A 77-year-old man presents with left-sided chest pain, headaches, night sweats, a burning sensation in his hands and feet, and s

hortness of breath. He began having headaches 2 days ago, and his symptoms have progressively worsened. On exam, the patient is a thin ill-appearing man. His spleen is palpated 8 cm below the costal margin, and the liver 5 cm below the costal margin. Laboratory analysis shows that his red blood cell count is elevated, and he has a decrease in plasma volume. White blood cells and platelets are within normal limits. Appearance of the red blood cells is normal. Arterial blood gas analysis shows an O2 saturation of 94% on room air. What is the most likely cause of this patient's symptoms?
a. Chronic myelogenous leukemia
b. Polycythemia vera
c. Thrombocytopenia
d. Iron-deficiency anemia

How was bipedal locomotion important to hominin evolution?
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Bipedalism freed the hands so they could be used to cart food,  make and use weapons and other advantages of freed hands.  Bipedalism is a much more efficient way to walk and run and this  fact is quantified.  Bipedalism raised the early proto-human above the horizontal so  he could see predators approaching.  Bipedalism is a much more efficient design to cool down  overheating bodies.

your welcome :)

If you are reading and you unexpectedly hear a loud noise, your head generally snaps up. Which portion of the midbrain is most l
Digiron [165]

Answer: The answer is A: The Inferior Colliculus

Explanation:

The inferior Colliculi play a major role in hearing. Since the loud noise was what prompted the response it is safe to say the inferior Colliculi is responsible.

Neurons in the inferior Colliculi respond to cues such as intensity, the difference red in arrival of sound to both ears.

However, the head snaps up because the information from the inferior Colliculi is transmitted to the superior Colliculi which is involved with movement such as the head.

Toward an Artificial Cell Scientists have recently constructed an artificial ribosome in vitro from purified ribosomal proteins
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

RNAs and proteins can bind via electrostatic interactions, hydrophobic interactions, Hydrogen bonding interactions and base stacking interactions

Explanation:

Proteins bind to nucleic acids (i.e., both DNA and RNA) through different types of interactions:

- electrostatic interactions, also known as van der Waals interactions, refer to attractive/repulsive interactions between molecules depending on their electric charges.

- hydrophobic interactions, i.e., interactions between nonpolar molecules and water molecules

- Hydrogen bonding interactions resulting from the interaction between a hydrogen (H) atom that bind to an electronegative atom (e.g., N, O, F, etc), and another electronegative atom.

- base stacking interactions that result from the arrangement of RNA nucleotides

In this case, it is also important to highlight that the interaction will depend on the specific tertiary structure of ribosomal proteins and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs).

Which of the following statements about the functional consequences of single base-pair mutations are TRUE? Select the three cor
Alchen [17]

Answer:

these statements are true

B) Insertions or deletions of single base-pairs within a protein coding sequence probably change the amino acid sequence

D) Missense mutations always change the amino acid sequence encoded by a gene

E) Nucleotide substitutions outside of the coding sequence can affect the expression of a gene.

Explanation:

B) insertion or deletion of nucleotide in coding region of DNA can change the amino acid sequence encoded.

D) missense mutation means that the change in nucleotide sequence resulting in change in amino acid sequence encoded by gene.

E) A mutation may alter the promoter of a gene, thereby affecting the rate of transcription.
