od testing reveals that the infant's unconjugated bilirubin level is 28 mg/dL, and assessment does not reveal neurologic deficits. The infant's weight is normal, and the mother claims to have had no significant difficulty feeding the infant. The most likely treatment for this infant will be:A)PhototherapyB)Packed red blood cell transfusionC)PhlebotomyD)Intravenous antibiotics

Answer: Phototherapy

Explanation:

As the infant is only 2 weeks old, the most appropriate technique used is the Phototherapy. As the condition is not that severe it can be cured by phototherapy.

Photo therapy is usually given to the children suffering from jaundice when they are born. This is a special type of light  that is not sunlight.

It is used in case of high bilirubin level.This light lowers the level of bilirubin levels in the baby's blood.

This process is basically photo oxidation in which the oxygen gets added to the bilirubin which helps easy dissolution of the bilirubin in the water.

This lowers down its level in the blood.

In this metabolic process, the enzyme RNA polymerase binds RNA nucleotides (the substrates) together by catalyzing the formation
stira [4]

Answer:

TRANSCRIPTION

Explanation:

Transcription is the first process that occurs in the expression of a gene. It involves the synthesis of a mRNA molecule from a DNA template. The DNA molecule, which is located in the nucleus of an eukaryotic cell, is bound to by an enzyme called RNA polymerase in order to synthesize an mRNA molecule/strand.

RNA polymerase synthesizes a mRNA molecule using complementary base pairing rule i.e. Uracil base (U) is synthesized when Adenine (A) is read, Adenine when Thymine (T) is read, Guanine (G) when cytosine (C) is read, Cytosine when guanine is read. These nucleotide bases are then joined together via chemical bonding.

In a nutshell, RNA polymerase catalyzes the formation of a bond between the backbone sugar of one nucleotide base to the backbone phosphate of another nucleotide base in the metabolic process of TRANSCRIPTION.
