Answer:

Kussmaul respirations indicates the condition of acidosis and diabtetes ketoacidosis

Explanation:

Kussmaul respiration refers to the labored and deep breathing pattern. Adolph kussmaul introduced the term Kussmaul respiration.

This respiration refers to the form of hyperventilation in which the amount of carbon dioxide is decreased in the blood. The metabolic acidosis alters the normal pattern of breathing and results in rapid and shallow breathing. The Kussmaul respiration is most common in ketoacidosis.

You have conducted an Ames test on a given compound. Which of the following would be classified as a positive result on the Ames

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (D) "His- strain grows on an his- plate".

Explanation:

The Ames test is a procedure that allows to detect if a given compound can cause mutations on a tested organism by growing strains of bacteria that require histidine (His-) to growth, since they are not able to produce its own histidine. In the Ames test, the bacteria is exposed to a given compound and is grown in a medium with small amount of histidine (his- plate). If the His- strain grows on a his- plate, it means that the bacteria has mutated to synthesize its own histidine and it is considered as a positive result on a the Ames test.

The appearance of a pebbly texture on the surface of a deep wound indicates what process is taking place?

irakobra [83]

In a deep wound, there might be a few layers of tissue that need to be rebuilt because they were lost. In this rebuilding process this pebbly texture can be seen and it indicates that granulation is taking place (that's the process). Granulation is when small blood vessels and capillaries start to develop vertically to the outside part of the wound, being supported by connective tissue, and surrounded by cells of many other types for different purposes, such as immunitary functions or specialised tissue functions. This tissue growing is characteristic of healing and it presents this granulated/pebbly texture to it.

Species a diverged from species b 60,000 years ago. On a particular gene, they have 15 nucleotide differences. How many nucleoti

a_sh-v [17]

The given question says that b species diverged around 60,000 year ago from species a. Since the divergence, they have a nucleotide difference of 15 nucleotide.

We need to find out the nucleotide difference in another 240,000 year, which means a total of 300,000 year since divergence.

The nucleotide difference in 60,000 years = 15 nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 1 year = $\frac{15}{60,000}$ nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 300,000 years = $\frac{15}{60,000}\times 300,000$ nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 300,000 years = 75 nucleotide.

Hence, after another 240,000 years or 300,000 years since divergence, the species and species b would show a difference of 75 nucleotide.

In another 240,000 years, there would be 60 nucleotide difference, as 15 of the nucleotide are already different in initial 60,000 years from the total of 75 nucleotide difference in 300,000 years. So, 60 (75-15) nucleotide difference would be observed in next 240,000 years.
