It is called THERAPEUTIC INDEX. Therapeutic index is the comparison of the amount of a particular drug that causes the desired therapeutic effects and the amount that causes toxicity. The index can be low or high. A drug with a low therapeutic index will require only a small increase in dose to produce toxic effects in users.

Los temas.<br> 1. ¿La Meiosis es la división propia de células?
Setler [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Al igual que la mitosis, la meiosis es una forma de división celular eucariota. Sin embargo, estos dos procesos distribuyen el material genético entre las células hijas resultantes de formas muy diferentes. La mitosis crea dos células hijas idénticas, cada una de las cuales contiene el mismo número de cromosomas que su célula madre.

The length of bamboo grows much faster than that of thickness why?​
iren [92.7K]

Using a slow- and fast-growing variant of bamboo, Wei and colleagues looked at cell division, growth, and gene expression (through transcriptomics, which measures all the genes being expressed by an individual) to discover which genes may be responsible for fast growth in bamboo. They found that the slow-growing variant had reduced expression of genes relating to cell wall construction, the plant hormone auxin (important for cell growth and cell division), and had irregular cell growth and cell walls. Wei and colleagues suggest that a reduced ability to produce and perceive auxin, combined with a weakened cell wall, are responsible for the slow growth seen in the bamboo variant.
