Positioning the child on the side (side-lying position) is the priority action after tonsiloectomy. It will permit the flow of secretions (like blood) from the mouth that could block the child's airway (airway patency is the priority). So, the most important thing is to maintain an open airway. Excessive coughing could actually trigger bleeding. The child will be on nothing-by-mouth status during the immediate postoperative period.

Arlecino [84]
<h2>Answer is option "C"</h2>

Explanation:

  • All in all, this procedure includes a "parent" cell parting into at least two "little girl" cells. Right now, parent cell can give its hereditary material from age to age.  
  • Meiosis, then again, is a particular type of cell division that happens in living beings that imitate explicitly. As referenced above, it produces regenerative cells, for example, sperm cells, egg cells, and spores in plants and parasites.  
  • In people, extraordinary cells called germ cells experience meiosis and at last offer ascent to sperm or eggs. Germ cells contain a total arrangement of 46 chromosomes (23 maternal chromosomes and 23 fatherly chromosomes). Before the finish of meiosis, the subsequent regenerative cells, or gametes, each have 23 hereditarily one of a kind chromosomes.
  • Hence, the right answer is option C "four strings, each a combination of different colors"

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

Human evolution in the hominid family occurred faster than between Chimpanzees and gorillas. Neutral mutations may result in sequence divergence between organisms that are structurally similar (in this case, chimpanzees and gorillas)

Explanation:

Human and chimpanzee share higher sequence identity than predicted in the hominid family since observed mutations are necessarily associated with functional divergence
