Answer:
c. in renal dysfunction, dosage reduction is necessary to avoid seizures
Explanation:
Imipenem is an antibiotic which is given in combination with cilastatin. It is used to treat pneumonia, joint infections, urinary tract infections, sepsis etc. It kills bacteria by interfering with its cell wall formation process. It is metabolized in kidney reducing its half life so cilastatin is given with it to halt its renal metabolism.
Imipenem belongs to carbapenem family of antibiotics. Carbapenem antibiotics can cause seizures specially in people with nervous system disorders or renal failure. Dose must be reduced in patients with renal (kidney) dysfunction otherwise patient's kidneys will be damaged more and since they are already in weak state, it can prove dangerous to the patient.
The correct answer is B. 1 red; 2 pink; 1 white
Explanation:
In genetics, the combination of alleles (genotype) determines the phenotype or physical features; for example, in this case, the color of the flowers in the snapdragon plants can be determined by the combination of dominant alleles (R) and recessive (r) alleles. Additionally, in the case presented, a dominant allele combined with a recessive allele (Rr) leads to pink snapdragon plants, while two dominant alleles (RR) lead to red snapdragon plants, and two recessive alleles (rr) lead to white snapdragon plants.
According to this, the generation F2 shown in the chart produced 1 red plant because there is only one plant with RR genotype; 2 pink plants because there are two plants with Rr genotype; and finally one white plant because the last plant has an rr genotype.
Answer:
mitosis, cell growth, and differentiation
Explanation:
There are several ways through which plants grow which may include the process of mitosis mainly that involves cell division. The increase in height in plants is attributed to not only cell division but also growth of the newly formed cell.
Mitosis involved division of cell and in cell growth, cells increase their size that ultimately cause growth of plant height. The highly active growth cells are meristem cells that are found at tips of the plants. They are actively dividing zones of plants and with their division and growth plant increases their heights.
Another mechanism, responsible for increase in height is cell differentiation. Differentiation is the process during which cells are specialized to perform specialized function. For example: Xylem are specialized for transport of water. Phloem are specialized for the transport of food. Similarly, some cells are specialized for growth and they are aimed at increasing in size and division that ultimately increase the plant height.
So, mitosis, cell growth, and differentiation are the mechanisms, that increase plant height due to changes in specialized regions of cells in the tips of their branches.

Testosterone, the hormone responsible for the secondary sexual characteristics that develop in the male during adolescence, stimulates spermatogenesis. These secondary sex characteristics include a deepening of the voice, the growth of facial, axillary, and pubic hair, and the beginnings of the sex drive.
