Answer from: kyle65

A. electrocardiogram and C. echocardiography.

Explanation:

The two diagnostics used to confirm if a person has ventricular enlargement are electrocardiogram and echocardiography. Electrocardiograms mostly detect the electrical activity of the left ventricle, and if there is a problem on the right ventricle, it might be hard to confirm it with this procedure, so the best option is to complement it with echocardiography since it gives an image of the right ventricle walls.

Answer from: pennygillbert

The correct answer to the question is option A

ELECTROCARDIOGRAM

Explanation: Right sided heart failure is otherwise known as pulmonary heart disease or cor pulmonale.

In a healthy heart,deoxygenated blood enters the right atrium through the superior and inferior vena cava,the right atrium contracts opening the tricuspid valve and making way for the blood to empty into the right ventricle.the right ventricle further contracts and the pulmonary valve opens,the deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle goes into the pulmonary trunk and into the right and left pulmonary artery,the right and left pulmonary artery empties the deoxygenated blood into the right and left lungs for gaseous exchange.(oxygenation)

When the right side of the heart is diseased,there will be a failure in carrying out the above stated functions.

Right sided heart failure is simply defined as the inability of the right side of the heart to take-up or pump deoxygenated blood into the lungs for oxygenation.

The sign and symptoms if right sided heart failure are mainly lethergy, dyspnea, fatigue and oedema.

Electrocardiogram is one of the diagnostic procedure for right sided heart failure,it will reveal an impairment in the heart rate and rythym and also an impairment in pulmonary artery pressure.

Considering the yellow and green pea color phenotypes studied by gregor mendel: a. what is the biochemical function of the protein that is specified by the gene responsible for the pea color phenotype? (1 point) b. a null allele of a gene is an allele that does not specify (or encode) any of the biochemical function that the gene normally provides (in other words, either no protein at all or only non-functional protein is produced from it). of the two alleles, y and y, which is more likely to be a null allele? (1 point) c. in terms of the underlying biochemistry, why is the y allele dominant to the y allele? (2 points) d. why are peas that are yy homozygotes green? (1 point) e. the amount of protein produced from a gene is roughly proportional to the number of functional copies of the gene carried by a cell or individual. what do the phenotypes of yy homozygotes, yy heterozygotes, and yy homozygotes tell us about the amount of sgr enzyme needed to produce a yellow color? explain your reasoning. (2 points)
