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.

"People in Albany and New York City are using “green roofs” to improve the environment. A green roof can be added to many buildi
Makovka662 [10]
Basically, the disadvantages of a green roof are listed in the last sentence:

<span>"However, green roofs can be expensive to install, and require care and maintenance"

The disadvantage of a green roof would be there for the owners: the cost and time needed to have such a roof.

An additional disadvantage would be the possibility of the plants on the roof mixing with and replacing the local vegetation, thus diminishing the biodiversity in this place.

There are 100 cats in a population that follows hardy-weinberg conditions. 4 cats display a recessive white coat color. how many
mr Goodwill [35]

We know that Hardy-Weinberg conditions include the following equations:


p^{2}+2pq+ q^{2}=1


where p+q=1


And where p = dominant, and q = recessive; this means that p^{2} is equal to the homozygous dominant, 2pq is the heterozygous, and q^{2} is the homozygous recessive .


So we have 100 total cats, with 4 having the recessive white coat color. That means we have a ratio of \frac{4}{100} or 0.04. Let that equal our q^{2} value.


So when we solve for q, we get:


q^{2}=0.04

q=\sqrt{0.04} =0.2


Now that we have our q value, we can use the other equation to find p:


p+q=1


p+0.2=1


p=0.8


So then we can solve for our heterozygous population:


2pq=2(0.8)(0.2)=0.32


This is the ratio of the population. So we then multiply this number by 100 to get the number of cats that are heterozygous:


0.32*100=32cats


So now we know that there are 32 heterozygous cats in the population.

A climate zone is an area that is defined by two main factors. What are they?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Temperature and precipitation.

Explanation:

Climate is defined as long-term climate patterns in a location. Looking at average temperature and precipitation through time is the simplest way to characterize the climate.

Temperature and precipitation are the two most significant factors in the climate of a place. Obviously, the annual average area temperature is significant, but the annual temperature range is important as well. Some locations range from the highest to the lowest temperature significantly wider than others. Average precipitation is very essential, but the annual change in precipitation is equally important. Some regions experience approximately the same precipitation year-round. For half of the year, other locations have very low precipitation while the other portion of the year has lots of precipitation.
