Explanation of Solution

Cambrian explosion is the term that indicates a burst of animal diversity. During the Cambrian period, the body plans characteristic of most bilateral phyla took shape. This period of rapid diversification in the fossil record is known as the Cambrian explosion.

The fossil record reveals that a large accumulation of new characters in a comparatively short span of time during which the important attributes of modern animal phyla emerged. For instance, arthropods possess segmented bodies with jointed legs, a protective cuticle, compound eyes with several lenses, and other appendages for feeding and sensing the surroundings. Cambrian fossils encompass the remains of organisms with some, however, not all, of the major features exist currently in arthropods

If you wanted to reduce the difference between peak and trough levels that occur with repeated administration of a drug, how would you adjust the dose and dose interval without changing the plateau concentration (plateau is the average of peak and trough levels)? Select your answers for both dose and interval. Hint: It may be helpful to think about this problem using an example such as food. How would you eat if you wanted to maintain very steady hunger/satiety levels without changing your total caloric intake? Options: A. Dose; Increase dose     B. Dose; Decrease dose     C. Dose; Do not change dose     D. Interval; Increase the interval between doses (give the drug less frequently)    E. Interval; Decrease the interval between doses (give the drug more frequently)     F. Interval; Do not change the interval
