steoporosis and related low bone mass affect many adults in North America, especially older women. One-third of all women experi

tatuchka [14]

Answer: This is TRUE for me. Osteoporosis is a preventable disease.

Explanation:

In this condition, bone density ( the amount of bone tissue) is reduced because it's deposition does not keep pace with resorption. Although the bone is adequately mineralised, it is fragile and microscopically abnormal, with loss of internal structure.

Peak bone mass occurs around 35 years and then gradually declines in both sexes. Lowered oestrogen levels after the menopause are associated with a period of accelerated bone loss in women. Thereafter bone density in women is less than in men for any given age. That is why in North America, one-third of all women experience fractures because of this disease, amounting to about 2 million bone fractures per year.

Common features of osteoporosis are:

--> skeletal deformity: gradual loss of height with age, caused by compression of vertebrae.

--> bone pain

--> fractures: especially of the hip ( neck of femur), wrist and vertebrae.

It is TRUE for me that some risk factors can't be changed ( which is the low oestrogen levels that occur after menopause in women) but others, such as poor calcium intake, can.

Exercise and Calcium intake during childhood and adolescence are important in determining eventual bone mass of an individual and in preventing risk of osteoporosis in later life.

What is nondisjunction? ______________ When does it happen? _______________ What is the result? __________ Name some examples __

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The process of reproduction is a pretty complex one, and there are several steps that are taken that, if taken wrong, can lead to abnormalities. The most important thing to know is that all humans have two sets of 23 chromosomes, one from each of their parents. The correct process of egg and sperm formation is meiosis, and it will ensure that from the originating cell, the gametes (or eggs) formed, will have the total amount of chromosomes needed.

During this process of meiosis, the chromosomes should be separated and evenly divided. But first, DNA replication must take place. This means that first two homologous chromosomes, and are created so that all new cells will have the same DNA information. This happens in Meiosis I, Anaphase I. On the second phase of meiosis, in its anaphase (meiosis II, anaphase II) a new division will happen, but this time, of sister chromatids. This separation process is called disjunction.

So, in answer to the question above, we have that:

1. Non-disjunction: is when the two pairs of homologous chromosomes (in meiosis I, anaphase I), or the two sister chromatids (in meiosis II, anaphase II), do not separate, or parts remain with the other.

2. This happens during two phases of Meiosis: Meiosis I, anaphase I and Meiosis II, anaphase II.

3. The result can be two cells with extra copies of chromosomes, and the other missing that extra pair of chromosomes and in the case of nondisjunction in anaphase II, the results can be: two normal haploid cells, and the other two will, one have an extra chromosome, and the other, be totally missing it.

4. Some examples of these situations, when female and male gametes unite to form a baby, would be: Trisomies (extra copies of chromosomes) and Monosomies (absent normal numbers of chromosomes).

14. Thomas is 3 months old and weighs 15 lb 6 oz. Thomas is prescribed a medication q6h. The label states that there's 400 mg of

lana66690 [7]

Thomas should receive 8.71 ml per day

<h3>Dosage</h3>

A dosage is the amount of a medicine or drug that someone takes or should take, and how ` they should take it.

1 oz = 0.0283495 kg; also 1 lb = 0.453592 kg.

Hence 15 lb 6 oz = (15 lb * 0.453592 kg/lb) + (6 oz * 0.0283495 kg/oz) = 6.97 kg

Since the dosage is 50 mg/kg/day. Hence amount of mg given is:

Amount of mg = 50 mg/kg/day * 6.97 kg = 348.5 mg per day

Each 10 ml contains 400 mg; hence:

ml = 348.5 mg * 10 ml per 400 mg = 8.71 ml per day

Thomas should receive 8.71 ml per day
