Answer:
Explanation: Psychological aging focuses on sensory processes, perception, coordination, mental capacity, human development, personality, and coping ability as they are affected by aging. In most societies, older people are generally viewed as a group of with common characteristics and needs. Older age is usually viewed as a state, a stage or an event.
Ageing - Physical and Psychological Changes. Pathological Ageing
The process of aging has been around as long as life itself. All living organisms pass through three broad stages from conception to death, which are maturation, maturity and aging. Aging affects everyone because nearly everyone has the potential to grow old and all the societies in which we live have older members (Macdonald, 1997). Gerontology is the use of reason to understand aging. The term was used to refer to the scientific study of aging, but nowadays it includes the study of aging using views from other disciplines such as humanities, social policy and human services. To correctly understand aging, knowledge from a variety of sources is needed, therefore gerontology includes the results of research on aging from all academic disciplines and fields of professional practice. There are four interrelated aspects to the study of aging, which are, physical, psychological, social psychological and social. The study of physical aging examines the causes and consequences of the body’s declining capacity to renew itself and the means for preventing, treating, or compensating for illness or disability caused or related by physical aging (Atchley, 1997). Psychological aging focuses on sensory processes, perception, coordination, mental capacity, human development, personality, and coping ability as they are affected by aging.
In most societies, older people are generally viewed as a group of with common characteristics and needs. Older age is usually viewed as a state, a stage or an event. In reality, older people are not a homogenous group, but rather highly diverse individuals. The factor that is common to all older people is the accumulation of more numerous life experiences over a greater period of time than those of younger people (Bowling & Dieppe, 2005). Aging is defined as the process of becoming older, a process that is genetically determined and environmentally modulated. Aging is something that everyone will have to experience. Everyone will have to grow old. Normal ageing brings about changes in the body and mind, therefore both physical and psychological. These symptoms are all part of ageing, but also some might not be due to normal aging but rather due to diseases, which can be treated or remedied. Therefore, it is important to learn about normal ageing in order to be able to distinguish between disease and normal ageing so to be in a position to seek proper and early treatment for the disease.
Changes related to normal Ageing
Vision
Vision is usually impaired due to ageing. These can be due to presbyopia. There can also be overflow of tears due to blockage of drainage ducts and well as old people may have dry eyes (Chopdar et al., 2003). In order to minimise such problems it is important to check for presbyopia and wear suitable lens. Also it is important to seek a doctor’s advice on the need of any eye drops, only against doctor’s prescription.
Hearing
Due to ageing hearing may be impaired. Hearing loss is common due to old age (Bates, 1993). In order to be able to adjust due to this condition lifestyle modifications may help to overcome this situation. This may include the consideration of hearing aids. Also the installation of loudspeakers to devices such as door bells and telephone units.
Sensation
Sensation also if affected due to normal ageing. Old people have a blunted touch sensation, especially near the tips of the fingers and toes. Also there is a blunted sensation of temperature (Macdonald, 1997). Therefore, in order to counter act these changes, it is important for old people to wear well fitted shoes and take good care of their feet. If any wounds are present these should be inspected regularly. Also it is important to wear suitable clothes according to the day’s weather conditions.
Fruit color in a particular plant is controlled by a set of three quantitative traits that work in an equal and additive manner. Each trait has two alleles (i.e., A and a); each allele represented by a capital letter produces one dose of yellow pigment, while alleles represented with lower case letters do not produce any pigment at all. How many different shades of yellow fruit color are there
Answer:
7
Explanation:
The number of distinct shades of fruit color would be 7. It is given that the color is dominated by a group of three QTL(quantitative traits) with each trait having two alleles(A,a). Out of these two alleles, one represented by a capital letter(A) generates a single dose of yellow pigment while the latter represented by a smaller case letter(a) does not generate any pigment. Since there is no environmental effect, the number of various yellow shades would be 7 through the combinations of yellow and colorless pigments(A/a, A/a, A/a, A).

What is the function of nitrogen fixing bacteria
Answer:
microorganisms capable of transforming atmospheric nitrogen into fixed nitrogen (inorganic compounds usable by plants). More than 90 percent of all nitrogen fixation is effected by these organisms, which thus play an important role in the nitrogen cycle.
A: None of the potential offspring would be male, because the potentially male zygote would have two X chromosomes, and the Y chromosome would be ignored.
B: The male offspring would all be red-green color-blind, because of interference from alleles on the Y chromosome.
C: The male offspring would have full-color vision, because of the presence of the extra X chromosome
D: There would be no change to the phenotypes of the possible offspring, because the extra X chromosome would not be active.
Answer: C the male offspring would all be red-green color-blind, because of interference from alleles on the Y chromosomes
Explanation: College board got it correct
The male offspring would all be red-green colour-blind, because of interference from alleles on the Y chromosome. Hence, option B is correct.
What is colour blindness?a diminished capacity to tell some colors apart. Frequently, the condition is hereditary. Medications and specific eye conditions are additional factors. Men are affected more than women.
Inherited color blindness is not treatable. Treating the underlying issue may be helpful if another condition is the cause of color blindness.
The X chromosome is where the genes that might cause red-green color blindness is handed down. Men are more likely than women to have red-green color blindness since it is X-chromosome-inherited. This is due to the fact that males inherit just one X chromosome from their mothers. Hence, option B is correct.

During which of the following processes would carbon most likely be required?
A. Breaking of rocks
B. Generation of electricity
C. Making of glucose
D. Running of cars
I think its C but when I looked the question up to check my answer, someone said they put C and got it wrong. I know we take fossil fuels out of the ground and burn them to create electricity or to make our cars run. and that burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide back into the air. And I know that carbon dioxide, water, and light make glucose.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Answers D
Answer:
Glucose
Explanation:
During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon from the atmosphere so that they can create glucose. During cellular respiration, living things give off carbon as a waste product. This gives the carbon back into the air.

what were the early plants called?
Explanation:
The oldest fossil evidence of seed plants is of Late Devonian age, and they appear to have evolved out of an earlier group known as the progymnosperms. These early seed plants ranged from trees to small, rambling shrubs; like most early progymnosperms, they were woody plants with fern-like foliage.

Which of the following describes the mRNA molecule produced from transcription?
The mRNA molecule is made using the coding strand of DNA, which depends on the gene being
transcribed.
O The mRNA molecule is made using the coding strand of DNA and is transcribed in the parallel
direction
The mRNA molecule is complementary to its DNA template, which depends on the gene being
transcribed.
O The mRNA molecule is identical to its DNA template, which depends on the gene being transcribed.
Answer:
The mRNA molecule is complementary to its DNA template, which depends on the gene being transcribed.
Explanation:
The process of the formation of RNA from DNA is called transcription.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) is a single-stranded RNA molecule that is complementary to its DNA template as the enzyme, RNA polymerase matches the complementary bases to the original DNA strand and then initiates the process of RNA synthesis. Once the strand gets completed, the process got terminated.
Hence, the correct answer is "The mRNA molecule is complementary to its DNA template, which depends on the gene being transcribed."
