Answer:

By translocation of chromosome 9 and chromosome 22.

Explanation:

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a type of blood cancer, which leads to increased production of immature lymphocytes.

This condition can arise due to translocation between chromosome 9 and chromosome 22. During this, ABL1 gene of chromosome 9 and BCR gene of chromosome 22 fuse together and Philadelphia chromosome.

Fusion gene made from ABL1-BCR represents an oncogene, which codes for a mutated protein. This protein causes impaired DNA binding with uncontrolled cell division that can cause cancer.

Thus, the correct answer is 'translocation.'

The most recent blood work of a client with a diagnosis of heart failure indicates increased levels of atrial natriuretic peptid
kipiarov [429]

Optiosn are not provided in the question. The complete question s as following:

The most recent blood work of a client with a diagnosis of heart failure indicates increased levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). What are the most likely effects of these peptides on the patient's physiology?

A. Water retention

B. Increased tubular sodium reabsorption

C. Counteracting the effects of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system

D. Sympathetic nervous stimulation

Answer:

C. Counteracting the effects of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system

Explanation:

Atrial and ventricular volume / pressure expansion trigger the production of  atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and  brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) which are endogenously produced peptides.

The ANP and BNP plasma levels increase according to the extent of the heart failure. Myocardial stretching is a key factor in stimulating ANP and BNP secretion, while neurohumoral factors also play a role in the secretion process.

Natriuresis, Vasodilatation and activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) and sympathetic nervous systems are the main physiological effects of ANP and BNP; both of which are expected to prevent the development of heart failure.

Hence, the correct option is C.
