A 56-year-old woman presents to her doctor's office complaining of gradually progressive, nonpainful enlargement of the terminal

joint on her left hand over a 9-month period. She has some stiffness with typing but not first thing in the morning. She also reports pain in her right knee, which occasionally "locks up." The right knee also hurts after long walks. On examination, her blood pressure is 130/85 mm Hg, heart rate is 80 bpm, and weight is 285 lb. Examination reveals only a nontender enlargement of her left distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint, and the right knee is noted to have crepitus and slightly decreased range of motion. There is no redness or swelling.

Answer:

The patient is suffering from the obesity. She might have joint disease and but no synovitis is diagnosed in her medical examination.

1) The next step is the determination of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate. This step measures the speed of the sediment of erythrocytes. The high sediment rate may be indication of the infection of the auto immune disease.

2) The most likely diagnosis of the patient is osteoarthritis.  This causes the condition of joint paints and affect the million of the people in the world.

3) The initial treatment might be given to the patient is NSAID (Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). These drugs are taken to remove the pain and generally prescribed to the medical condition of the patient of arthritis.

Explain and illustrate how the long-term survival
Alisiya [41]

Answer and Explanation:

When there is limitation to resurces, there are behavioural activities that organisms perform like clustering, coiling, burrowing, migration, hibernation and aestivation.

Migration is seen in many homoitherms where there is movement over long distances to avoid unfavourable climatic factors and food shortage. During cold weather, large mammals survive by hibernating. They go into deep sleep and metabolic rate falls to the minimum required for maintaining the vital activities of the cells.

Answer the following questions
shusha [124]

Answer:

a) The equation describes the  relationship between p and q is p + q = 1 for allelic frequencies

b) The frequencies of alleles A1 in decimals is 0.7 and in percents is 70%.

The frequencies of alleles A2 in decimals is 0.3 and in percents is 30%.

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg, the allelic frequencies in a locus are represented as p and q, referring to the allelic dominant or recessive forms. The genotypic frequencies after one generation are p² (Homozygous dominant), 2pq (Heterozygous), q² (Homozygous recessive). Populations in H-W equilibrium will get the same allelic frequencies generation after generation. The sum of these allelic frequencies equals 1, this is p + q = 1.

In the same way, the sum of genotypic frequencies equals 1, this is

p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1

Being

  • p the dominant allelic frequency,
  • q the recessive allelic frequency,
  • p²the homozygous dominant genotypic frequency
  • q² the homozygous recessive genotypic frequency
  • 2pq the heterozygous genotypic frequency

In the exposed example,

  • A1 codes for purple leaves, has a frequency of 0.7 and is dominant.
  • A2 codes for white leaves, has a frequency of 0.3 and is recessive.

According to this equation: p + q = 1.

                                             0.7 + 0.3 = 1

A1A1= p²= 0.7² = 0.49

A2A2= q² = 0.3² = 0.09

A1A2 = 2pq = 2 x 0.7 x 0.3 = 0.42

According to this equation: p² + 2pq + q² = 1

                                             0.49 + 0.42 + 0.09 = 1

  • The frequencies of alleles A1 in decimals is 0.7 and in percents is 70%.
  • The frequencies of alleles A2 in decimals is 0.3 and in percents is 30%.

slega [8]

Answer:

DNA is a genetic molecule

Explanation:

Though both the nucleic acids can act as genetic material, DNA is much more preferred. DNA is stable both chemically and structurally which make it well-built genetic material.
