After playing in an old shed, two boys tell their mother that they hurt all over. She checks and finds that they both have fever

s. One says that he is dizzy and his head hurts, while the other says he thinks he might vomit. Wondering what the boys have gotten into, their mother seeks medical help. After running tests, the doctor informs her that the boys have managed to pick up a hantavirus. It is a very serious strain, Sin Nombre, and they must get treatment straight away. Considering the boys' situation, where do they MOST likely live?

Answer:

Considering the boys' situation, the boys live in the rural areas of one of the western United States, e.g. California.

Explanation:

Hantavirus is spread by rodents and is most common in rural areas of the western United States during the spring and summer months.  Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome also occurs in South America (especially in Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, and Bolivia).  Hantavirus cases have also occurred in Canada and some parts of Asia, where they reportedly caused kidney disorders rather than lung problems.

mixer [17]

Answer:

20 percent

Explanation:

Dystrophia myotonica protein kinase gene, DMPK is a kind of autosomal dominant mutation. Since this disease is autosomal, it is not affected by the sex chromosome. Out of total 23 chromosome pairs in human being, 22 are autosomal chromosome while one pair is sex chromosome. Also autosomal dominant means that the mutated gene is a dominant gene that is found in the non sex chromosomes.

Thus, only one mutated allele is required to pass on the mutation through the families hierarchy.

Thus, the mutation rate of the DMPK gene is

\frac{3}{15} * 100\\= \frac{1}{5} * 100\\= 20%

8_murik_8 [283]
Radioactive atoms are inherently unstable; over time, radioactive "parent atoms" decay into stable "daughter atoms." When molten rock cools, forming what are called igneous rocks, radioactive atoms are trapped inside. ... Scientists date igneous rock using elements that are slow to decay, such as uranium and potassium.

Imagine you have been shipwrecked and are floating on a small piece of wood in the middle of the ocean. You are terribly thirsty
Sveta_85 [38]

Given the higher salinity of the ocean water in comparison to your stomach cells, you will lose water from your cells and become dehydrated.

Osmosis is a phenomenon that shows that in the presence of a space in which the solute concentration is higher than its current location, water will travel towards that more concentrated space in an attempt to dilute the concentration.

The urge to drink is what we call being thirsty. This urge has a biological origin. It is the body's way of telling you that your cells need more water, which leads us to often consume any water we have available. This is not always in our best interest.

However, due to osmosis, drinking the seawater would only have a negative effect on your stomach cells. As stated in the question, the cells contain less concentration of solute (in this case salt) than the water. This means that instead of entering the cell, water would leave to dilute the new seawater, thus dehydrating you more and worsening your condition.
