The correct answer is option A) The DNA in one species of bacteria can be exchanged with an unlike species of bacteria.

Phylogenetic trees are very helpful in tracing lineages and categorizing the animals on the basis of their genetic makeup so that evolutionary relationships between organisms may be established. The DNA of one species of bacteria can be exchanged with an unlike species of bacteria by a process known as horizontal gene transfer. Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is also known as lateral gene transfer. In HGT, the transfer of DNA does not occur through lateral gene transfer like in case of transfer of DNA from parents to progenies. We consider parents as the most closely related to the progenies because their DNA is more or less same as that of progenies. But in HGT, a bacteria can transfer its genes to a totally unrelated strain of bacteria  via conjugation, transformation or transduction. Since the DNA is being incorporated to an unrelated strain, in a phylogenetic tree the unrelated strain will show up as a related strain to the bacteria from which is has received the DNA through HGT even though it is unrelated. This is how it will create hurdle in tracing lineages and classifying bacteria.

Which conditions are most favorable for the formation of radiation fog?
stich3 [128]
The conditions which are most favorable for the formation of radiation fog are warm, moist air over low flat land areas,on clear, calm nights.
Radiation fog is most prevalent during the winter and fall; it usually forms overnight as the air closest air to the ground cool down. When the cooling makes the air to reach saturation point, radiation fog will formed.

Dynamic regulation is required for maintaining homeostasis.Explain how a cellular mechanism that regulates the quantity of a bio
Troyanec [42]

The homeostasis of the human body works like a machine set at a particular standard. If the factors deviate from the standard values, the homeostatic mechanism come into action.

For example, if a cell requires certain protein, the respective genes get a signal and get activated. The cell start synthesizing the protein and when sufficient amount is made, there is a feedback loop, which allows the same protein to stop the synthesis as well. A lot of organs and cellular systems are involved in regulating the synthesis of this protein.

This is similar to the cooling system. If we set the temperature of the cooling system to certain degree, it will start cooling the room till the required temperature is reached. As soon as the temperature is acquired, the system cut-off automatically and the required temperature is maintained.

A client is admitted with chest pain. a series of diagnostic tests are ordered, and the client undergoes coronary artery bypass
Nonamiya [84]

Answer;

Although the cost of care for this client was greater than the DRG reimbursement amount, the hospital will be reimbursed only at the set fee.

Explanation;

-A Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) is a statistical system of classifying any inpatient stay into groups for the purposes of payment.

-It divides possible diagnoses into more than 20 major body systems and subdivides them into almost 500 groups for the purpose of Medicare reimbursement.
