Answer:

Both parents are heterozygous for the trait. They must be carriers of the recessive gene that codes for blue eyes.

Explanation:

Let us assume that the dominant gene codes for brown eyes while the recessive gene codes for blue eyes. We can suggest that both parents are carriers of the recessive gene. They both express brown eyes because they also have a dominant gene that codes for brown. Clark inherited one recessive allele from each parent, so he expresses blue eyes. The couple has a 75% probability of getting a brown-eyed child, while the probability of getting a blue-eyed child is 25%.

<h3>Oxidative Phosphorylation</h3>

Explanation:

The process by which ATP is generated by utilizing the large amount of energy released during the transfer of electrons from NADH or FADH₂ to the O₂  through a series of electron carrier present in the mitochondrial membrane is called oxidative phosphorylation.

The process of electron transfer is accompanied by the pumping of protons across inner membrane of mitochondria, from the  mitochondrial matrix to intermembrane space establishing electrochemical proton gradient.

The ATP synthase complex present in the mitochondrial membrane allows the protons to move down the proton gradient  as a result enough energy is released to add a phosphate group to ADP and form ATP inside the mitochondrial matrix.

Describe the change that you made that led to the increase in the size of the clawcat population. Explain why the change led to
Rom4ik [11]

Answer and Explanation:

It is possible to increase the population of Clawcat in two ways. The first is to decrease the population of the organism that feeds on Clawcat. The second is to increase the resources that Clawncat needs to survive, that is, to increase the fertility of the soil through an appropriate and efficient fertilization, making a larger plantation of Clawcat, allowing an adequate irrigation and allowing full access to sunlight.

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

c. in renal dysfunction, dosage reduction is necessary to avoid seizures

Explanation:

Imipenem is an antibiotic which is given in combination with cilastatin. It is used to treat pneumonia, joint infections, urinary tract infections, sepsis etc. It kills bacteria by interfering with its cell wall formation process. It is metabolized in kidney reducing its half life so cilastatin is given with it to halt its renal metabolism.

Imipenem belongs to carbapenem family of antibiotics. Carbapenem antibiotics can cause seizures specially in people with nervous system disorders or renal failure. Dose must be reduced in patients with renal (kidney) dysfunction otherwise patient's kidneys will be damaged more and since they are already in weak state, it can prove dangerous to the patient.
