Answer:

Explanation:

When the left side of the heart (left ventricle) starts to fail, fluid collects in the lungs (edema). This extra fluid in the lungs (pulmonary congestion) makes it more difficult for the airways to expand as a person inhales. Breathing becomes more difficult and the person may feel short of breath, particularly with activity or when lying down.

When the right side of the heart (right ventricle) starts to fail, fluid begins to collect in the feet and lower legs. Puffy leg swelling (edema) is a sign of right heart failure, especially if the edema is pitting edema. With pitting edema, a finger pressed on the swollen leg leaves an imprint. Non-pitting edema is not caused by heart failure.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Earth has been our place for many years. all inhabitants on earth are causing great destruction. along the way we tried to resolve issues yet some we couldn't figure out. the one we couldn't figure out had made a great impact on our world today. Just how do we stop it? Many ways actually, taking pollution for example. pollution is a great cause for why earth isn't as lively as before. along the years we've polluted 92% of the earths air. causing us to breathe unhealthy air. We can easily fix this problem with finding new ways to get somewhere like riding a bike or taking an energy efficient car. Therefore, we humans have change the world dramatically by doing good things and bad things, too. but in the end we are the ones causing earth to nearly give up, so we can also be the ones to let the earth forgive.

hope this helps you out!

TIP: change it up so you don't do plagiarism:)

Think about the dna coding sequence of a gene. if an a were swapped for a t, what kind of mutation could it cause and why?
sukhopar [10]
If an A (Adenine) were swapped for a T (Thymine) it will lead to A TRANSVERSION TYPE OF POINT MUTATION.

Replacement of an A with a T is a transversion type of point mutation because in transversion the purine is replaced with a pyrimidine. Since in this case only one nucleotide is replaced, it is a point mutation.
