Introduction:

Understanding the human body has an interesting and long history. The ancestors would have been very curious about studying the mechanisms of the human body and so, they must have wondered how the body fights against various illnesses.

Explanation of Solution

A healthy body does not require much attention or demand special care. However, an injured body demands more attention. The suffering from pains and aches, whenever people were injured, broken bones, contracted infections, bled and developed diseases, they triggered the people to think about their causes.

Initially, the healers heavily relied on superstitions and magic to heal sick people. It was much later that medical workers started treating the ill and examining the human body with medical techniques. Hence, they first observed the effects of injuries and illnesses, then they noticed how the wounds heal and lastly, they examined the dead bodies of humans to determine the cause of death.

Conclusion

The factors that had probably stimulated an early interest in the human body were illnesses and injuries suffered by primitive people, which led to the discovery of medical treatments.

How many types of reactions can an enzyme perform?
Your goal is to produce black seeds resistant to mold. So you make the same cross again (between a homozygous black seeded, mold susceptible parent and a homozygous white seeded and mold resistant parent), and, again, advance progeny by SSD to create 100 F10 generation plants.   Based on the information you obtained from your first crossing experiment (Question #4), how many F10 plants would you expect to have black seeds and be resistant to mold? Assume that a toxin produced by the mold fungus has been isolated. Only mold resistant seeds will germinate in the presence of the toxin. Could you use this toxin screening procedure to have segregation distortion work in your favor in the F2 generation? Explain your answer. Info from Question 4 a. P Locus (Seed Color): Hypothesis: The null hypothesis (H₀) is that seed color is controlled by alleles at a single locus. Observed Data: Total white seeds: 45 (resistant plants) + 6 (susceptible plants) = 51 Total black seeds: 7 (resistant…
