Ear wax has nothing to do with germs.
The eustachian tubes (one on each side) help drain the sinuses and ears. Ear wax is a natural "lubricant" of the ear canal, much like saliva lubricates the mucous membranes of the mouth.
Ear wax darkens with illnesses or environmental changes. For example, cigarette smokers often produce more and darker ear wax than non-smokers.
It is true that ear wax "catches" insects, but only because of the sticky nature of ear wax. It prevents the insect from moving, but that also means the insect can't move OUT. Once trapped, the wax suffocates the insect.
What else can I help you with?
Is there DNA present in earwax?
Yes, there is DNA present in earwax.
Another name for earwax?
Another name for earwax is cerumen. Earwax is a waxy substance that is yellow in color and is secreted in the ear canal.
In humans having wet earwax is a dominant trait. Having dry earwax is recessive. a) A man has two recessive alleles. What is his phenotype?
A man with two recessive alleles for earwax would have the phenotype of dry earwax. Since dry earwax is the recessive trait, having two recessive alleles means he expresses this trait. Therefore, his phenotype is characterized by dry earwax.
If they have a child what is the probability of their child having wet earwax?
The probability of a child having wet earwax depends on the genetics of the parents. Wet earwax is typically governed by a dominant allele, while dry earwax is recessive. If both parents have wet earwax (and are either homozygous or heterozygous), the child will likely inherit the wet earwax trait. However, if one parent has dry earwax, the probability varies based on the genetic makeup of both parents.
Is earwax normal?
It is normal for the ear canal to have some yellowish-brown earwax
If this man and woman have a child is it possible for their child to have dry earwax?
Yes, it is possible for their child to have dry earwax, depending on the genetic traits inherited from the parents. Dry earwax is often associated with a specific allele of the ABCC11 gene, which can be passed down from either parent. If both parents carry the allele for dry earwax, their child may inherit it, leading to dry earwax production. However, if the child inherits the allele for wet earwax from both parents, they will likely have wet earwax instead.
Is this man and woman have a child is it possible for their children to have dry earwax?
Yes, it is possible for their children to have dry earwax. The type of earwax—dry or wet—is largely determined by genetics, specifically by a single gene that influences this trait. If either parent carries the gene for dry earwax, their children can inherit that trait. Therefore, the presence of dry earwax in the offspring is dependent on the genetic combinations they receive from their parents.
Does a panda have earwax?
yes
What are the different of the body?
earwax
Is earwax good for a cold sore after a scab has formed?
Earwax isn't good for a cold sore after a scab has formed.
Does God have earwax?
No. God does not have earwax, for He has no physical ears, for He is God, spirit, and therefore not man.
Why ears have earwax?
That's a good question! As I understand it, earwax protects the ear by the collection & removal of foreign bodies!
