The patient can be subjected to intraoperative cholangiography wherein a stent in the bile duct will be placed and a radiopaque dye will be injected. X-rays will be taken. This is to locate the level of obstruction and to confirm if there is a common bile duct obstruction. In extracting stones, the surgeon can prefer doing an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography or ERCP and perform basket extraction of the common bile duct stone; or to surgically remove the sphincter of Oddi to allow easy passage of the stones.
The higher biodiversity in an ecosystem means that there is a greater variety of genes and species in that ecosystem. A great variety of genes and species means that the ecosystem is better able to carry out natural processes in the face of external stress. Thus, the ecosystem is more sustainable.
Answer:
The subphylum Chelicerata (New Latin, from French chélicère, from Greek χηλή, khēlē "claw, chela" and κέρας, kéras "horn")[1] constitutes one of the major subdivisions of the phylum Arthropoda. It contains the sea spiders, arachnids (including scorpions, spiders, and potentially horseshoe crabs[2]), and several extinct lineages, such as the eurypterids.
Answer:
This question is incomplete as it lacks options. However, it can be answered based on general knowledge of the DNA structure.
Hydrogen bonds in a DNA are located between the nucleotides that holds the double stranded DNA molecules.
Explanation:
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material in living cells. The DNA molecule is made up of nucleotides monomers. However, since the DNA molecule is double-stranded, the nucleotides are of two chains composed of four nucleotide subunits viz: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C).
The two chains of nucleotides in a DNA molecule are called strands. Each strand is bonded to one another by the nucleotides using complementary base pairing i.e. A-T, G-C. The bonds between the nucleotidew of each strand is called HYDROGEN BOND.
Hence, HYDROGEN BONDS in a DNA molecule is located in between two nucleotides of each strand. That is, hydrogen bond holds Adenine to Thymine and Guanine to Cytosine.
