The nurse should recognize this as Chvostek sign.

<h3>What is Chvostek sign?</h3>

A clinical indication that someone may have low blood calcium levels is the Chvostek sign (a decreased serum calcium, called hypocalcemia). The aberrant twitching of muscles that are stimulated (innervated) by the facial nerve  (also known as Cranial Nerve Seven, or CNVII) is known as the Chvostek sign.

The facial muscles on the same side of the face will occasionally contract when the facial nerve is touched in front of the ear (called ipsilateral facial spasm). Frequently, the muscles that regulate the nose, lips, and brows will spasm.

How does lack sea ice during the Antarctic winter affect temperature on the continent during the summer?
wel
Changes in the amount of sea ice can disrupt normal ocean circulation, thereby leading to changes in global climate. Even a small increase in temperature can lead to greater warming over time, making the polar regions the most sensitive areas to climate change on Earth

Which of the following statements about excision repair is correct?
maxonik [38]

Answer:

a. True, b. False, c.True, d. True

Explanation:

a. Base excision repair is started by a DNA glycosylase  that recognizes the changes and removes the altered base by cleavage of the glycosidic bond binding the base and the deoxyribose sugar together.

b. Nucleotide excision repair works by a cut-and patch mechanism that removes their heavy lesions, including pyrimidine dimers and nucleotides . Endonucleases are responsible for the lesion of the damaged strand.

c. Nucleotide excision repair  is initiated by the proteins namely UvrA, UvrC, and UvrB in Escherichia coli.

-UvrD (helicase II) later removes the damaged strand

-DNA polymerase I (PolI) fills in the resulting gap.

d. DNA glycolases removes the damaged nitrogenous base.

-It leaves the sugar-phosphate backbone intact and thus creating an  apurinic/apyrimidinic site, which is commonly referred to as an AP site.

e. Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A(XPA)

-This is an essential protein in the nucleotide excision repair pathway.

- It helps to make a pre-incision complex along with other proteins.

If all Insectivorous birds and remaining beetles were removed from habitat 2 and SOO additional dark brown beetles and 500 addit
arsen [322]

Answer and Explanation:

Throughout the world, the most different species of organisms are insects.  As compared to the other species, the number of insect species is greater. The exact number of insect species can be estimated from previous and current studies. Approximately nine hundred thousand species of insects are known. Insectivorous birds are those birds that feed on insects. For numerous growing insectivorous birds, insects are used as a source of protein.  One of the most common kinds of insects is beetles. They are found everywhere.  Beetles eat fruits, leaves, and other parts of the plant. The reproductive and fertility ability of insects is remarkable. In habitat 2, beetles and insectivorous birds were living. If all insectivorous birds and remaining beetles were removed from habitat, two and five hundred additional light tan beetles and 500 dark brown beetles were released in habitat 2. After one more week, one thousand dark brown beetles would be expected to be recaptured in the habitat 2.

What is the correct order of genetic information found in a cell from Most Complex to Least Complex?
erastova [34]
D is the answer cause


A genome is an organism's complete set of DNA including all of its genes. Each genome contains all of the information needed to build and maintain that organism. This is the largest in the given options.
Chromosomes are the threadlike structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells.
The building blocks of nucleic acids are the nucleotides.
A gene is the basic physical and functional unit of heredity. Genes are made up of DNA.
Thus, the correct answer is option (D), 'Genome, chromosome, gene, nucleotide'.
