Inessa [10]3 years ago

Answer:

E. The author of the health record suspects that a clot is blocking a blood vessel in the patient's calf and has prescribed a drug that will prevent the blood from clotting.

Explanation:

  • Septicemia is a bacterial infection in the blood. According to the report, the patient will continue to receive IV antibiotics.
  • Anemia is a deficiency of hemoglobin or red blood cells. Coagulopathy is the impairment of blood coagulation. This is a bleeding disorder characterized by excess, uncontrolled bleeding.
  • Thrombocytopenia is characterized by a deficiency of platelets, leading to decreased coagulation.
  • Thromboembolism is the blockage of blood vessels due to the dislodging of a blood clot.
  • Hyperbilirubinemia is the excess of bilirubin in the blood due to reduced liver function.

The option E states correctly that the patient has thromboembolism, leading to swelling of the calf. However, the doctor has not yet prescribed a medication. The report states that a medication will be prescribed after a hematology/oncology consultation.

The frequency of a lethal allele in a population is greatest when it is: Group of answer choices dominant manifested in infancy
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

recessive

Explanation:

A lethal allele is a gene variant associated with a mutation in an essential gene, which has the potential to cause the death of an individual. In general, lethal genes are recessive because these alleles do not cause death in heterozygous individuals, which have one copy of the normal allele and one copy of the allele for the lethal disease/disorder. In recessive lethal diseases, heterozygous individuals are carriers of the recessive lethal allele and can eventually pass the 'defective' allele on to offspring even though they are unaffected; whereas dominant lethal diseases are caused by dominant lethal alleles, which only need to be present in one copy to be fatal. In consequence, the frequency of recessive lethal alleles is generally higher than dominant lethal alleles because they can be masked in carrier individuals. Some examples of human diseases caused by recessive lethal alleles include, among others, Tay-Sachs disease, sickle-cell anemia, and cystic fibrosis.
