gias and was sexually active with a new partner 10 days ago. He denies any penile discharge or dysuria. There is no inguinal adenopathy palpated on exam, but he has tender penile lesions, revealed in the image seen above. Which of the following is most likely to be an effective treatment?

Answer:

A. Acyclovir PO

Explanation:

This is a patient with a primary herpes infection, characterized by a low-grade fever; myalgias; and multiple painful, shallow, tender, genital lesions. These typically follow a 2-7-day incubation period. Patients often do not have adenopathy until the 2nd or 3rd week of illness. Lesions last for 2-4 weeks. Treatment is acyclovir to reduce the duration of symptoms and viral shedding.

Ceftriaxone (B) is one of several treatment regimens for chancroid. Although chancroid also presents with painful genital ulcers, 50% of patients also develop a large unilateral, fluctuant lymph node (bubo) 1 week after the ulcers appear. It is often difficult to differentiate herpes from chancroid on exam. However, herpes is orders of magnitude more common in the United States; most cases of chancroid occur in developing countries. There are usually fewer than 100 cases of chancroid reported to the CDC annually. Therefore, in patients such as this one, herpes should be of primary consideration, and acyclovir is more likely to be an effective treatment. Doxycycline (C) is used to treat lymphogranuloma venereum. However, lesions are painless and often go unnoticed. Patients often present in the secondary stage following the disappearance of genital lesions, when they develop painful lymphadenitis. Penicillin (D) would be the appropriate treatment for syphilis. However, the incubation period is typically longer and primary lesions (chancres) are painless with raised edges.

If you have a DNA sequence that codes for a protein and is 105 nucleotides long. A framshift mutation occurs at the <img src="ht
katrin [286]

Answer:

28 amino acids

Explanation:

When you have a frameshift mutation means that the protein will no longer be complete due to a signal of stop or another start signal in the sequence. The protein will not be the same as before the mutation occurs. If a sequence is 105 nucleotides long means that the amino acids that comprise the protein are 35 (each amino acid comes from a combination of 3 nucleotides, 105/3=35). When a mutation occurs in 85th base there are 20 bases that do not work well or that will not be correct (105-85=20). So, when you don't take into account those 20 bases, the sequence will be correct until 84th base pair, and, as the amino acids come from a mix of 3 bases 84/3=28.

Because we know that 15% of the population does not have the allele we can assume that at least 85% of the population has at least on copy of the dominant allele.

Gennadij [26K]
The answer is <span>fitness; directional.

The longer beaked robin's are having more offspring, compared to the shorter beaked robins, because they are more fit in that environment. That's probably due to the type of seeds that exist in the environment. That fitness is directional because there is</span><span> a phenotype that is favored over other phenotypes.</span>
