The answer is <span>Patients with hyperkalemia.

</span>Potassium-sparing diuretics are diuretic drugs that inhibit the secretion of potassium into the urine. Because of that, they raise potassium levels in the body.
People with hyperkalemia (higher amounts of potassium) can't take<span> potassium-sparing diuretic because it will make potassium levels even higher, making it a </span>risks for fatal arrhythmias.

Identify the phenotypes for the offspring of a parent with the genotype IBi and a parent with the genotype IAIA. type O type A,
agasfer [191]
 <span>I is dominant, i is recessive. The A's and B's are just show which allele I is. When there is just one dominant allele, it masks the recessive in blood typing. Remember IA and IB are codominant. 

O is always ii 
A is IAi (heterozygous) or IAIA (homozygous) 
B is IBi (heterozygous) or IBIB (homozygous) 
AB is always IAIB 

Remember: You get one allele from each parent! 

1. Father must be ii, mother must be ii, so all children must be ii. 

2. Father is IAIA (the homozygous one), the mother is IBIB, so the only possibility for the children is IAIB, because you get one allele from the father and one from the mother. 

3. Father is IAi, mother is IBi, so the children can be any of the blood types, because they can have all the combinations of genotypes. 

4. Father is ii, mother is IAIB. Children can only be IAi or IBi. 

5. Father is IAIB, mother is IAIB. Children can be IAIA, IBIB, or IAIB. 

Example of Punnett square: 
3. Father is type A, heterozygous, mother is type B, heterozygous 
Father must be IAi (heterozygous) 
Mother must be IBi (heterozygous) 

_______IA ____ i 

IB____ IBIA____IBi 

i _____ IAi______ii 

Sorry, that was difficult on here, hope it's understandable. 
The father's alleles run across the top, the mother's are on the side, you follow to where they meet to find the possibilities for the children. IBIA (AB blood type), IBi (B), IAi (A), and ii (O) are the possibilities in this case. 

Hope that helps!</span>

Apply what you know about lipids to explain why the cuticle helps prevent water loss in plants. Compare it to what humans do.
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

Waxy cuticle is a white powdery substance that is insoluble, it is found usually on the surface of stem or leave and it prevent excessive loss of water through transpiration.

It is an adaptive mechanism used in dry areas or desert to help plants retain water that is needed for their growth by reducing amount of water loss through transpiration.

Cactus is an example of plant with cuticle that thrive well in dry areas

Explain how geographic isolation can cause adaptations.
Temka [501]

Answer:

Change in an organism's environment forces the organism to adapt to fit the new environment, eventually causing it to evolve into a new species. ... Organisms become isolated as a result of environmental change. The cause of isolation can be gradual, like when mountains or deserts form, or continents split apart.

user100 [1]

Answer:

TAAGCCATGACATGATCG

Explanation:

Transcription is the process of transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA, typically to a messenger RNA (mRNA). During transcription, a particular DNA sequence called 'gene' is used as template to create an mRNA which is subsequently used to synthesize a protein by the process of translation. During this process (transcription), Uracil (U) bases pair with Adenine (A) and replace thymine (T) bases in RNA.
