BUZZ, BUZZ! Oh, what terrible timing. Tom was in the middle of setting up an experiment in lab when his phone indicated that he

had a voicemail from his 3-year-old's preschool. He finished up his immediate task and checked his messages. The preschool teacher was calling to let him know that his son, Theo, had a fever of 101.7°F and that he didn't seem to be feeling well and needed to be picked up early. Tom sighed and said he would be right there. He went back into lab, diluted back his bacterial culture, put it in the incubator, and decided to do the experiment tomorrow. When he drove to preschool and picked up Theo, he noticed Theo was lethargic and sad. Tom knew that kids get all sorts of random illnesses, so he took Theo home to see if he could figure out if anything else was wrong. Because Theo was 3 years old, he was able to tell his Dad that his throat hurt a lot as he kept rubbing his throat. Theo didn't seem any to be getting any worse, so everyone went to bed. In the middle of the night, Theo wakes up to vomit (repeatedly) and complains of stomach pain.
Tuesday, March 7, 2017

After a night of not very much sleep, Tom checked Theo's temperature again and saw that it was still high. Now he saw that Theo's cheeks were flushed and there was a rash consisting of pink, slightly raised bumps (no pustules) covering his cheeks, chest, and back. Tom placed a call to the pediatrician to set up an appointment for later that morning.

Required:
a. What disease is the boy likely suffering from? Explain your diagnosis.
b. Name and describe the pathogen that causes this disease.
c. Because Theo is going to be taken to the doctor, is it likely to the fatal? What if the year was 1900? Why?
d. Explain what is causing the rash.
e. If the boy was infected with the same pathogen and had the same signs and symptoms, but did not present with a rash, what would the disease diagnosis be?
f. What treatment would the doctor prescribe? Name one example and describe the mechanism of action
g. The boy was given a prescription and started having diarrhea. Is this normal? Why or why not?

The expansion of grasses during the Oligocene and Miocene Epochs led to
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

The answer is:

D. the radiation of herbivores such as grazing animals

Explanation:

Oligocene and Miocene Epochs:

  • The Oligocene epoch is characterized by temperate and subtropical climatic conditions which favored the expansion of grasses and reduced forest cover.
  • The Miocene epoch, which succeeded the Oligocene era, is attributed to changes in global circulation due to global warming of the climate followed by global cooling towards the end.

The Oligocence and Miocene epoch are both attributed to the expansion of grasslands and savannah. Both eras marked rapid and drastic evolutionary changes in grazing mammals and herbivores. Diverse groups of grazing mammals lived throughout these eras. For example, the largest herbivore and land mammal of all time, <em>Indricotherium</em> (a sort of giant hornless rhinoceros), was present in the Oligocene era.

Similarly, the Oligocene era in North America favored the rapid radiation of primitive horses.

Single strands of nucleic acids are directional, meaning that there are two different ends. What functional groups define the tw
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The 5' end has free phosphate group while the 3' end has free OH group.

Explanation:

Each DNA strand has two ends that differ from each other with respect to the functional group. The nucleotide present at the 5' end of a DNA strand has a free phosphate group. This phosphate group of other nucleotides of the DNA strand is bonded in phosphodiester bonds. Likewise, the 3' end of a DNA has a free OH group. This makes the two ends of a DNA strand quite different from each other. A DNA new nucleotide can be added to the 3' end due to the presence of a free OH group.

The tentacles of a squid are appendages that have been modified from which primitive molluscan structure?
mojhsa [17]

The correct answer is foot.

Mollusks have more diverse forms in comparison to any other animal phylum. They comprise, the slugs, snails, and other gastropods; squids and other cephalopods; clams and other bivalves; and other lesser known but identically different subgroups.  

The cephalopods like octopuses and squids possess the head, which is prominent and the foot that has been amended into tentacles. The cephalopods have an absent or diminished shell and exhibit the most advanced nervous system of the invertebrates.
