Answer:
He is either not carrying the gene for RP or the RP gene has mutated.
Explanation:
RP or Retina Pigmentosa is an eye defect inherited by a person from a parent. The disease is degenerative as the individual gradually loses his sight. It normally starts off as night-blindness and could go as bad as a total loss of sight.
The mutation of both the RPGR and RP2 genes which are responsible for the function and structure of light-reception in the eye accounts for most cases of Retina Pigmentosa disease.
Answer:
Sympathetic nervous system
Explanation:
The sympathetic nervous system of the autonomic division prepares the body for stress or emergency conditions by generating the “fight-or-flight” responses. The sympathetic nervous system triggers the release of stress hormones from the adrenal medulla to generate the set of physiological responses.
There is dilation of the pupil, and an increased rate of heartbeat and increased blood pressure. Other responses include dilation of airways and dilation of blood vessels that supply blood to skeletal muscles, heart muscles, liver, etc. Under the given emergency condition, the sympathetic nervous system of Meghan was activated to generate the fight or flight response.
The correct answers are B & C. Silicon-32 is the parent isotope, which decays into phosphorus-32 (daughter isotope). The silicon-32 amount is halved every 170 years, so we can use this to determine how old the rock is. The amount of phosphorus-32 increases over time, but it is not equal to the amount of silicon-32.
Answer:
The original water sample contains 830,000 cells per milliliter.
Explanation:
A sample of well water is tested for its bacterial content in a plate count assay. A one-milliliter sample of the water is diluted in a 1:10 dilution series. One milliliter of the fourth dilution tube is plated in a pour plate. After incubation, the plate has 83 colonies, indicating that the original water sample contained 830,000 cells per milliliter.
