Ileostomy is a procedure where the end of the small intestine, called the ileum, is brought out of an opening in the belly through surgery. The opening is called a stoma, and its shiny, bright red in color. It is often done after the large intestine has been removed due to cancer or serious physical injuries. Having a stoma, and the need of emptying it several times a day, is disfiguring so the patient often suffer from poor self image. The patient in the case, may be concerned of being unable to continue romantic relationships due to having a stoma. As a nurse, make sure to first make patient understand that ileostomy surgery does not involve the reproductive organs or the gonads. Then, acknowledge that while having a stoma is disfiguring, many organizations are helping increase awareness and acceptance of those who have the condition. Refer the patient to such local stoma advocacy organizations.

A test organism develops a genetic mutation that causes neurons to develop without synaptic knobs. How will this impact neuronal
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The electrical signal will not be converted into chemical signal.

Explanation:

The synaptic knob is the bulbous enlargement also called synaptic terminal preset at the end of the axon.

The synaptic knob is a living cell and thus contains all the living features but they also contain the vesicles which store the neurotransmitters, therefore, synaptic knob acts as a site which converts the electrical signal into a chemical signal. The released neurotransmitter from the synaptic knob interacts with the post neuron or recipient neuron.

If the mutation develops in the neurons which result in the formation of neurons without synaptic knob therefore the electrical signal will not be converted into a chemical signal and thus signal will stop.

A purple flower with an unknown genotype is crossed with a white flower. Determine the genotype of the purple flower if purple (
Furkat [3]
If purple is dominant, the genotype of the purple flower could be PP or Pp, as both would give a purple colour. However, if the crossed flower turned out to be white, we could say with certainty that the genotype of the purple flower is Pp as the genotype of the white crossed flower would be pp, which would not be possible if the purple flower's genotype was PP.
