Answer: Monitor the site dressing and vital signs.

Explanation:

The bone marrow is the soft tissue inside bones that helps form blood cells. It is made up of a liquid part and a more solid part. And it is found in the hollow part of most bones. The bone marrow is

The biopsy and bone marrow aspiration are usually done at the same time. Together, these two procedures may be called a bone marrow study.

Marrow aspiration is the removal of a small amount of this tissue in liquid form for testing. Bone marrow biopsy and bone marrow aspiration are procedures that allow samples of bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside some of the longer bones) to be removed and tested. In a bone marrow biopsy, the doctor uses a needle to remove a sample of the solid part. In a bone marrow aspiration, a needle is used to remove a sample of the liquid part.

Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy may indicate whether the bone marrow is healthy and producing normal amounts of blood cells. Doctors use these procedures to diagnose and monitor blood and marrow diseases, such as some cancers and fevers of unknown origin. After the procedure, it is important to control the wound so that it does not become infected, and to monitor vital signs.

The origin of congenital adrenal hyperplasia occurs when circulating cortisol levels

LuckyWell [14K]

The origin of congenital adrenal hyperplasia occurs when circulating cortisol levels are low.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disease which results from mutations of genes for enzymes involved in the biochemical steps of production of mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids or sex steroids from cholesterol by the adrenal glands (steroidogenesis). Low cortisol production results in rising levels of ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) because cortisol usually inhibits ACTH production. This increased ACTH production induces overgrowth (hyperplasia) and overactivity of the steroid-producing cells of the adrenal cortex.

A wild-type tomato plant (Plant 1) is homozygous dominant for three traits: solid leaves (MM), normal height (DD), and smooth sk

Brut [27]

Answer: In this type of cross between MmDdPp and mmddpp, the phenotypic ratios in the eight possible phenotypes are as follow; a. solid, normal, smooth = 1:8

b. solid, normal, peach = 1:8

c. solid, dwarf, smooth = 1:8

d. solid, dwarf, peach = 1:8

e. mottled, normal, smooth = 1:8

f. mottled, normal, peach = 1:8

g. mottled, dwarf, smooth = 1:8

h. mottled, dwarf, peach = 1:8

Explanation: The number of gametes that can be formed from a particular genotype is given as 2^n where n is the number of heterozygous loci. In the genotype MmDdPp, n = 3. Therefore, 8 gametes can be formed.

In genotype mmddpp, n = 0. Therefore, only one type of gamete can be formed.

Crossing the two genotype (MmDdPp and mmddpp) as shown in the attached image, 8 possible offsprings can be achieved. Phenotypes of these offspring had been stated earlier. The phenotypic frequency of each of these offspring is one out of eight (⅛).
