Answer:

Explanation:

Pericentric inversion results in chromosome have extra copies of some genes while some genes do not have copies. It can result in slow growth rate.

If a man is heterozygous of pericentric and a woman is heterozygous of pericentric although they do not show symptoms there is 25% chance that their offspring will have it and 50% chance of them being a carrier.

T t × T t will give TT T t T t t t

If the father is not heterozygous of it but the mother is heterozygous they have 0% chance of having it and 50% chance of being heterozygous a carrier of the disorder

During a routine prenatal care visit, a pregnant woman in her last trimester of pregnancy reports that she has occasional shortn
Gala2k [10]
Shortness of breath is very common in the last trimester of pregnancy. This is because, the baby inside the uterus is growing and it starts to push the uterus that compresses the lungs above the diaphragm. This, leads to restricted expansion of the lungs while breathing and causes shortness of breath. Another reason for shortness of breath can be due to low iron content in the body.
If a pregnant woman in her last trimester reports occasional shortness of breath, the nurse should instruct her to:
1. take deep breath and start doing prenatal yoga
2. sleep on the left hand side
3. practicing good posture and standing straight
4. relax as much as possible

Write a paragraph about why stem cells are a bad thing.PLZ NO PLADURISM
sdas [7]
Stem cells are very controversial for several reasons. Mainly, because stem cells need to be harvested from Embryos, which raises a huge ethical debate as to weather the (scientifically speaking, alive) embryo harvesting is not cruel and twisted, as these are human beings that are being used. Another ethical issue is that it is related to human cloning, and often times stem cells are mislabeled. Not to mention that there is an argument for the idea of cloning humans to be used for limb replacement, throwing everybody in a tizzy. Overall, one of the greatest medical acheivements of recent years has lots of issues that haunt it.
