mario62 [17]

In small children or infants, a foreign body obstruction of the airway should be suspected if there is a sudden onset of <u>respiratory distress</u>

Signs of FBAO include a sudden onset of respiratory distress with coughing, gagging, stridor, or wheezing.

<h3>What is Foreign body airway obstruction(FBAO)?</h3>

Foreign object airway obstruction: Partial or complete obstruction of the airway to the lungs by a foreign object (food, beads, toys, etc.). Shortness of breath episodes can occur suddenly with a  cough. Restlessness is common in the early stages of airway obstruction. Symptoms of shortness of breath include difficult and ineffective breathing (apnea) until the patient stops breathing. Loss of consciousness occurs if the obstruction is not removed.

Severe or complete foreign-body airway obstruction can kill the victim in minutes if he doesn't get appropriate treatment. The primary technique to clear an obstruction in a conscious adult is administration of abdominal thrusts—the Heimlich maneuver.

A male carries a recessive mutation on the X chromosome that causes hemophilia, a blood clotting disorder. He marries a female w
artcher [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hemophilia is a X linked recessive genetic disorder caused by low amount of clotting factors. Hence, it becomes difficult to stop bleeding in case of an an injury and takes more time to clot. Here,

c= recessive allele for hemophilia gene

C= dominant allele for hemophilia gene

Genotype of male: XcY since he carries the recessive allele for hemophilia trait

Genotype of female: XCXc. She does not have hemophilia but her father had hemophilia so she she must have received one X chromosome from him and hence is a carrier for hemophilia.

Their children:

XcY  X   XCXc = XCXc,  XcXc,  XCY,  XcY

Out of resultant genotypes 2 out of 4 i.e. XcXc and XcY show hemophilia trait hence there is 50% probability that the child will have hemophilia.
