There are not only one but two correct option, which are A and B.

DNA polymerases begin their synthesis at many points of initiation. Following the binding of specific proteins, the double helix opens to allow startup.

DNA synthesis begins on RNA / DNA primers consisting of primase and DNA polymerase a. The replication continues in one direction: in this sense one of the two strands of the DNA ("direct" strand) is traversed by the enzyme in the 3 '→ 5' direction, which allows the synthesis of another strand in the direction 5 '→ 3'. The DNA-ligases then provide the link between the different fragments of the new DNA.

The synthesis of the other strand ("delayed" strand) is more complex because the enzyme travels this strand from 5 '→ 3'. The primase and DNA polymerase α synthesize 30 nucleotide primers in front of the replication zone, and the DNA polymerase constructs small DNA fragments in the 5 '→ 3' direction (approximately 200 nucleotides; Okazaki). Ribonucleases destroy the RNA / DNA primers of the previous fragment and the fragments are then linked together by DNA ligase.

What would happen to the body if it did not produce enzymes that break down acetylcholine?

Morgarella [4.7K]

when the breaking down of acetylcholine is not performed, then symptoms similar to those of poisoning with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors would occur. This would be highly hazardous to the human system as severe poisoning as we all know is very lethal. Even a fetus would not develop with this.

the eastern kingbird hunts by catching flying insects in mid-air, an approach which requires impressive and energetic acrobatic

tangare [24]

It is safe to assume that the eastern kingbird will have a type 2 functional response to an increase in prey abundance.

The functional response, in ecology, is a data-based description of the behavior of certain animals' consumption rates in response to a change in prey density. This can be of three kinds:

Type 1: An increase in consumption
Type 2: A decrease in consumption
Type 3: Decreased consumption, followed by a quick increase.

The Eastern kingbird is likely to follow a type 1 functional response to the presence of more prey. The reason for this, aside from it being the most common response, is that the eastern kingbird consumes insects, which do not provide a great amount of energy, in a way that consumes much energy. Therefore it is logical to assume that the kingbird will consume more prey to better sustain its rigorous feeding habits.

777dan777 [17]

I think the priority action is to monitor Bowel movements.
Kayexalate causes potassium to be exchanged for sodium in the intestines and excreted through bowel movements. If the client does not have stools, the drug cannot work properly. Blood pressure and the urine output are not of primary importance. The nurse would already expect changes in T waves with hyperkalemia. Normal serum potassium is 3.5 to 5.5 mEq/L.
