Answer:  -2

Explanation:

Following the shell distribution oxygen has a 2.6. configuration and an electronic configuration of [He]2{ s }^{ 2 }2{ p }^{ 4 }.This means that oxygen has 6 valence electrons that can be used in chemical reactions . In-order to obey the octet rule  it has to gain 2 more electrons to have a  2.8 shell configuration.An electron gain is usually denoted by a negative sign whereas a loss is denoted by a positive sign.Hence the -2   charge on the ion it forms.

Answer:

1. Molecular evidence: similar proteins and genes found in closely related species, even if those genes are not used by an organism.

2. Fossil evidence: organisms changing form over time through the fossil record.

Direct observation. We can directly observe small-scale evolution in organisms

with short lifecycles (e.g., pesticide-resistant insects).

Peptide hormones are generated in the endoplasmic reticulum. Moreover, steroid hormones are generated in the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria.

<h3>What are peptide and steroid hormones?</h3>

Peptide hormones are hormones composed of amino acids, whereas steroid hormones are composed of lipids.

Peptide hormones are generated in the ER and then transported to the Golgi apparatus to be included in secretory vesicles for secretion.

Steroid hormones aren't stored in secretory vesicles and are transported by using serum proteins in the blood.

Alex787 [66]
The ICD-10-CM that should be reported is the O10.013. This is for pregnancies with pre-existing hypertension complicating the pregnancy in the third trimester. Since the patient is predisposed to pre-eclampsia from previous pregnancy and she is in her third trimester, the code to be used is O10.013.
