This is a case of pulmonary embolism. In a patient treated for a broken leg, immobilization of the affected limb is strongly advised; although immobilization imposes a risk to develop deep vein thrombosis or the development of clot most commonly in the popliteal veins. This clot or thrombus can be dislodged and can travel to the right ventricle then pumped into the pulmonary circulation; causing dyspnea, chest pain, and hemoptysis.

<span>Pulmonary embolism. Bill had a blood clot in his leg that broke loose and traveled to his lung where it is blocking an artery.
</span><span>Pulmonary embolism is a blockage in one of the pulmonary arteries in your lungs. In most cases, pulmonary embolism is caused by blood clots that travel to the lungs from the legs or, rarely, other parts of the body (deep vein thrombosis). </span>

15,000 years ago, when humans were foragers and hunters, what characterized daily life? What were humans eating, and where and h
lisabon 2012 [21]

1. 15,000 years ago the humans were still hunter-gatherers. Their daily lives were largely based around one thing, finding enough food to survive through  the next few days. This means that they had to constantly be on the move, be it for hunting animals, or for finding rich places with eatable plants. There was lot of walking, running, and scouting involved every day. It was a lifestyle of ''living through the day''.

2. During this period of time, the diet of the humans was consisted of animals they hunted, fish, and plants. There were differences from region to region though, so the people that lived along the coastline based their diet on marine animals, the ones that were living in colder regions were eating mostly meat, while the ones living in forested areas or grasslands had combination of plants and meat. The lifestyle in general was moving from place to place, be it on a daily basis, weakly, or seasonally, depending on the conditions. Some of these people were making small shelters, some of which were retractable and they were moving them with them, while others were using caves.

3. There are many difference between the forager peoples and the agriculturalists. The foragers were nomads, thus they were moving very often from one place to another, while the agriculturalists were having a settled lifestyle. The nomads very often had bad injuries which were often fatal, usually because of hunting, while the agriculturalists had much better health because they had much safer lifestyle. The foragers were not able to produce their own food, but instead they were relying on mother nature, while the agriculturalists were producing their own food and had the food problem solved.

Answer:

- There are three main steps to DNA replication: initiation, elongation, and termination.

- In order to fit within a cell's nucleus, DNA is packed into tightly coiled structures called chromatin, which loosens prior to replication, allowing the cell replication machinery to access the DNA strands.

Answer:

III3 will be "pp" lower case p

II2 will be Pp

Explanation:

As we know the trait is caused by dominant alleles. III3 is not affected so she will have two recessice alleles so 2 lower case p.

III2 is affected so the person will have one dominant allele P and one recessive. The dominant is from the father and the recessive is from the mother.

Hope that helps
