Answer:

The correct answer is A. autosomal recessive

Explanation:

In an autosomal disease, the mutation occurs in the autosomal chromosome, not in the sex chromosome. In autosomal recessive disease if both the defected allele from parent comes in the child then only the child would be affected by the disease. If the offspring have single defected allele than he is said to be a carrier.

So as the defect is not in sex chromosome the disease will occur in the same frequency in both the sexes and if parents are carriers which means they are not affected by disease than 25% offspring can have the disease because out of four offspring one can get both the defected allele, one from each parent. So the correct answer is A.

A patient has taken levodopa [Dopar] for Parkinson's disease for 2 weeks but reports no improvement in the symptoms. Which respo
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Option-D

Explanation:

Parkinson's diseases are a neural disorder which affects the movement of the human body. The disease is caused by the low production or no production of dopamine by the neurons which thus interfere with the impulse transfer and thus movement.

In the given question, the patient with Parkinson's disease is provided with levodopa but no improvement is observed therefore the prescriber must change the drug regimen, for example, the levodopa should be given in combination with carbidopa. These medications enter the blood-brain barrier and get converted to the dopamine.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.
