Answer:

A DNA sequence codes for the same proteins in different species

Explanation:

All living organisms store their genetic information in DNA (genetic material). The manner through which information in the genes are encoded is the GENETIC CODE. The genetic code comprises of all the codons that specifies amino acids in living organisms. The genetic code has several characteristics, which includes that the GENETIC CODE IS UNIVERSAL

The genetic code is said to be universal because all known living organisms use the same genetic code to encode their genetic information. This means that a DNA sequence codes for the same proteins in several different species. For example, codon AUG encodes the amino acid METHIONINE in every living organism.

What is the physical state of DNA after being denatured by heat? A. individual bases, sugars, and phosphates B. double-stranded
mina [271]

Answer:

D. Single-stranded

Explanation:

DNA normally has a <em>double-stranded </em>structure. Each strand is composed by nitrogenous bases, sugars and phospates; strongly binded together by chemical bonds. The strands are bonded to each other, however, by relatively <em>weak interactions </em>between the hydrogen atoms in the nitrogenous bases in each strand. The energy supplied by heat is enough to break the weak interactions between hydrogens, but not enough to break the strong chemical bonds that make up the strands.

Phoenix [80]
The correct answer is delirium.
The Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) is a psychiatric tool used to assess and identify delirium in patients. According to the first observations and the patient's responses to CAM, the nurse can conclude that the patient exhibits signs of delirium. This is because he is unable to concentrate and organize his thinking, he is inattentive, he is lethargic and all these behaviours are sudden and acute. These symptoms cannot be associated with dementia, as dementia develops gradually and doesn't affect attention and consciousness. Also, the symptoms don't point to depression since depressive patients are focused and attentive. Finally, the nurse cannot conclude that the patient is dehydrated because further tests need to be conducted to assess hydration.

monitta
The answer is hypernatremia. Common early symptoms attributed to this condition include a strong feeling of thirst, weakness, nausea, and loss of appetite. Normal serum sodium levels should range between 135 – 145 mmol/L. Hyperaldosteronism (increased production of aldosterone) may be the underlying cause of the condition.
