The correct answer is CPT code 66711.  

The CPT or Current Procedural Terminology code arrangement refers to a medical code set sustained by the AMA via the CPT editorial panel. Glaucoma refers to an array of disorders, which destruct the optic nerve of the eye and can lead to blindness and vision loss.  

Trabeculectomy refers to the surgery that comprises incision and repair of the iris and the ciliary body. The CPT code 66711 is reported, under destruction methods on the Iris, Ciliary body of the eye.

Meselson and Stahl's experiments proved that DNA replicates by which mode?
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Semi-conservative

Explanation:

Meselson–Stahl experiment proved that DNA replication is a semiconservative process, feeding E. colo bacteria with different types of Nitrogen isotopes (N14 and N15).

Changing the type of radioactive compound in different times of bacteria grow, they could observe that both of the isotopes were present on the bacteria culture.

Basically, if the bacteria present both of them, the DNA was replicated semiconcervely.

Guess what? they show both! (See the image for more information)

Why does physarum polycephalum branch out like a plant or fungus?
Olenka [21]

Answer:

Physarum first grows as single-celled amoebae, but the amoebae fuse, and the organism loses its 'cellular' makeup. As the organism continues to grow, nuclei divide without cell division. The resulting bag of nuclei is called a 'coenocyte' or 'plasmodium'.
