The health care provider would likely add A diuretic to the regimen to better control the client's hypertension. 
When losartan therapy is started, maximal effects on blood pressure usually occur within 3 to 6 weeks. If losartan alone does not control blood pressure, a low dose of a diuretic may be added. A combination product of losartan and hydrochlorothiazide is available.

What phenotypic ratio would you expect as a result of a test cross between a dihybrid organism and one that is homozygous recess
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

¼ or 25% will be dihybrid organisms, ¼ will be heterozygous at first locus and recessive homozygous at other locus , ¼ of them will be recessive homozygous at first locus and heterozygous at other locus, and ¼ of them will be homozygous recessive for alleles at two independent loci.

Explanation:

A dihybrid organism is one that is heterozygous at two different genetic loci. So if we name one gene with D and other gene with R, dihybrid organism will have genotype DdRr.

If we cross that organism with the one that is homozygous recessive for alleles at two independent loci ddrr:

P: DdRr  x ddrr

Which pair of statements correctly describes a way that the chromatin contributes to gene expression?
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Chromatin is responsible for gene expression.

Explanation:

Chromatin is responsible for gene expression because chromatin contains DNA that has all information about genes. chromatin controls the gene in order to form encoded products. DNA in chromatin send information to the RNA to produce specific types of proteins that are needed by the organisms for its growth and development so in that way the genes can be expressed in the organism.

By means of an example , explain how poaching leads to over utilisation of species.
Daniel [21]
Poaching refers to the illegal hunting of wild animals in violation of the laws which regulate hunting of wild animals. Over utilization refers to the exploitation of an animal to the point of extinction. Poaching activities include hunting and killing wild animals without licence, using illegal weapons to kill animals, killing animal out of season, etc. All these activities can lead to drastic reduction in the population of animal specie to the extent that the animals become extinct. A good example of an over utilized animal specie is passenger pigeon.
