Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

Josefina should be well hydrated before taken ibuprofen.She should take her medication with enough fluid, and drink plenty fluid afterwards.

Ibuprofen is a Cox-1 inhibitors. The class of drugs that blocks prostagladins secreation .In particular it blocks  kidney  prostaglandins  secretion and therefore reduction in blood flow to the kidney. With the drop in renal blood flow,the homeostatic function of the kidney is affected, Glomerular   filtration, tubular re-absorption and secretions are affected , thus water and electrolyte  balance  regulatory functions of the kidney are disrupted. With drop in fluid re-absorption  back into the blood, the solute  potential of the blood rises,  leading to dehydration.

Therefore before  and after taken  this drug, enough fluid should be taken, to make up for the  disruptions in the kidney water balance mechanisms as a result inhibitory effects of ibuprofen on renal blood flow, which causes dehydration.

Site-directed mutagenesis is a method in biochemistry/ molecular biology that introduces small changes into the DNA sequence of
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

The mutation is created at a site defined in the DNA sequence. First, it is necessary to synthesize the primer, which contains the mutation. Said primer needs to hybridize with the DNA molecule that has the gene of interest. Using the enzyme DNA polymerase, the mutation is incorporated and allows the formation of the complete DNA. This DNA chain can be introduced into a host cell and subsequently cloned

Explanation:

With this technique it is possible to establish specific mutations, deletions or insertions. Through this it is possible to control the type of mutation that is wanted in the DNA. For example, in the case of deletions, primers are used which, in addition to having their capacity to perform the deletion, should also be able to hybridize the DNA chain. To carry out an insertion, said primer must have the DNA fragment in addition to being able to hybridize the DNA.
