There are choices for this question namely:

A. Cirrhosis
B. Hepatitis
C. Nephritis
<span>D. Rhabdomyolysis
</span>
The correct answer is "rhabdomyolysis". The major adverse effect that is related to simvastatin intake is rhabdomyolysis or the death of skeletal muscle tissue causing the release of myoglobin to the bloodstream. Myoglobin elimination through the kidneys may impair kidney function and cause acute renal failure that is why kidney function tests are requested. Myoglobin metabolism in the liver also puts stress to the organ that is why liver function tests should be requested.

Why don’t recessive traits always eventually disappear from populations?
Iteru [2.4K]
Because the recessive trait might not show, but its there, lets say B is brown eyes and b is blue eyes, BB is brown, Bb is brown, and bb is blue, if B is present, brown will always show, but as long as the little b is there, there is a chance of the kids having blue eyes, sure most people would have brown eyes, but a lot of the people with brown eyes would be Bb
