Answer:

C)Obstructive shock

Explanation:

Obstructive shock is type of shock in which there is a physical obstruction of blood vessels or the obstruction of the heart. It can result from the inability to produce sufficient cardiac output, irrespective of the normal  functioning of the myocardium and intravascular volume. In other words, obstructive shock occurs when blood is not able to go where it is required to go.

One treatment used in treating this type of shock is to give the patient a sufficient amount of intravenous fluids and also drugs that will increase blood pressure to allow the flow of blood to oterparts of the body.

An example of obstructive shock is pulmonary embolism.

Therefore the client described above is at a risk of experiencing obstructive shock.

The forward and reverse PCR primers used for the amplification of a VNTR locus on chromosome number 4 are 20 bases and 21 bases
zimovet [89]

The repeats which occur together on a chromosome are referred to as VNTR. The length of each repeat is 60bp.

The first primer is 20bp and is 53 bp away from 1st repeat. Therefore, the total length of sequence amplified by the first primer till 1st repeat = 20+53 = 73bp. Beyond this point 6 repeats on 60 bp are present, hence, the length becomes = 73 + (60X6) = 433bp.

Now the reverse primer which is 21bp in length is located 28bp from the repeat on its side. Reverse primer comes from the opposite direction, so it must be present after the 6 repeats.

The total length of the amplified region = 433 + 28 + 21 = 482 bp.

Witch step of cellular respiration will not take place in the absence of oxygen
Over [174]

The answer is; glycolysis

This process converts glucose molecule to pyruvate. It is an oxygen-independent pathway, unlike the Krebs cycle. Glycolysis occurs in the cell cytoplasm while the Krebs cycle (aerobic pathway) occurs in the mitochondria. In the presence of oxygen, the product of glycolysis, i.e pyruvate, is fed to the Krebs cycle.  If oxygen is unavailable the pyruvate is converted to lactate.

Which of the following is a dihybrid cross?a. RrMM Rrmmb. RRMM rrmmc. RrMm RrMmd. rrMM RRmme. RrMm rrmm
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

c. RrMm x  RrMm

Explanation:

A dihybrid genotype is the one that is heterozygous for two genes. Hence, a dihybrid cross is a cross between two individuals that are hybrid for alleles of two different loci.

Among the given examples, the cross RrMm x RrMm is a dihybrid cross. Here, both given genotypes are heterozygous or hybrid for two loci (both genotypes have one dominant and one recessive allele for both the genes under study, R and r; M and m).

This cross explains the inheritance of two loci or two genetic traits. Hence, it is an example of dihybrid cross.
