Meconium ileus, in newborns, may indicate the presence of cystic fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder mainly associated with cells capable of producing mucus. These cells are found in sweat glands, digestive system and lungs belonging to respiratory system. Thus, the abnormality in mucus production, in sticky and thick nature, disrupts the normal functioning of human body. They block the ducts and tubes, which can result in life threatening condition.

The mutation responsible for cystic fibrosis occurs in the gene CFTR, which is abbreviated form of Cystic fibrosis trans membrane conductance regulator. The primary function of gene is to regulate the exchange of fluids and salts present in the cells.

Meconium ileus refers to the inability of bowel movement in the newborn. This occurs due to thick and sticky mucus, which is indicative of cystic fibrosis, as discussed above.

The number of ducks in a pond is equal to the square root of the number of fish, and the number of turtles is equal to the cube
brilliants [131]

Answer:

There are 64 fish, 8 ducks and 4 turtles.

Explanation:

From the question, there can be from 2 to 99 fish in the pond. However, there cannot be fractions in the number of fish, ducks or turtles. Hence, the number of fish must have both of a perfect square and perfect cube. The perfect squares from 2 to 99 are 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64 and 81. The perfect cubes from 2 to 99 are 8, 27 and 64. Since only 64 fits both criteria, the number of fish is 64. The number of ducks is the square root of number of fish, which is the square root of 64. The square root of 64 can be either positive 8 or negative 8. However, there cannot be negative numbers, so there are 8 ducks in total. The number of turtles is the cube root of the number of fish, which is the cube root of 64 and it is 4.

How does evolution lead to both the diversity and the unity of life?
gogolik [260]
<span>Simple. All of the millions of different life forms (the diversity of life) have come about by natural selection, whereby random mutations in the genes have either succeeded or failed. But all life can be traced back to a common single-celled origin. Thus we have the unity of life where we (possibly) share more than 50 % of our DNA with a crocodile.eg:analogous organs, homologous organs.</span>
