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.

Answer:

The lack of Mad1 protein can cause faster cell division.

Explanation:

The Mad1 protein is responsible for regulating the fixation of chromosomes in spindle microtubules, during cell division. With the presence of this protein, anaphase is prevented from starting while the spindle, where the chromosomes attach, is formed.

Without this protein, this check is not done and cell division occurs faster, which is one of the reasons why cell division can be accelerated.

Which description is an example of codominance
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Codominance means that neither allele can mask the expression of the other allele. An example in humans would be the ABO blood group, where alleles A and alleles B are both expressed. So if an individual inherits allele A from their mother and allele B from their father, they have blood type AB.
