Suppose that your pressure gauge for determining the blood pressure of a patient measured absolute pressure p instead of gauge p

ressure. How would you write the normal value of systolic blood pressure, 120 mmhg, in such a case?.

Absolute blood pressure is given by the sum of atmopspheric pressure and systolic pressure for a 120mm Hg systolic pressure.

(760+ 120)mm Hg= 880 mm Hg

How does gauge pressure differ from absolute pressure?

The unit of gage pressure is pg, and it is related to absolute pressure as follows: pg = p - pa, where pa is the local atmospheric pressure. Example: A tire pressure gauge in a car measures 32.0 psi.

The most basic difference between the two is that absolute pressure uses absolute zero as its zero point, so although gauge pressure uses atmospheric pressure.

Therefore, Gauge pressure measurement is imprecise due to varying atmospheric pressure, whereas absolute pressure is always definite.

Answer:

There is a low probability that a future pregnancy would exhibit similar phenotypes since it probably was a germinative line mutation that affected that egg.

Explanation:

The malformations of the unborn child, probably are due to a mutation in the germ cell of any or both parents. Germline mutations are detectable changes in a sperm or egg that we can see when the fetus is growing, as malformations since the original germ cell that was mutated divided itself to give more mutated cells for all the different parts of the fetus.
