Agonal gasps are not normal breathing and may be present in the first minutes after sudden cardiac arrest.
It can sound like a snore with somehow long intervals between one gasp and another as it usually occurs at slow rates.

Answer:

The organism previously used 15N for replication so all the DNA molecules were of 15N15N type. Then the organism is shifted to a medium where only 14N is available for replication.
According to semi conservative mode of replication, a newly synthesised DNA molecule consists of one new strand and one parental strand. So after the first round of replication, All the 15N strands will synthesise new DNA strands using 14N resulting into intermediate 15N14N DNA molecules. Hence, only one band would be observed (15N14N) above the original 15N15N band since 15N14N has lighter isotope too so it will be lighter than 15N15N molecules and will lie above it.
After second round of replication, 15N strand from 15N14N would synthesise another 14N strand. 14N strand from 15N14N molecules will also synthesise another 14N strand. So now, 50% of the DNA molecules will be of 15N14N intermediate type and 50% of them will be of 14N14N type.Two bands will be observed above the original 15N15N band. One band of 15N14N molecules will be right above it and other band of 14N14N molecules will be even higher because it is the lightest band since it has only the lighter isotope of nitrogen.

The major disadvantage of a blood-brain barrier is that ____.

aalyn [17]

The answer is a certain required chemicals must be actively transported. Blood brain barrier is a selective membrane that separates blood circulating from the brain and the fluid of extracellular in the central nervous system. This is also called a filtering mechanism, the capillaries that carry blood to the brain and spinal cord tissue blocking the path way of the certain substance.
