<span>This is a case of benzodiazepine overdose from Alprazolam (Xanax). Benzodiazepine overdose presents mostly with inhibition of the central nervous system including the brainstem (hence explaining the decreased respiratory rate and somnolence) as well as systemic effects such as decrease in heart rate and in blood pressure. The antidote for benzodiazepine overdose is Flumenazil<span> which is a selective benzodiazepine receptor antagonist and prevent further binding and action of the administrated benzodiazepine. </span></span>

Lena [83]

Answer:

you expect to see that 75% of your F2 generation rabbits have floppy ears and 25% of your rabbits have black fur.

Explanation:

<u> Available data:</u>

  • Two true-breeding groups of rabbits.
  • The first group has floppy ears and white fur.
  • The second group has straight ears and black fur.
  • 100% of the F1 generation has floppy ears and gray fur.
  • Each of these traits is determined by a single gene and undergo independent assortment.

Having this information we can infer that floppy years, expressed by F allele, might be dominant over straight ears, expressed by f allele. And that the fur color is affected by incomplete dominance, being B the allele expressing black color, b the allele expressing white color and Bb the genotype for grey color.

Incomplete dominance is a condition where neither of the alleles completely dominates over the other one. Descendents possess an intermediate phenotype between the two parental phenotypes and not the dominant one.

      25% of the progeny have straight ears, ff

<u>Cross for the fur color traits</u>:

Gametes) B   b     B    b

     50% of the progeny have grey fur, Bb

      25% of the progeny have white fur, bb

How does glucose and amino acids get to the cell
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

These cells use active-transport systems in the apical domains of their plasma membranes to take up dietary sugars and amino acids from the lumen of the intestine. The uptake of glucose, for example, is carried out by a transporter that coordinately transports two Na+ and one glucose into the cell
