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.

If you look at the karyotypes of person a and person b and discover that they look alike, what can you infer is the same about t
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

They belong to the same species

Explanation:

A karyotype is an image of the chromosomes of a cell usually taken by an atomic microscope in a cell arrested in the prophase stage of mitosis –because the chromatin is well condensed.

It is difficult to discern the difference between individuals of the same species using karyotype unless in exceptions of chromosomal disorders like Klinefelter's syndrome and Turners syndrome, and etcetera.

However different species will most likely differ in the number of chromosomes, the chromosomal sizes and their arms lengths.
