Answer:

1) X- linked dominant

2) In the pedigree, the condition isinherited in every generation, which is a dominant trait. It is also dominant because one parent from the P generation in both Jack and Jill have the allele, showing that only the certain allele needs to be present, another trait for dominance. It can be inferred that it is X- linked because 3 of the 4 sons were afflicted compared to the 1 girl, leading us to believe that it would only take one afflicted X- linked allele to cause deafness.

Which treatment is WRONG when there is severe toxicity of digoxin?
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. give furosemide.

Explanation:

Digoxin is a drug that uses in the cardiovascular condition. It inhibits the Na-K ATPase enzyme, which functions to maintain the intracellular environment by regulating the entry and exit of sodium and potassium.  

Digoxin toxicity may occur due to the low level of potassium (inside the cell)due to the inhibitaion of the sodium-potassium pump.  Furosemide is a diuretic drug that decreases salt concentration (such as ions) in the body by increasing urine output. and causes a low level of potassium in the body

Thus, furosemide increases digoxin toxicity as during low levels of potassium, digoxin can easily bind with the sodium-potassium pump and shows severe effects.
