Answer:

(B) semiconservative.

Explanation:

According to the model proposed by Watson and Crick, the DNA molecule consists of two polynucleotide chains arranged on a helix around an imaginary axis, rotating to the right (a double helix). That is, the DNA molecule is in the shape of a spiral staircase, in which the "steps" are made up of nucleotide nitrogen bases and the "handrails" are covalently linked phosphate and sugar - so it is said that DNA is shaped like a helical ribbon. Also according to Watson and Crick DNA replication is semi-conservative, because each strand of DNA will give rise to another strand that will be complementary to its nucleotides.

The term that describes that individuals understand themselves as being either male or female is called gender identity while the understanding that maleness and femaleness are biological and cannot change is gender constancy.

What type of nosocomial infection is likely to arise from intravenous catheterization?

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. Bacteremia

Explanation:

Nosocomial infection is a hospital-acquired infection. Intravenous catheterization is majorly used in hospitals for therapeutic purposes like drug administration, blood sampling, etc.

These catheters are one of the major causes of nosocomial bacteremia in patients. Bacteremia is the condition in which bacteria is present in the blood.

So these catheter can be contaminated with bacteria which came from a patient and when they are used in another patient without proper sterilization they can transfer these bacteria to other patients blood which then cause nosocomial bacteremia.
