Since this is a known case of congestive heart failure, the general finding of lung congestion indicates a need for immediate attention. Also, the patient has deranged vital signs and needs attention. The blood pressure of the patient, particularly the diastolic blood pressure, is dropping (since the normal diastolic blood pressure is 60) and the patient may be in the early stages of shock. In the event of heart failure, most commonly in left sided heart failure, there is passive congestion of the lungs caused by pooling of the blood in the pulmonary circulation because of failure of the left ventricle to contract adequately. This will present as an increased respiratory rate and a low oxygen saturation as well as crackles indicating transudation; and this will be addressed as the patient's heart failure is managed.

The medical finding of the patient diagnosed with the heart failure demanding the attention of the doctor is the crackles in the both lung bases. This is a sign of the lung congestion. The patient is suffering from the congestive heart failure. The congested lungs are mostly a result of the accumulation of the blood back into the veins taking blood through a person's lungs because the heart is unable to pump it efficiently to the body. The increased pressure in these veins makes the fluid to flow in the alveloi leading to low levels of oxygen making it difficult for the person to breathe.

Hence, the answer is 'lung congestion'.

melamori03 [73]

Answer: d. The ecosystem reached its carrying capacity, and was not able to support continued population growth.

Explanation:

The carrying capacity can be defined as the maximum population size of the species that habitat or ecosystem can support or sustain on the basis of availability of food, water and other necessities. This is an important factor which keeps a balance of the population of a species in a particular region or ecosystem.

On the basis of the above information, The ecosystem reached its carrying capacity, and was not able to support continued population growth is the correct option to level off the rising populating of the birds.

A pea plant is heterozygous for both seed shape and seed color. S is the allele for the dominant, spherical shape characteristic
forsale [732]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

P1: SSyy

p2: ssYY

Explanation:

In the given question it is given that S is the allele for the dominant trait of spherical shape over s allele of dented shape and similarly Yellow pea seed is dominant over y green seed.

It is given that parent 1 or p1 is true breeding for green spherical shaped seeds which means it has two alleles of the same gene that are SSyy (S for spherical and y for green) and parent 2 or p2 is a pure bred plant with yellow dented shaped seeds that would be ssYY.
