A 3-week-old infant is brought to the emergency room in a comatose condition. The history reveals that her parents have been feeding her concentrated, undiluted formula for 5 days. (Infant formula preparations are often sold in concentrated forms that must be properly diluted with water before feeding.) The infant’s plasma osmolality is 352 mOsm/L (normal is 280 to 300 mOsm/L), and the osmolality of the urine is 497 mOsm/L. What is the explanation for the hyperosmotic condition of the plasma?

#Unit 7. System Physiology – Animal
  1. The infant has inappropriate antidiuretic hormone regulation
  2. The infant has excessive secretion of aldosterone
  3. The infant is unable to form urine sufficiently concentrated to excrete the solute load from the formula without losing more water than required to maintain normal plasma osmolality
  4. The infant has a renal collecting duct abnormality that prevents it from forming concentrated urine

Aneuploids may arise through nondisjunction, the failure of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate in meiosis. which of the following statements is correct?

a) Meiosis I non-disjunction leads to produce all gamete become aneuploidy

b) Meiosis II non-disjunction leads to produce half of gametes n+1 and n-1 while other half normal haploid

c) Either meiosis I or meiosis II non-disjunction leads to produce all aneuploidy gamete

d) Meiosis II non-disjunction leads to produce all gamete become n+1 and n-1

When two parents heterozygous for albinism mate (Aa X Aa), the probability
of their having a child with albinism (aa) is 1/4 and the probability of having a child with normal pigmentation (AA or Aa) is 3/4 . What is the probability of this couple having 5 children, two with albinism and three with normal pigmentation?

A plant with purple flowers is crossed with a plant with white flowers, and the F1 are self-fertilized to produce 105 F2 progeny with purple flowers and 45 with white flowers.
A scientist hypothesized that there are two genes with identical functions that control the dominant trait. The scientist also proposed that the two genes are not linked. The scientist carried out a chi-square test to test the hypothesis. Which one of the following options is the correct chi-square value obtained by the scientist?
