unremarkable and a quick review of family medical history reveals diabetes mellitus type 2 and hypertension, no other issues articulated.
QUESTIONS:
The following lab results are noted:
• blood glucose level - 90 mg/dl (normal - 50 - 170 mg/dl)
• blood pH level = 7.40 (normal = 7.35 -7.45)
• urine - negative for glucose and negative for acetone/acetoacetate (i. e. ketone bodies)
• CBC- Normal
Answer the following questions, be sure to use proper terminology and detail your answers considering your review of your chapter via textbook, notes and video

Poliovirus is an rna virus of the picornavirus group, which uses its rna as mrna. at its 5' end, the rna genome has a viral protein (vpg) instead of a cap. this is followed by anontranslated leader sequence, and then a single long protein-coding region (~7000 nucleotides), followed by a poly-a tail. observations were made that used radioactive amino acid analogues. short period use of the radioactive amino acids result in labeling of only very long proteins, while longer periods of labeling result in several different short polypeptides. what conclusion is most consistent with the results of the radioactive labeling experiment? a) host cell ribosomes only translate the viral code into short polypeptides. b) the rna is only translated into a single long polypeptide, which is then cleaved into shorter ones. c) the rna is translated into short polypeptides, which are subsequently assembled into large ones. d) the large radioactive polypeptides are coded by the host, whereas the short ones are coded for by the virus.
