A doctor examines a patient who has high blood pressure and atherosclerosis in the coronary artery. What medical condition conne

cted to blood flow is most likely to affect this patient in the future?
A. The patient may develop headaches and confusion due to cancer in the brain caused by years of low levels of oxygen supplied to the brain.
B. The patient may develop stiff joints and chest pains from the high blood pressure applied to the muscle and joint tissues of the body.
C. The patient may show signs of confusion, weakness, and partial paralysis due to high blood pressure when the plaque dislodges and blocks blood flow to the brain.
D. The patient may suffer a heart attack because of the reduction in blood flow to the heart muscles due to severe plaque build-up in the coronary artery.

Answer:C. The patient may show signs of confusion, weakness, and partial paralysis due to high blood pressure when the plaque dislodges and blocks blood flow to the brain.

Explanation: Atherosclerosis is a condition that occur when the artery is blocked due to the buildup of fatty acids called plague preventing the flow of blood to vital organs. When this organs( such as heart and brain) are not supplied blood it could lead to malfunctioning or damage of such organ.

When the brain is not adequately supply with blood it could result into confusion, paralysis, constant weakness and even stroke in case of total blockage. Also, inadequate supply of blood to the heart can result into chest pain and aches and heart attack when the artery is block completely.

Regular exercise,good diet and treatment of ailment such as high blood pressure could help reduce the chances of having atherosclerosis.

Answer: Option C.

The patient may show sign of confusion, weakness ND partial paralysis due to high blood pressure when the plague dislodges and blocks blood flow to the brain.

Explanation:

Atherosclerosis is the hardening of the arteries which reduce the length of arteries and make it narrow in the body, when the arteries that carry blood to the heart is affected by atherosclerosis, it lead to coronary artery diseases.

High blood pressure is a condition where the pressure of blood increases beyond the normal level.

A patient with these conditions, will have weakness and partial paralysis because the arteries is narrow and there is forceful blood flow, thereby overworking the arteries,making it to become weak and not carry blood efficiently, causing it to block. These will in turn reduce the blood nutrients that will be carry to the cells , cause weakness , partial paralysis and block blood flows.

What would be the best negative control to use when testing for any organic compounds
ra1l [238]

Explanation:

A similar question was asked online, here is the answer it gave:

'“Negative control” is a treatment that by definition is expected not to have any effect (neither positive effect, nor negative effect). “Positive control” is treatment with a well-known chemical that is known to produce the expected effect with the assay that you are studying. Application of an antagonist is not a negative control in your case. “Negative control” is condition that should be treated with the same solutions or buffers as your “treatment” condition, with the only difference that instead of the chemical that you investigate you should add just the solvent that was used to dissolve you chemical in the respective final concentration that you have in the “experimental treatment” condition. For example if your chemical is dissolved in DMSO – than the correct negative control will be to add to the medium/buffer just DMSO in the same final concentration that you reach with your “treatment” condition. One of the reasons of using such negative control is to verify that the solvent is having no effect in your assay. Note that among all treatment conditions (“negative control”, “positive control”, “experimental treatment you are investigating”) the volumes and the composition of the treatments that you are doing should be uniform: always treat with the same volume of medium or buffer, always containing the same concentration of the used solvent (e.g., DMSO). The only difference should be the presence or absence of the defined compound-treatments (agonist, antagonist, the chemical for the experimental investigation etc.).'

My best advice is to use the textbook you have, or use examples of a negative control when testing organic compounds because you have to find something that you can assign, like a worm in a box of dirt, the worm could have enough food to survive, so that is your negative control, but when it comes to finding the best, that would have to rely on something within the parameters of being self sufficient like a plant getting its energy from photosynthesis, etc.

Geneticists have discovered the existence of meiotic drive genes, which have alleles that, when present in a heterozygous state,
Alex_Xolod [135]

The given question is incomplete as the statements are not give, however, the the answer is given on the general knowledge about the question:

Answer:

The correct answer would be - They violate the law of equal segregation.

Explanation:

According the first law of Mendel, the law of segregation that says that during gamete formation, the two alleles, present at a gene locus segregate from one another and each gamete has 50% of containing any of two allele.

In meiotic drive genes, the alleles present are if present in a heterozygous state, are able to become incorporated into much more than 50 percent of the gametes which is against the law of segregation.

The correct answer would be - They violate the law of equal segregation.
