"A pregnant mother recently had an ultrasound that indicated massive defects in the formation of her unborn baby’s heart. Other

oddities were noted in the spinal cord region, the kidneys, and the formation of the facial features. She had an amniocentesis to examine the baby’s karyotype, and it was noted that there was a deletion of a small piece of one chromosome. The doctors advised her that her that she would likely miscarry. The parents consult you as a genetic advisor on the likelihood that a future pregnancy would exhibit similar phenotypes. What advice do you give this couple?"

Answer:

There is a low probability that a future pregnancy would exhibit similar phenotypes since it probably was a germinative line mutation that affected that egg.

Explanation:

The malformations of the unborn child, probably are due to a mutation in the germ cell of any or both parents. Germline mutations are detectable changes in a sperm or egg that we can see when the fetus is growing, as malformations since the original germ cell that was mutated divided itself to give more mutated cells for all the different parts of the fetus.

  • Somatropin injections are used to treat growth hormone insufficiency in both adults and children. Growth hormone is a natural hormone produced by your body.
  • Children with specific diseases that hinder normal growth and development can potentially benefit from somatropin injections to accelerate their growth.
  • The U.S. Food and Medicine Administration (FDA) has licensed the drug somatropin for a number of conditions, but it is mostly used to treat growth problems in children and growth hormone insufficiency in adults.
  • For the purpose of treating HIV-related cachexia or wasting in patients with the virus, somatropin is FDA-approved under the trade name Serostim.
  • Somatropin may be used off-label to treat the lipodystrophy syndrome linked to HIV.

Jessica, the NP is seeing an asthmatic child in the clinic today to evaluate the child's response to their prescribed therapy. T
azamat

The NP should change the medication regimen for SABA administration as needed and leukotriene modifier administration once daily.

This must be done because the old medication regiment causes the child to have systemic side effects. When this happens, the administration of a leukotriene modifier is ideal to control these effects and give more comfort to the child.

It is important to emphasize that:

  • Administration of SABA will only be necessary in cases of severe asthma attacks.

In addition, the child's growth may occur at a normal acceleration, preventing the child from having developmental problems, but allowing the asthma to be controlled.

Four oxygen molecules bind to a single hemoglobin protein.

Hence, the correct answer is option D "Heme".
