Analogy: Thwart:sabotage; cold:_______________.

xeze [42]

Thwart is to Sabotage as Cold is to : C. Arctic

They're synonyms

Thwart and Sabotage has a very similar meaning , to prevent someone to accomplish something. The definition of Arctic is : Extremely cold

In fruit flies, straight wings are dominant and curly wings are recessive. What will the generations look like? Assume that Mend

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The P generation has straight wings and curly wings.

The F1 generation has all straight wings.

The F2 generation has straight wings and curly wings.

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for wing shape in fruit flies. The allele for straight wings (S) is dominant over the allele for curly wings (s). This means that allele "S" will mask the phenotypic expression of allele "s" in a heterozygous state.

According to the question, the cross follows all Mendel's method of crossing two true breeding parents with opposite traits. Hence, the parent generation (P generation) will be between a truebreeding straight wings parent (SS) and a truebreeding curly wings parent (ss). (See attached image for full cross).

Since the straight wing allele (S) is dominant, all the F1 offsprings will possess straight wings with the genotype: Ss, which is heterozygous.

If this F1 offsprings are self-crossed i.e. Ss × Ss, four possible offsprings in the phenotypic ratio 3 straight wings : 1 curly wing will be produced in the F2 generation. The offsprings will possess the following genotypes: SS, Ss, Ss, and ss.

Offsprings SS, Ss, and Ss will all be phenotypically straight-winged

Offsprings ss will be phenotypically curly-winged.

In overall, this means that P generation has both straight and curly wings (SS and ss), F1 generation has only straight wings (Ss), F2 generation has both straight and curly wings (SS, Ss and ss).

Polycystic ovary syndrome is an endocrine disorder and a common cause of chronic anovulation. In addition to the clinical manife

Scilla [17]

Answer:

1. Insulin resistance and diabetes

2. Metformin

Explanation:

Metformin can be used to treat polycystic ovary syndrome, especially for insulin-resistant women (insulin is a hormone that transports sugar into cells).

People with insulin resistance have high levels of this hormone in their blood and excess circulating insulin can aggravate manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome, and also increase the risk of diabetes.

The main benefits of metformin in the treatment of polycystic ovaries is the normalization of menstrual irregularity and the restoration of ovulatory cycles.

Since most women with polycystic ovary syndrome are insulin resistant, metformin is a good treatment option in some cases.

However, the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome should be individualized for each woman, depending on the symptoms presented and the goal to be achieved with the treatment.
