Answer:

Option-D

Explanation:

Parkinson's diseases are a neural disorder which affects the movement of the human body. The disease is caused by the low production or no production of dopamine by the neurons which thus interfere with the impulse transfer and thus movement.

In the given question, the patient with Parkinson's disease is provided with levodopa but no improvement is observed therefore the prescriber must change the drug regimen, for example, the levodopa should be given in combination with carbidopa. These medications enter the blood-brain barrier and get converted to the dopamine.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.

neonofarm [45]

Answer: If one is constructing a phylogeny of reptiles using DNA sequence data of birds, mammals, amphibians or fish, the suitable outgroup to be used are mammals due to the time of divergence from other group of organisms.

Explanation: Phylogeny is used to determine evolutionary relationship between items or organisms. A phylogenetic tree is a graphical illustration of phylogenetic relationship. In phylogeny, an outgroup represent an organism that is more distantly related to other group of organisms.

In a phylogenetic tree, outgroup stands alone. It shows that the time of divergence of that particular organism is far from other group of organisms. Outgroup is used to root a tree and sometimes represent a group that is more ancestral on a tree.

It should be noted that differences in the DNA sequences of the organisms under consideration will determine which organism will serve as the outgroup.
