heart Rate(HR)

Therefore where HR= 90bpm and SV= 110ml/min,

CO = 90 × 110 = 9900ml/min or 9.9L/min.

EXPLANATION:

CARDIAC OUTPUT is the volume of blood being pumped by the heart into the systemic circulation per minute.

Cardiac output is the product of two variables, stroke volume and heart rate.

STROKE VOLUME is the amount of blood pumped out by the left ventricle in each contraction.

HEART RATE is the count of the number of times the heart beats per minute.
