Answer:

A) The cornea is the transparent outer covering of the eye,The lens is a curved structure in the eye that that bends light and focuses it for the retina to help you see images clearly.The lens works together with the cornea to focus light correctly on the retina. When light hits the retina (a light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye), special cells called photoreceptors turn the light into electrical signals.

B)The iris is the part of the eye that makes up your eye color. A circular muscle with a hole in the middle.The iris controls the amount of light that enters the eye by opening and closing the pupil. The iris uses muscles to change the size of the pupil. These muscles can control the amount of light entering the eye by making the pupil larger or smaller.

C)Rod cells are highly sensitive to light and function in nightvision, whereas cone cells are capable of detecting a wide spectrum of light photons and are responsible for colour vision.

Note - hope this is accurate :)

Answer:

The one treated with DNase and protease

Explanation:

The samples that will transform yellow into purple if RNA is the genetic material are the ones treated with DNase and protease respectively.

The treatment of the heat-killed sample of the purple life with DNase will ensure that the DNA in the sample becomes degraded while treatment with protease will ensure that protein is degraded, leaving only the RNA. Thus, the RNA can be taken up by the yellow life form and become transformed into purple if indeed RNA is the genetic material.

The sample treated with RNase cannot transform the yellow life into purple because the RNase catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components.

Answer:

c. accidental removal of the parathyroid glands during surgery

Explanation:

Parathyroid gland is found closely situated at the back of the thyroid gland in the human neck region. Regulation of serum calcium levels in the body is a major function of the parathyroid gland through the secretion of a hormone called parathyroid hormone or parathormone.

During the surgery conducted to remove the thyroid gland, it is very likely that the parathyroid glands were accidentally damaged or removed. This most likely led to the non--secretion of parathormone, which is responsible for secretion of calcium in the body, when calcium levels drop.
