Answer:

The harmful effects of radiations emitted from radioactive waste on health of all people living in the town and accidental leakage of radioactive material.

Explanation:

The radioactive waste emits radiations which can cause mutations resulting in various health disorders. Cancer is one of the most common diseases caused due to mutations stimulated by radioactive emissions.

The accidental leakage of radioactive material and radioactive waste could cause many harmful effects on the health of herself, her family and all other people in the town.

What specific changes in rachel’s muscle cells and kidney function are leading to elevated plasma k levels?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Intracellular Potassium Shifts and Impaired Potassium Excretion leads to elevated plasma K levels.

What is Hyperkalemia?

  • Hyperkalemia, a potentially lethal condition, develops when serum potassium levels rise above 5.5 mmol/l.
  • Potassium is the most common intracellular cation and is crucial for many physiological functions, at a concentration of 100-150 mmol/l. The digestive system quickly and usually fully absorbs potassium.

Causes:

  • Increased Potassium intake: In adult patients with normal renal function, increased dietary potassium intake is a very rare cause of hyperkalemia, but it can be a significant factor in people with kidney disease.
  • Intracellular Potassium Shifts: Large amounts of intracellular potassium can be released into the extracellular area as a result of cellular damage. Excessive activity, rhabdomyolysis after a crush injury, or other hemolytic processes can all be to responsible for this. 
  • Impaired Potassium Excretion: The most frequent cause of hyperkalemia is acute or chronic renal disease. Hyperkalemia may also result from tubular dysfunction brought on by aldosterone insufficiency or insensitivity.

If there are 10 chromosomes in a particular cell at the start of prophase how many will be present in the same cell at the end o
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

20 chromosomes

Explanation:

Mitosis is a kind of cell division that results in daughter cells with same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It involves stages including Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase. In prophase, the Chromatin condenses into Chromosomes.

In Anaphase stage, the 10 chromosomes as mentioned in the question divides into opposite poles of the cell. One individual chromosome contains two sister chromatids, which actually separates in the Anaphase stage. Hence, at the end of the Anaphase stage, there will be 10 chromatids each at opposite poles of the cell. Each chromatid at this stage is considered a chromosome.

Hence, a cell with 10 chromosomes will contain 20 chromosomes (10+10 chromatids on each pole) in the Anaphase stage just before the cell divides into two in a process called CYTOKINESIS.
