Answer:

    Human eyes offer an extensive and beautiful color palette. However, it is well known that eye color is mainly determined for genetic reasons.

   From the color of the parents' eyes to that of the great-grandparents, one can predict what color the eyes of their descendants will be. Nevertheless, you should never forget that there can always be some surprise.

   Certainly, you should know that every human being has two types of genes: dominant and recessive. Both influence the color of the eyes and hair of the individual.

   Dominant genes are the strongest, as they exert the most influence on determining the color of the baby's eyes. On the other hand, recessive genes are weaker but do not cancel each other out. This means that when chromosomes come together after fertilization, one allele will prevail over the other.

    Let's look at the case where the father has blue eyes and the mother brown eyes. In this circumstance, there would be little chance of the child having blue eyes, as the brown phenotype is dominant over blue.

In this case, both parents must have blonde hair & brown eyes & they both carry the recessive gene for blue eyes.

Father:

B b - offers dominant and recessive gene

Mother:

B b - offers dominant and recessive gene

————————

Brown-eyed children

Bb or BB

Which of the following is TRUE about this reaction?
hoa [83]

The right answer is C

This process is called anaerobic respiration. It doesn't need dioxygen to occur (it can happen with or without O2).

Anaerobic respiration is a mechanism in which electrons pass through a chain of transporters whose final acceptor is a mineral substance other than oxygen, unlike aerobic respiration where the final acceptor is dioxygen. The final acceptor may be the nitrate ion (as in the case of Pseudomonas), carbon dioxyde or the sulfate ion.

Some bacteria (Pseudomonas) are able, anaerobically, to reduce nitrates to nitrites and then, depending on the case, to dinitrogen (with the enzyme Nitrate reductase A).

NO3- ==> NO2- ==> N2.

In a step by step format, write about the process of the blood flow as it enters the heart until it leaves the heart. It should
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Blood enter the right atrium of the heart via the vena cava (superior and inferior)

The right atrium contracts to push the blood into the right ventricle through the triscupid valve

The contraction of the right ventricle pushes the blood through the pulmonary valve to the pulmonary artery which carries it to the lungs to be oxygenated

After oxygenation, the pulmonary vein brings blood to the left atrium

Contraction of the left atrium pushes the blood through the mitral valve into the left ventricle

The left ventricle contracts to push the blood through the aortic valve, into the aorta, which carries the blood through the body.
