First pass metabolism of a drug is said to occur when the concentration of a drug that is administered orally is significantly reduced before it reaches the systemic circulation. 
First pass metabolism usually occur in the liver.
The routes of drug administration that avoid complete first pass metabolism are: sublingual, transdermal, rectal and inhalation.

A woman heterozygous for polydactyly (extra fingers and toes), a dominant trait, is married to a normal man. What is the probabi
Feliz [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is -50%

Explanation:

Polydactyly is a dominant trait where a person gets an extra finger or toes the dominant allele is represented by P = allele for polydactyly, and the recessive allele represented by p = normal allele

So, the heterozygous woman will be - Pp & the normal man will be - pp.  The presence of one allele of polydactyly will be able to show its effect as it is dominant.

Cross between heterozygous woman & normal man:

Gametes:

   P                              p

p Pp (Show polydactyly) pp (Normal phenotype)

p Pp (Show polydactyly) pp (Normal phenotype)

From the above Punnett square, the probability of an offspring that has extra fingers or toes will be 1/2 or 50%.

Which statement describes Linus Pauling's contribution to the understanding of DNA structure?
solong [7]

Answer:

t describes Linus Pauling's contribution to the understanding of DNA structure?

Having first discovered the spiral shape of proteins, Linus Pauling used x-ray technology to hypothesize that the DNA molecule consisted of two consistently spaced strands that formed a spiral shape.

Linus Pauling studied DNA base pairing.

Having originally studied proteins, Pauling proposed that DNA was a three-chained helix with a sugar-phosphate backbone at the center and bases sticking out from the backbone.

Linus Pauling conducted experiments to prove that DNA carried genetic information.
