a.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The name of the acid-base condition for a person suffering from bulimia.

Introduction: Person K is suffering from a disorder called bulimia. In this condition, overeating leads to self-induced vomiting. The weight of Karen is too low and the respiration rate is 6 breaths/min. The bicarbonate (HCO3­) level of Karen is 62 mEqE/L, Pco2 is 61 mmHg, and atrial blood pH is 7.61.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason for the high level of plasma bicarbonate level in a person suffering from bulimia.

Introduction: Bulimia is a condition in which overeating leads to self-induced vomiting. This condition can lead to ventilation in which the breathing rate of an individual is decreased. The blood pH of the patient also increases in this condition.

c.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The reason behind her hypoventilation.

Introduction: Perosn K is suffering from bulimia, which leads to metabolic alkalosis. In this condition, the breathing rate of an individual decreases and the bicarbonate (HCO3­) level of increases.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect of hypoventilation on pH and total oxygen content of her blood.

Introduction: Person K is taking 6 breaths/minute, which is a condition of hypoventilation. On the contrary, the normal rate of breathing is 12 breaths/minute.

The shape of radishes may be long (SL/SL), oval (SL/SS), or round (SS/SS), and the color of radishes may be red (CR/CR), purple (CR/CW) or white (CW/CW).  If a long, red radish plant is crossed with a round, white plant, what will be the appearance of the F1 and F2 generations?
None
Question #3: In the KeyGene paper, the authors state that it would be useful if pollen from an apomict would transmit apomixis-inducing genes to the female in the cross (assuming the pollen is viable). Assuming there was just one gene conferring gametophytic obligate apomixis, and that the two parents are inbreds, what would be the consequences of such a cross if: a) The apomixis was a dominant trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the parental cross. b) The apomixis was a recessive trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the…
