As enlisted in the symptoms, both fever and fatigue indicate a more serious problem. Having a painful, burning sensation when urinating indicates symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI). However, further tests are required to find out the true condition of the patient.

Even with any kind of infection, if the patient qualifies at least to or more of the following criteria of Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS), it is identified to be sepsis.

<span>·         </span>Temp >100.4 or <96.8

<span>·         </span>HR >90

<span>·         </span>RR >20

<span>·         </span>WBC >12,000 or <4000

<span>·         </span>Bands >10%

With the new episode of confusion, it is considered a red flag for older people. Though it may be a sign of a neurological problem, other symptoms mentioned in the scenario are mostly related to a common infection such as (UTI).

Todos os animais herbívoros são mamiferos?
Kryger [21]
Answer: Os herbívoros são animais que apresentam dieta que inclui vegetais ou algas, ou seja, alimentam-se de organismos produtores em uma cadeia alimentar. Vários animais apresentam essa forma de alimentação, sendo tal dieta observada tanto em vertebrados como em invertebrados.

Os animais herbívoros apresentam características que auxiliam na captação desse alimento bem como no seu processo de digestão. Nos vertebrados, por exemplo, observa-se a presença de dentes adaptados à trituração do vegetal e um sistema digestório rico em bactérias que atuam promovendo a digestão da celulose.

1. In pea plants, tall (T) is dominant to dwarf (t). Show the cross
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Tt - 2/4 = 1/2 or 50%            Heterozygous TALL

tt - 2/4 = 1/2 or 50%             Homozygous Dwarf

Explanation:

So let's make a Punnett for this so you can see what the outcome is yourself:

Tall is <u>dominant</u> - T

Dwarf is <u>recessive</u> - t

Heterozygous means that they have one of each allele. The genotype of one parent would be then Tt.

***It is heterozygous tall because Tall is a dominant trait so if it is accompanied by the recessive trait dwarf, then the Tall allele would mask it.

The other parent is a dwarf plant. The genotype would then be tt.

*** Now for a recessive trait to appear, it should not have a dominant trait mixed with it, which could mask it. The result then is homozygous recessive or homozygous Dwarf.

So now that we know the genotypes of the parent plants, we can put it into a Punnet:

    t      t

T  Tt   Tt

t   tt    tt

As you can see, out of the 4 outcomes we have:

Tt - 2/4 = 1/2 or 50%            Heterozygous TALL

tt - 2/4 = 1/2 or 50%             Homozygous Dwarf
