Answer:
b. newborn screening (either assaying for the GALT enzyme or measuring excess galactose in the newborn’s blood).
Explanation:
Neonatal screening is a preventive action that allows the diagnosis of various asymptomatic congenital or infectious diseases in the neonatal period in time to interfere with the course of the disease, thus allowing the institution of specific early treatment and the reduction or elimination of the disease. sequelae associated with each disease.
In the case of Jane and John's neonatal screening, the objective is to verify whether the child inherited (or would inherit) the galactose allele. This would be done by testing the enzyme GALT or by measuring excess galactose in the newborn's blood.
Fossils could not be found in that layer of rock
Monera is a kingdom that includes unicellular creatures like bacteria that have prokaryotic cell arrangement, which lacks a nuclear membrane. Monera are intricate living molecules that are around 1 micron in size. The majority of Monera cells are unicellular, while some organisms form groups or filaments.
the very basic properties of water
conducts heat
neutral pH
high surface tension
high specific heat
good solvent
how does this help a polar bear, some of it is a stretch but possible benefits
pH - good drinking water, good for marine ecosystem for food
high specific heat - can absorb lots of heat before the temperature rises, polar bears exist naturally in cold environments. (ice) - maybe can tie this in with the natural hibernation cycle
high surface tension - I'm assuming the polar bear walks on the ice at times to get fish
as a good solvent - its probably good that most things dissolve in water, otherwise we would have a lot of floating gunk on top of the water
outside of this, can't give you much more. it has been noted in Shishmaref Village that the ice caps melting is leading to a lack of water in higher mountain areas and polar bears are coming down from the mountain ice cap areas to find food and water
