) of body weight each day. In light of this information, approximately how much formula should the infant receive at each feeding?
a. 1 1 to 2 oz (30 to 60 mL)
b. 2 2 to 3 oz (60 to 90 mL)

Answer:

b. 2 2 to 3 oz (60 to 90 mL)

Explanation:

The answer would be 72.94 ml/times

In this problem, the infant is fed for every 4 hours.

Then, the frequency of feeding for a day would be: (24hours/day) / 4 (hours/times)= 6 times/ day.

The volume of feeding for a day that the infant need would be: 2722\times\frac{454}{73} = 473.68ml/day

The number of milk for every fed would be: (473.68ml/day)/ (6 times/day)=  72.94 ml/times

Hence option b seems most appropriate answer

Answer:

The correct answer is D. is a facultative anaerobe

Explanation:

A facultative anaerobe is the organisms that can live in the absence of oxygen but prefer to utilize the oxygen when oxygen is present in the environment.  

An anaerobic organism requires more amount of energy sources like carbohydrates because they use the fermentation process to make energy and this process results in the formation of less energy than aerobic respiration.  

All the bacteria of family Enterobacteriaceae that live in the intestine are facultative anaerobes. Therefore facultative anaerobe can thrive in both the presence and absence of oxygen so the correct answer is D. is a facultative anaerobe.

Adding an extra nucleotide to a dna sequence produces what type of mutation answers
timama [110]
The addition of an extra nucleotide to a DNA sequence produces a mutation that is called insertion. An insertion mutation can be in various sizes, from one nucleotide base pair to a section of one chromosome inserted into another. When one or more nucleotides are inserted into the genome, the processes of translation and transcription could be disrupted, resulting in altered protein synthesis.
