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.

This reduction in starch content occurred because starch was changed into simple sugars

<h3>Explanation: </h3>

Starch is a polymeric carbohydrate consist of many glucose units linked by glycosidic bonds. The iodine test is used to test for the presence of starch. Starch will change color to an intense "blue-black" colour after the addition of aqueous solutions of the triiodide anion. To do it we can add Iodine-KI reagent to a solution or directly on a potato or other materials such as bread, crackers, or flour The reaction between amylose that present in lesser amounts and iodine is said to account for the intense color change seen.

An iodine test of a tomato plant leaf revealed that starch was present at 5:00 p.m. on a sunny afternoon in July. When a similar leaf from the same tomato plant was tested with iodine at 6:00 am the next morning, the test indicates that less starch was present in this leaf than in the leaf tested the day before. This reduction in starch content occurred because starch was

  • 1. changed directly into proteins
  • 2. transported out of the leaves through the guard cells
  • 3. transported downward toward the roots through tubes
  • 4. changed into simple sugars

In the process of diffusion, when sugar is mixed with water, equilibrium would be reached
Sholpan [36]
The dissolved sugar molecules is distributed evenly all over the solution. 
The equilibrium is reached through diffusion. Diffusion is the net movement of molecules and atoms from a high concentration to area of lower concentration. This is considered as the result of the movement of molecules. Diffusion is driven by a gradient until the molecules are distributed randomly and uniformly all throughout the solution. This can be manifested by perfume sprayed in the air, dye dropped in a water. The distinguishing features of diffusion is that particle move randomly and in uniform pattern.
