If the medical assistant noted irregularities in the heart rate when palpating the radial pulse, they would opt to take a patients apical pulse for a full minute to make sure they are accurately counting the number of heartbeats per minute.

How does capillary action help sustain life on earth? Uptake of food and water by plants Change in climates Water strider walkin
frez [133]
Capillary action is a combination of the adhesive and cohesive properties of water in which the water is able to move up a small tube against the pull of gravity. Therefore, the uptake of food and water is due to capillary action.

Change in climate has nothing to do with adhesion and cohesion in water. Some insects can walk on water due to surface tension, which is due to cohesion. However, there is no movement upward through a tube with surface tension, and so it is not an example of capillary action.

Hope this helps! :)

When DNA replication occurs before meiosis, the original DNA strand CAG CCG TAG is copied into complementary strand GTC ACA GGC
dedylja [7]
<span>The correct answer is B. Insertion. In this particular insertion there is an insert of three bases. Complementary strands in DNA are the opposite strand, so Adenine is coupled to Thymine and Guanine is coupled to Cytosine. So the complementary sequence (also called the antisense strand) of the original would be GTC GGC ATC, there's an extra 3 bases in there: ACA.</span>
