Answer:

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are commonly prescribed to treat high blood pressure, heart problems and other conditions. Find out how they work and their possible side effects.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors help relax veins and arteries to reduce blood pressure. ACE inhibitors prevent an enzyme in your body from producing angiotensin II, a substance that narrows your blood vessels. This narrowing can cause high blood pressure and force the heart to work harder. Angiotensin II also releases hormones that raise blood pressure.

In addition to high blood pressure, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors prevent, treat or improve symptoms in conditions such as the following:

Coronary artery disease

Heart failure

Diabetes

Certain chronic kidney diseases

Heart attacks

Scleroderma: a disease that involves hardening of the skin and connective tissues

Migraines

The doctor may prescribe other medications in addition to an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, such as a diuretic or a calcium antagonist. Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors should not be taken together with angiotensin receptor blockers or with direct renin inhibitors.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors work better for younger people than for older people. They also work better for white people than for black people. The doctor may recommend a different medication.

what's the difference between these- single or multiple genes, and dominant, recessive or sex-linked genes

Veseljchak [2.6K]

A single gene disorder is one that's known to be caused by a single gene. Multiple gene disorders, however, can be caused by multiple gene combinations and other factors. Dominant genes are always expressed in the offspring, while recessive genes are only expressed if the offspring recieves the recessive gene from both parents. Sex-linked genetic disorders occur most often in men, and are caused by a single-gene disorder gene being on the X chromosome but not the Y, so that the offspring needs only one recessive gene to have the trait/disorder.

Meiosis Foldable Activity 515.2

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Explanation:

During the process of prophase I, the nuclear envelope containing chromosomes has only partly broken down homologous chromosomes are joined together by proteins and a complex or pairing call synapsis- corresponding genes on sister chromatids are aligned precisely.

The syanapsis allows for crossing over which is the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined.

Further Explanation:

All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. In meiosis, the number of chromosomes (2n) is halved to 23 chromosomes (haploid number)through meiotic divisions, producing 4 haploid (n) germ cells or gametes (sperm or eggs), each containing half the number of chromosomes as its parent cell.

In Meiosis I

homologs pair off into bivalents
At crossing over: the exchange of segments of chromosome, between non-sister homologous or similar chromatids crossing over happens at chiasmata, the point where non-sister chromosomes are joined in prophase I forming bivalents; tetrads are formed.
Spindle fibers from centrioles join sister chromatids together at their centromeres in metaphase I, pulling them to the equator of the cell;
then, in anaphase I, while joined, they are pulled to opposite sides of the cell; the cell body splits and the nuclear envelope reforms in telophase I

In Meiosis II...

Later, in prophase II, the nuclear envelope disintegrates and mitotic spindle fibers are formed
independent assortment occurs. in metaphase II of meiosis: spindle fibers attach to centromeres, chromatids align independently at the equator. Genes segregate independently into new combinations as sister chromatids are pulled apart by their centromeres in anaphase II
in telophase II the cells' nuclei and membrane are then formed with each containing the haploid number (n)
Following the formation of gametes in the last stage, randomized fertilization occurs in sexual reproduction sperm cells fertilize an ovum to form a zygote. This occurs randomly by chance, to result in a complete set of chromosomes 2n, that is a novel combination of half each parent's number of chromosomes
