Aclient comes to the emergency department with status asthmaticus. the client's respiratory rate is 48 breaths/minute, and the client is wheezing. an arterial blood gas analysis reveals a ph of 7.52, a partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide (paco₂) of 30 mm hg, pao₂ of 70 mm hg, and bicarbonate (hco₃⁻) of 26 meq/l. what disorder is indicated by these findings?
a. metabolic acidosis
b. respiratory acidosis

Joe is breeding cockroaches in his dorm room. he finds that the average wing length in his population of cockroaches is 4 cm. he chooses the six cockroaches that have the largest wings; the average wing length among these selected cockroaches is 10 cm. joe interbreeds these selected cockroaches. from earlier studies, he knows that the narrow-sense heritability for wing length in his population of cockroaches is 0.6. a. calculate the selection differential and expected response to selection for wing length in these cockroaches. b. what should be the average wing length of the progeny of the selected cockroaches?

Ry was studying two populations of the same species of lizards. one population lived on an island and the other lived on the mainland. both populations were affected by a hurricane that hit the island and the mainland with equal force. a year later, henry was testing the gene frequency and saw a decrease in genetic variation in the island species, but not in the mainland species. which best describes a conclusion he might have reached? gene flow greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover. genetic drift greatly affects small populations, but large populations can recover. gene flow greatly affects large populations, but small populations can recover. genetic drift greatly affects large populations, but small populations can recover.
