WARRIOR [948]3 years ago

Answer:

B) more frequent

Explanation:

This occurs because a punch produces more frequent action potentials from each sensory neuron. This is only caused when there are rapid and sudden changes. A punch is fast and causes very sudden changes when the punch comes into contact with the human body. This therefore, causes these fast and sudden changes which fire very frequently from each sensory neuron. A hug is soft and does not affect the human body in such a sudden way so it does not cause frequent action potentials.

_____ describes why similar organisms do not interbreed because of a physical barrier.
julia-pushkina [17]

Allopatric Speciation describes why similar organisms do not interbreed because of a physical barrier.

Explanation:

The specific situation in which the population of identical species doesn’t interbreed or leaves in isolation with each other is referred as ‘allopatric speciation’.  It is also considered a specification of geographical factors.

The factors that work as a barrier to the process of breeding between same groups of organisms are- mountain formation, formation of water bodies, agriculture etc. These natural and human occurrences affect the geography of a place that influences the separation in species.

a wemen admitted at 24 weeks gestation with rupture of membranes maternal fever what is likely to be helpful
MArishka [77]
<span>If a woman at 24 weeks gestation period has had a rupture of membranes (breaking of the amniotic sac) along with maternal fever, it is likely that she might have premature labor.

There is a high chance for infection since the open membranes harbor bacteria which can enter the womb. Also, the loss of water (amniotic fluid) can affect the growth of the lungs and the body formation of the fetus.

The first step after reaching the hospital will be to check if there is a PROM (premature rupture of membranes) and if the amniotic fluid is leaking from the vagina. For this, many tests can be performed like the Sterile speculum exam, Nitrazine test, Pooling test etc. An Ultrasound is also performed, along with other Immune-chromatological tests.

If the PROM is positive, it is likely that the baby, weighing almost 750 gms, will be delivered within the next 24 hours.
