Fatty tissue holds the kidneys in place. extremely rapid weight loss may cause this tissue to shrink so that the kidneys slip from their normal position. on rare occasions, the slippage can put a kink in one or both ureters and block urine flow. suggest what might then happen to the kidneys.

Now think of ways in which using healthcare services effectively can foster your health and ways in which not being aware of them is a health risk

In 2009, a flu pandemic was believed to have originated when viral transmission occurred from pig to human, thereby earning the designation, "swine flu." although pigs are thought to have been the breeding ground for the 2009 virus, sequences from bird, pig, and human viruses were all found within this newly identified virus. what is the most likely explanation of why this virus contained sequences from bird, pig, and human viruses? a) the virus was descended from a common ancestor of bird, pig, and human flu viruses. b) the infected individuals happened to be infected with all three virus types. c) related viruses can undergo genetic recombination if the rna genomes mix and match during viral assembly. d) the human was likely infected with various bacterial strains that contained all three rna viruses.

Which of the following processes within viral replication is the greatest source of genetic variation in rna virus populations? a) high mutation rate due to lack of proofreading of rna genome replication errors. b) transcription from the host cell rna polymerase introduces numerous mutations. c) capsid proteins from the host cell can replace the viral capsid. d) viral rna is translated by host cell ribosomes.
