The correct answer is delirium.
The Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) is a psychiatric tool used to assess and identify delirium in patients. According to the first observations and the patient's responses to CAM, the nurse can conclude that the patient exhibits signs of delirium. This is because he is unable to concentrate and organize his thinking, he is inattentive, he is lethargic and all these behaviours are sudden and acute. These symptoms cannot be associated with dementia, as dementia develops gradually and doesn't affect attention and consciousness. Also, the symptoms don't point to depression since depressive patients are focused and attentive. Finally, the nurse cannot conclude that the patient is dehydrated because further tests need to be conducted to assess hydration.

For two autosomal dominant genes, what is the probability that a cross between two heterozygotes (i.e. AaBb x AaBb) will produce
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

1 in 16

Explanation:

When two heterozygotes (AaBb x AaBb) for two autosomal genes are crossed the expected probability for the offspring is 9 A-B-, 3 A-bb, 3 aaB- and 1 aabb. In other words, out of sixteen offspring, 9 are expected to be dominant on both genes (either homozygous AA or BB or heterozygous Aa or Bb), 3 are expected to be dominant on the A gene but recessive on the b gene, 3 are expected to be recessive on the a gene but dominant on the A gene, and only 1 is expected to be recessive on both genes aabb.

prisoha [69]

Answer:

B. Oncogene

Explanation:

A gene that makes the body cells to divide in an uncontrolled manner is called an oncogene. An oncogene is responsible for the development of tumors due to disturbed regulation of cell division. The gene src makes the cells to enter the process of cell division in response to the growth factors.

However, the mutant src gene does not require the presence of growth factors and signals the cells to enter the process of cell division even in the absence of the growth factors. Since the mutant src gene causes uncontrolled cell division, it represents an oncogene.
