Answer:
The colon.
Explanation:
The colon, also known as the large intestine is one of the major organs of the digestive system and plays a vital role in the processing of food and excretion of waste. It is divided into the ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon and sigmoid colon.
The colon has a large surface area and plays a major role in the reabsorption of fluids and the processing and formation of waste which it pushes towards the rectum to be expelled.
Diarrhea is a condition which is characterized by frequency of bowel movements and passage of loose and watery stools. It has various causes most of which affects the normal functionality of the colon thereby limiting it's ability to reabsorb water and fluids. Such causes which affect the colon include; Bacterial infections, laxative abuse, diseases of the colon such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease etc.
The rocky upper layer of the solid earth is called the "lithosphere". This rocky part includes the brittle upper portion of the mantle and also of the crust. It is bounded by the atmosphere above and of the asthenosphere which is another part of the upper portion of the mantle.
Answer:
The tall parent was heterozygous
Explanation:
If tall height is dominant to short height the only genotype possible for short height is hh, while there are two possible genotypes for tall height, Hh and HH. When HH is crossed with hh all the offspring are Hh, but if Hh is crossed with hh, a quarter of the offspring is HH, a quarter is hh and half is Hh. If the tall pea plants were HH there would only be tall offspring, but because there are some short offspring we know that the tall pea plants must have a genotype of Hh.
"Identical twins are more similar on the trait than fraternal twins" would lead to the conclusion that genetic factors are important in the development of this trait.
<u>Option: C</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Research performed on identical or fraternal twins are twin investigations. We seek to expose the significance for characteristics, phenotypes and diseases of environmental and genetic factors. Twin work is considered a key instrument in the domains of behavioral genetics and material, from biology to psychology.
Fraternal or dizygous twins each share around 50 % of their DNA, just like any other parent. Since the twins are born into the same family they share other factors of their surroundings. The existence of a given genetic or phenotypic trait in just one component of a pair of twins called discordance offers a valuable insight into influence on such a trait on climate.
