The nurse should check if the 2 - month old infant has voided.

This should be done because kidney function may fail with diarrhea. So, it is important to check if the kidney functions properly before adding potassium (to prevent hyperkalemia).

The Punnett square shown presents a cross between two piranhas. Both parents have large teeth.
Llana [10]

Answer:

The correct answer would be C)  75% large-toothed and 25% small-toothed.

It can be explained with the help of the law of dominance which states that the dominant allele expresses itself completely over the recessive allele in the heterozygous condition.

So, the genotype TT, as well as Tt, will result in the production of dominant trait or character in the offspring.

Thus, three (1 TT and 2 Tt) out of four offspring would have large teeth and only one offspring (tt) would have small teeth.

Hence, we can conclude that 75% of the offspring will have large teeth and only 25% will have small teeth.

Why is it important to understand levels of organization in living systems in terms of both structure and function of each level
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The living world can be organized into different levels.

Levels of organization are structures in nature, usually defined by part-whole relationships, with things at higher levels being composed of things at the next lower level. Typical levels of organization that one finds in the literature include the atomic, molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organismal, group, population, community, ecosystem, landscape, and biosphere levels.

Explanation:

Yet, in spite of the ubiquity of the notion, levels of organization have received little explicit attention in biology or its philosophy. Usually they appear in the background as an implicit conceptual framework that is associated with vague intuitions. Attempts at providing general and broadly applicable definitions of levels of organization have not met wide acceptance. In recent years, several authors have put forward localized and minimalistic accounts of levels, and others have raised doubts about the usefulness of the notion as a whole.

Just helps a lot overall, especially if you are planning to go into a field related to biology.  Hope this helps! :)
