A 50-year-old man became lethargic and drowsy with flushed dry skin after eating a large meal. His family became concerned when

he was difficult to rouse, and he had a fruity odor to his breath. He was transported to an emergency facility, where he gave a history of extreme thirst, hunger, and frequent urination. He recently had an upper-respiratory infection that was slow to clear. Adult-onset diabetes mellitus is suspected.

Answer:

A fasting blood sugar test will be ordered.

Explanation:

A fasting blood sugar test or a glycated hemoglobin test is ordered in such situations. Additionally, tests to determine the insulin level as well as an ophthalmic investigation to determine diabetic retinopathy are ordered. Blood sugar level less than 100 mg/dl is classified as normal. A person is pre-disposed to diabetes if his blood sugar level is between 100-125 mg/dl.

A confirmed case of diabetes mellitus will have a fasting blood sugar level, 126 mg/dl and higher. Insulin administration and a proper management of diet are essential in managing the condition.

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Mass dates from Antoine Lavoisier's 1789 discovery that mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. In other words, the mass of any one element at the beginning of a reaction will equal the mass of that element at the end of the reaction.

Helppppppp plz thx........

Answer:

1) aa- affected

2) Aa- unaffected carrier

3) aa- affected

4) aa- affected

5) Aa - unaffected carrier

6) Aa- unaffected carrier

7) aa- affected

8) aa- affected

9) Aa- unaffected carrier

10) aa- affected

11) Aa- unaffected carrier.

This trait is <em>recessive</em>.

The F1 generation has a 50/50 chance of having unaffected offspring.

Explanation:

1) Given

2) Some of the offspring have the trait, and they're not affected, so they have to be a carrier

3) The box is shaded in so they have to have the trait, which means they have to have the same gene pattern as the other affected person (#1)

4) They are also shaded in, so they have to have the trait

5) Since the parents either have the trait or are carriers, if they're not affected they have to be a carrier

6) Same reasoning as #5

7) This is shaded in, the box has to have the trait

8) Shaded in = has the trait/affected

9) Since the parents either have the trait or are carriers, if they're not affected they have to be a carrier

10) Shaded in = has the trait/affected

11) Since the parents either have the trait or are carriers, if they're not affected they have to be a carrier

Since the trait is displayed when the people have two lowercase letters (aa), and people can be unaffected and carriers, (Aa), this trait has to be recessive.

If you make a Punnett Square, you will see that half of the offspring can result in an Aa, while the other half can result in an aa, meaning there's a 50/50 chance of the offspring of the F1 (first) generation will have the trait.

Round seeds are dominant over wrinkled seeds in
antoniya [11.8K]

Genotype - RR - 25%, Rr - 50%, rr - 25% (1:2:1)

Phenotype - Round seeds - 75%, Wrinkled seeds - 25% (3:1)

<h3>How explain your answer?</h3>

Let the letter "r" stand for the alleles, where R is round seeds and r is wrinkled seeds. A genotype is an individual's genes represented through alleles. Phenotypes are how the genes express themselves. In other words, genotypes will be written using letters, the alleles, and phenotypes will be the possible outcomes of the alleles.

Both of the parent seeds have the genotypes Rr and the phenotype of round seeds.

If you create punnet square (which had four boxes in total) 1 will have RR, 2 will have Rr, and 1 will have rr. These are the ratios for the genotypes. Each box represents 25%, so the percentages will be 25, 50, and 25. Finally, 3 of these boxes (RR and Rr) will result in round seeds because those are dominant. Only the genotype rr will result in wrinkled phenotype. Therefore, the ratio is 3:1 or 75% to 25%.

Thus, this could be the answer.
