What is bends condition in sea mammals? And what is it caused by?

Expert Solution

Decompression sickness is an abnormal condition in which dissolved gases like nitrogen (in the form of bubbles) coming out of the body solutions in depressurisation conditions literally means if there is quick diving in the ocean waters. Marine mamals also develop this type of sickness but they are very adept in avoiding this condition after their feeding in deep water. In case of marine mammals such as Dolphins, whales they avoid this condition by avoiding the bends and reduce the taking long.

They reduce getting nitrogen bubble formation in deep waters by slowing their heart rate and also collapsing the little air filled lung chambers. They also limit the transfer of channel blood passing to essential to organ systems mainly to the brain in order to conserve the level of oxygen.

The condition pulmonary fibrosis is caused by the replacement of elastic fibers in the lung with inelastic collagen fibers, which decreases the lungs' distensibility (the ability to stretch outward). Would pulmonary fibrosis make inspiration or expiration difficult? Explain.

a) If the atmospheric condition at sea level is 101.3 kPa and 18oC, estimate and plot the pressure as a function of elevation for the following conditions: i. Air temperature is constant ii. Air temperature decreases linearly with elevation at a rate of 6.0oC/km. b) Use the result above to estimate pressure and temperature of air on top of Mount Everest (height ~ 8,800 m).

Brachydactyly is a condition caused by an allele dominant to wild-type in humans, in which the fingers and toes are shortened. In a population of 10,000 people, 1,600 are BB, 4,800 are Bb, and 3,600 are bb. A)What percentage of people in this population have short fingers and toes? B)What is the frequency of the b allele? C)Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium?
