<span>The nurse should give the highest priority care to the Ventricular Arrhythmias Patient. Because Ventricular arrhythmias start in the heart's lower chambers, the ventricles. They can be very dangerous and usually require medical care right away. Ventricular arrhythmias include ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular tachycardia is an abnormal electrical impulses that start in the ventricles and cause an abnormally fast heartbeat. This often happens if the heart has a scar from a previous heart attack. Usually, the ventricle will contract more than 200 times a minute. Ventricular fibrillation is an irregular heart rhythm consisting of very rapid, uncoordinated fluttering contractions of the ventricles.The ventricles do not pump blood properly, they simply quiver. Ventricular fibrillation is life threatening and usually associated with heart disease. It is often triggered by a heart attack.</span>

Help please !! I really don’t understand this much☹️

Ok, so I wrote these out just to make it a little bit easier for you to understand what I am about to explain.

So for the first one you have two different traits that can be inherited- having freckles or having no freckles, F and f respectively. The dominant trait (or having freckles) is shown by the capital F, and is almost always expressed over the recessive trait, or the lowercase f. So, for example, if you have a genotype of Ff, the trait having freckles will show up instead of not having freckles. The only way that you could have the trait of no freckles show up is if there are two recessive alleles for having no freckles, or ff. In this case, you have two parents who are both heterozygous for the trait of having freckles, so in other words the mother has Ff and the father has Ff. Each parent passes down one allele to the offspring, so since you are breeding Ff and Ff, you should result in having the possible genotypes of FF, Ff, Ff, and ff. This means that there is a 25% chance that the offspring will be homozygous for having freckles, a 50% chance that the offspring will be heterozygous for having freckles and a 25% chance that they would be homozygous for having no freckles, or a 1:2:1 ratio.

Incomplete dominance is a little bit different that just a normal monohybrid cross. Instead of just the dominant gene showing up in a heterozygous genotype, both traits show up. So like the question says, if a homozygous red flower plant was crossed with a homozygous white flower plant, their offspring would not just be white or red, they would be pink because it is a mixture of white and red. So then if you crossed the heterozygous, or Rr plants, the result would be a 25% chance of getting a homozygous RR red plant, a 50% chance of getting a pink Rr plant, and a 25% chance of getting a white rr plant, or another 1:2:1 ratio.

Sorry for the wordy answer, but hopefully this helps you understand this a little better :)

The condition Marfan syndrome results from the production of abnormal elastin, the main protein component of elastic fibers. Pre
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Elastic fibers are made of elastin and microfibrils, that are elastic protein structures. The proteins can be stretched and resume normal shape. These fibers are found in parts of the body such as arteries, skin, lungs, connective tissue and heart that require some stretching. Marfan syndrome affects the elastic connective tissues causing symptoms like dilation of the aorta that doesn't resume normal lumen diameter (aortic aneurysm), and curving of the spine (scoliosis).

The lungs are unable to stretch and resume shape normally and this affects the respiratory system. The subjects will suffer from shortness of breath, wheezing and chest pain.

The sheath/endoneurium of neurons is connective tissue. This part of a neuron allows signals to travel effeciently along the axon of the neuron. This means that a person with Mafran syndrome has a slower response to stimuli that ordinary persons.

patriot [66]

Answer:

<u>Option- D: </u>Is the best choice to choose from the given options.

Now, let us explain the term Cell cycle in a more comprehensive way.

<u>As the cell cycle is controlled at three checkpoints.</u>

  • The integrity of the DNA is assessed at the G₁ checkpoint.
  • Proper chromosome duplication is assessed at the G₂ checkpoint.
  • Attachment of each kinetochore to a spindle fiber is assessed at the M checkpoint.

Explanation:

The cell cycle is controlled by three internal checkpoints that evaluate the condition of the genetic information.

  1. <u>The G₁ Checkpoint</u>:This stage determines whether all conditions are favorable for cell division to proceed. The cell can halt the cycle and attempt to remedy the problematic condition, or the cell can advance into G₀ (inactive) phase and await further signals when conditions improve.
  2. <u>The G₂ Checkpoint:</u> The most important role of the G₂ checkpoint is to ensure that all of the chromosomes have been accurately replicated without mistakes or damage.
  3. <u>The M Checkpoint:</u>It occurs near the end of the meta-phase stage of mitosis. it determines whether all the sister chromatids are correctly attached to the spindle micro-tubules
