Biology
1 answer:
Ierofanga [76]2 years ago

Answer:

<em>Asthma and COPD are both chronic lung diseases. COPD is mainly due to damage caused by smoking, while asthma is due to an inflammatory reaction. COPD is a progressive disease, while allergic reactions of asthma can be reversible.</em><em>With asthma, the swelling is often triggered by something you're allergic to, like pollen or mold, or by physical activity. COPD is the name given to a group of lung diseases that include emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Emphysema happens when the tiny sacs in your lungs (called alveoli) are damaged</em><em>.</em>

Alleles A and a reside at a locus on the same chromosome as a locus with alleles B and b. Aa Bb is crossed with aa bb and the fo
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The two genes are linked together

Explanation:

<em>The conclusion that can be drawn about the arrangement of the genes on the chromosome in the Aa Bb parent is that the two genes are linked together. That is, they do not assort independently.</em>

When two genes are linked together, the number of recombinant offspring would be more than the number of offspring with parental traits. The frequency of recombination would also not exceed 50%.

<em>Recombination frequency = number of recombinant offspring/total number of offspring x 100%</em>

Number of recombinant offspring = 45 + 45 = 90

Total number of offspring = 45 + 45 + 5 + 5 = 100

Recombination frequency = 90/100 x 100% = 10%

Hence, the two genes Aa and Bb are said to be linked together.

Sally comes to the medical setting stating she has heartburn on a daily basis. She states that she has also been constipated.
swat32

Answer:

Magnesium hydroxide  Mg(OH)₂ is the formula for the antacid. Commonly known as milk of magnesia.

This antacid should be taken at bed time or one hour after meal. Once a day.

The routine medication should have at-least one hour gap with the antacid.

If sally develops diarrhea then the antacid should be discontinued.

Lifestyle changes that could help Sally's bowel and gastric conditions are:

  • High fiber diet.
  • Increased Water intake.
  • Regular exercise.
  • Less spicy died.
  • Taking meals at-least 3 hours before bed time.
  • Wearing loose fitting comfortable clothes.

Explanation:

  • following the symptoms it is assumable that Sally is suffering from GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease) which has resulted in constipation.
  • GERD is a condition when the stomach acid of a person moves into the esophagus due to incomplete closure of the lower esophageal sphincter .
  • Reflux of the stomach acid results in heart burn.
  • The best way to relieve this condition is to take an antacid having a bicarbonate, or hydroxide formula which will react with the stomach acid and neutralize it or a proton pump inhibitor which would check the production of stomach acids.
  • In Sally's case GERD is accompanied with constipation so she needs a antacid as well as laxative which will ease the bowel movement.
  • A proton pump inhibitor will not be a good choice because it might aggravate the constipation thus Milk of magnesia or any other antacid with magnesium hydroxide with a chief component should be prescribed.
  • Magnesium hydroxide is a laxative that acts as a mild antacid.
  • Milk of magnesia has been reported of having diarrhea as a side effect, so the medication should be discontinued if Sally suffers diarrhea after taking the medication.
  • GERD is best treated with lifestyle changes that include high roughage in diet, water intake, and physical exercise. These prevent the built up of acid in stomach and maintain the intestinal peristalsis thus regularizing the bowel movement and relieving acid acccumulation.

espero que te sirva

Explanation:

El número de animales salvajes que viven en la Tierra va camino de disminuir en dos tercios para el año 2020, según el informe Planeta Vivo de WWF, en el que se señala que la extinción parcial de especies está destruyendo el sustento biológico del que depende la humanidad. Este informe, el más completo realizado hasta la fecha, indica que las poblaciones de animales se desplomaron en un 58% entre 1970 y 2012 y todo apunta a que esta pérdida podrá alcanzar el 67% en 2020.
