(1)

Troposphere – This is the densest layer and where weather events occur

Stratosphere – This is where the ozone layer is found. Some high altitude aircraft cruise in this layer.

Mesosphere – Temperatures drop with altitude in this layer

Thermosphere – This is where most of the meteorites that enter the earth’s atmosphere burn up. This layer takes up most of the Uv and X-rays from the sun. Most satellites orbiting earth are in this layer

Exosphere – almost akin to space due to the thinness of the layer. Molecules in the layer often escape into space

(2)

A ‘pause’ is a transition between the above-mentioned distinct layers. The tropopause, for example, occurs between the troposphere and the stratosphere and the stratopause between the stratosphere and mesosphere and thermopause is found between thermosphere and exosphere.

(3)

A temperature inversion is a rise in temperatures with altitude in a layer in the atmosphere. One layer exhibiting temperature inversion is the stratosphere. This is due to the ozone layer that absorbs UV light. The upper ozone absorbs most of the UV light, than lower ozone, exciting the molecules and making the higher altitudes in the layer to be warmer.

(4)

The ozone layer protects life on earth from the high energy UV radiation from the sun. UV is capable of causing double-stranded break on DNA resulting in genetic mutations on organisms. Most of these would be lethal. The Ozone absorbs most of the UV before it reaches earth's surface. Ozone is formed when an oxygen molecule reacts with another oxygen atom to form an O₃. The oxygen atoms are made from the splitting of an oxygen molecule by UV light.

Barred feather pattern is a Z-linked dominant trait in chickens. What offspring would you expect from (a) the cross of a barred
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Let the "barred" allele be caller B and the "non-white" allele b. Since chickens use chromosomes Z  and W to determine sex, hens would have chromosomes ZW, and roosters would have chromosomes ZZ. A Z-linked gene is represented as a superscript on the Z chromosome, Z^{B} for the dominant allele and Z^{b} for the ressesive allele.

A barred hen would have a copy of B on its Z chromosome, a non-barred rooster would have both copies of b on both Z chromosomes. Using Punnet squares to represent the crosses we get the following cases:

\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ |c|c|c|c| }\ & Z^{B} & W \\ \ Z^{b} & Z^{B}Z^{b} & Z^{b}W \\ \ Z^{b} & Z^{B}Z^{b} & Z^{b}W \\ \end{tabular}\end{center}

That is a ratio of two barred heterozygote roosters to two non-barred hens. Crossing them we get:

\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ |c|c|c|c| }\ & Z^{b} & W \\ \ Z^{B} & Z^{B}Z^{b} & Z^{B}W \\ \ Z^{b} & Z^{b}Z^{b} & Z^{b}W \\ \end{tabular}\end{center}

That is a ratio of one barred heterozygote rooster to one barred hen to one non-barred rooster to one non barred hen.

Which test should be performed for patient with suspected stroke within 25 minutes of arrival?
anzhelika [568]

The answer is a neurologic assessment by the stroke team should be performed within 25 minutes of arrival. Neurologic assessment is the examination of sensory neuron and motor responses, especially reflexes, to know whether the nervous system is compromised. The following actions are undertaken:

<span>-      </span>Review the patient's history, including past medical history.

<span>-      </span>Perform a physical exam.

<span>-      </span>Begin last known well if not already done.

<span>-      </span>Execute a neurological exam to assess patient's status using the NIHSS or the Canadian Neurological Scale.

<span>-       </span><span>The CT scan should be accomplished within 25 minutes from the patient's arrival in the Emergency Depatment and should be read within 45 minutes.</span>
