5. Gamete cells = sex cells. Meiosis involves sexual reproduction.
6. Haploid cells are cells that have HALF the amount of chromosomes as the original cell. In meiosis, the original cell first doubles in chromosomes, splits into two cells, and then those two cells split into four cells. Therefore, your end result will be haploid daughter cells.
7. It is actually not in any phase of meiosis. Cells get doubled in a process called interphase--this happens BEFORE meiosis to prep for cell division. It then splits into two cells, and those two cells each have the number of chromosomes that the original cell had before it duplicated.
8. Cells divide TWICE. It goes through interphase first before meiosis, then goes through Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. It splits into two cells during cytokinesis. THEN, it splits AGAIN in Prophase 2, Metaphase 2, Anaphase 2, Telophase 2, and finally Cytokinesis 2. So it results in 4 cells altogether.
9. Same as question 5.

Hope this helped some! :)

A female patient who is diabetic sustained an ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The nurse provides discharge teaching.
Aneli [31]

Answer:

The options

A) "Medications are needed to prevent heart failure."

B) "I will take aspirin, atenolol, and captopril indefinitely."

C) "My blood pressure should be less than 130/80 mm Hg."

D) "Daily estrogen will prevent another heart attack."

The CORRECT ANSWER IS D)

D) "Daily estrogen will prevent another heart attack."

Explanation:

A reduction in the natural hormone estrogen levels could be a causative factor in heart disease increase within post-menopausal women. Estrogen is thought to show a positive impact on the inner layer of artery wall, functioning in such a way to keep blood vessels elastic.

In spite of the advantages of estrogen, the American Heart Association speaks against employing postmenopausal hormone therapy to decrease the likelihood of coronary heart disease or stroke as some research works have revealed that it vividly do not decrase the risk of heart attack but increases the likelihood of blood clots and stroke.
