Answer:

Serum potassium level of 2.6 mEq/L

Explanation:

Chemotherapy has many side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, fever, etc. Vomiting and diarrhea can affect the fluid and electrolyte balance adversely in the body. This can lead to a reduction in the serum potassium level.

A low level of potassium in the body can lead to weakness, cramp, paralysis, twitch, abnormal heart rhythm, etc. The normal blood potassium level is 3.6 to 5.2 millimoles per liter so a serum potassium level of 2.6 mEq/L is the finding that indicates a chemotherapy-induced complication.

What usually happens to the host’s DNA during the lytic cycle?
QveST [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

A.It is destroyed.

Explanation:

The lytic cycle is considered as one of the two reproductive cycles that virus use for its reproduction (the other cycle is the lysogenic cycle).

This cycle results in the destruction of the host cell.

Bacteriophages (virus that infects bacteria)  use this cycle and referred as virulent phages.

There are basically five steps in this cycle -

Attachment of virus with the host cell membrane, penetration of the genome, which is followed by biosynthesis using host machinery, assembly of virus particles, and finally release, causing host cell destruction.

Thus, option A is the right answer.
