Answer:
<em>This is an example of natural selection (adaptation).</em>
Explanation:
Natural selection tends to favor those organisms which are better adapted to live in an environment.
As tortoises having flat shell and long neck were better adapted to live in barren area, hence through natural selection those organisms were favored in such an ecosystem.
As tortoises that lived on the vegetative lands were more adapted to live in such an ecosystem, hence through natural ecosystem these organisms were favored and increased in numbers.
A nephron<span> is the basic unit of the kidneys and one of its functions is to filter substances in the blood and excreting urine. The correct order of where urine flows in a nephron is: </span><span>glomerulus, next to proximal convoluted tubule, then to loop of henle, then to distal convoluted tubule, lastly collecting duct. This process is important in homeostasis.</span>
Answer:
The correct answer will be option-A and B.
Explanation:
Transcription is a process which synthesizes a complementary molecule of DNA which acts a messenger called RNA.
The gene contains a sequence of the nucleotide at the beginning of gene called promoter sequence. The promoter sequence has the ability to attach an RNA synthesizing enzyme called RNA polymerase.
The RNA polymerase is the enzyme which synthesizes the RNA molecules using a single strand of DNA called template strand. RNA polymerase binds nucleotide at 3' end of the strand thus proceeding the strand in 5' to 3' direction.
The promoter and RNA polymerase begins the process of transcription and thus option-A and B is the correct answer.
Answer:
c. in renal dysfunction, dosage reduction is necessary to avoid seizures
Explanation:
Imipenem is an antibiotic which is given in combination with cilastatin. It is used to treat pneumonia, joint infections, urinary tract infections, sepsis etc. It kills bacteria by interfering with its cell wall formation process. It is metabolized in kidney reducing its half life so cilastatin is given with it to halt its renal metabolism.
Imipenem belongs to carbapenem family of antibiotics. Carbapenem antibiotics can cause seizures specially in people with nervous system disorders or renal failure. Dose must be reduced in patients with renal (kidney) dysfunction otherwise patient's kidneys will be damaged more and since they are already in weak state, it can prove dangerous to the patient.
