Bones: they lose calcium, becoming crispy
Muscle: they lose mass 
Cartilage: becomes stiffer, but it does not make airway more rigid
D) connective tissue: It includes bone, blood, and lymph tissue, giving support to the skin and internal organs, becoming increasingly stiff when aging.
It should be connective tissue.

The right option is; D) connective tissue

Aging affects all of the body's cells; and therefore, the basic building blocks of tissues. All cells in the body experience changes with aging. As your body ages, connective tissue changes, becoming stiff making the organs, blood vessels, and airways more rigid.

Connective tissue are important group of tissues that support, and connects other tissues in the body. Connective tissue maintains the body structure and its organ, and also transports substances in the body. Connective tissue is mainly made up of two elements which are; cells and a matrix. The connective tissues include various types of fibrous tissue that differ in cells, density, and functions. They include; tendons, bone, cartilage, ligaments, and adipose (fat) tissue.

The fatal human illness called Huntington disease is caused by a dominant mutant allele. Calculate the probability that a couple
BaLLatris [955]

Answer: There is a 50% chance that the offspring will inherit Huntington's disease

Explanation:

Huntington's disease is expressed by a dominant allele.

Since the father is heterozygous for Huntington's disease, his genotype would be as follows:Hh

Even though he carries a normal allele, the dominant allele is disease causing and thus masks the effects of the normal allele, therefore he expresses the disease.

The mother does not have Huntington's because she is homozygous recessive, in other words, she carries 2 copies of the normal alleles.with the genotype hh.

If you do a punnet square, and you cross the mother and father, the following genotypes can be produced:

Hh, Hh, hh, hh

Therefore, there's a 50% chance that the offspring will inherit the disease causing allele and 50% chance that the offspring will not inherit it.

Tell two things that happen to put H+ ions in the thylakoid space during the light dependent reactions
podryga [215]

Answer:

Electron transfer and presence of thylakoid membrane proteins

Explanation:

The high energy electrons from chlorophyll pass through a chain of proteins called electron transport chain in the thylakoid membrane. These high energy electrons helps H+ ions to come from outside to inside membrane of thylakoid against the concentration gradient which is also contributing factor to build the concentration of H+ inside thylakoid membrane which is used to transfer phosphate to ADP during light depend reactions.
