The right answer is B

A radiotracer is an entity composed of a carrier molecule and a detectable radioactive isotope using devices such as gamma cameras or positron emission tomography.

A radiotracer is either a radioactive isotope alone or the combination of a molecule and a radioactive isotope. In this case, it is said that the molecule is labeled by the radioactive isotope.

A radioactive isotope is an atom whose nucleus, unstable, emits radiation. It could be :

- alpha radiation consisting of two protons and two neutrons.

- a beta radiation consisting of a negative electron (beta) or a positive electron (beta +, positron).

- a gamma radiation consisting of a high energy photon.

SVEN [57.7K]

The client with right sided hemiparesis has limited mobility because the mobility of the skin is due to change in position of the skin and the tissues that are underlying it.  

The nurse will move each joint through its range of movement which will improve the mobility of the joints. Adequate hydration is also required to maintain the integrity of the skin.

Massage also helps in restoring the circulation of that particular area.

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

In biomes the species community undergoes certain changes in evolution and growth in order to reach the climax.

Explanation:

  • An alternative stable state is one which suggests the discrete states are sperate by an ecological threshold and in opposition to the ecosystem that is changing and thereby stating that the ecosystem can exist in a variety of alternative state.  
  • The first species after origin grows develops and then declines. This community of species may be disturbed in middle such as by a fire or flood and forms the secondary community which is more diamine and resistant. The changes are known as seres in biomes.

Differentiate between the chromosome theory of inheritance and the gene chromosome Theory
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The Chromosomal Theory of inheritance, proposed by Sutton and Boveri, states that chromosomes are the vehicles of genetic heredity. Neither Mendelian genetics nor gene linkage is perfectly accurate; instead, chromosome behavior involves segregation, independent assortment, and occasionally, linkage.
