Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The DNA act as genetic material which carry information that passes to the next generation. The DNA includes genes and every gene contain a pair of alleles. The DNA present in nucleus divided into chromosomes (long strand of DNA).

Answer to Problem 1MCQ

Correct answer:

The chromosome is the second most inclusive present in DNA. Therefore, option (c) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

The living organism contains DNA as genome in which, genes are present, which contain a pair of alleles. The long strands of DNA are present in the form of chromosomes in cells. Thus, in the given above term chromosome is second inclusive.

Option (c) is given as “chromosome”.

As “the DNA present in cell in the form of chromosomes. So chromosome is second most inclusive” is the right answer.

Hence, option (c) is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (a), is given as “Genome”.

The living organisms contain DNA as genome or genetic material. It does not categorize under second most inclusive. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (b), is given as “Allele”.

Every gene contains a pair of allele which is present in DNA. It does not categorize under second most inclusive. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Option (d), is given as “Gene”.

Gene is present within the DNA. It does not categorize under second most inclusive. Hence, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a), (b), and (d), are incorrect.

Conclusion

Thus, the chromosome terms present as a second most inclusive.

1. In vivo testing provides valuable insight into a drug’s kinetics. Assessing drug kinetics following multiple different routes of administration provides greater insight than just a single route of administration alone. The following data was collected in 250 g rats following bolus iv, oral (po), and intraperitoneal (ip) administration.Using this data and set of graphs, determine: (a) k, C0, V, and AUC* for the bolus iv data  (b) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the po data  (c) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the ip data  (d) relative bioavailability for po vs ip, Fpo/Fip  (e) absolute po bioavailability, (f)Fpo absolute ip bioavailability, Fip    MAKE SURE ANSWERS HAVE UNITS if appropriate.

2. Drug quantification from plasma is commonly performed by using techniques such as HPLC or LC/MS. However, these methods do have limitations, and investigators may choose to use a radiolabeled analog of a drug instead. Radioligands are molecules that contain radioactive isotopes, commonly 3H or 14C. This technique allows investigators to quantify drug concentration from radiation measurements. The following measurements were made in 250 g rats following oral administration of 18.2 µCi of a 14C-labeled drug of interest: Time (min) Plasma Radiation Levels (µCi/L) 0 0.0 2 9.7 4 19.2 7 25.3 9 37.8 12 39.6 14 45.8 17 48.8 20 52.0 25 56.4 30 59.2 35 60.1 40 61.1 45 62.1 50 62.8 60 63.1 70 62.1 80 60.1 90 57.3 100 55.5 110 53.7 120 52.2 150 48.0 180 45.0 240 39.0  Note that a µCi is a measure of the amount of radioactivity and hence is a measure of the amount of drug present.  Given that the oral bioavailability of this drug is known to be essentially 100%, estimate the following from this…
