The doctor tells her parents she has an inherited disorder. If you were the doctor what would you diagnosis Kate with? Discuss the etiology of Kate’s disorder? What is the biggest risk factor for this disorder? How can or will this disorder affect Kate? What test could have been completed to diagnosis this disorder before Kate’s birth?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

- These morphological features belong to Down syndrome.

- Diagnosis: Down syndrome (Trisomy Extra chromosome 21).

- Etiology: the presence of three copies of the autosomal chromosome 21 instead of two copies in body (somatic) cells.

- Most important health problem: Down syndrome increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (other health problems include heart congenital defects, vision problems, hearing loss, hypothyroidism)

- Diagnostic test: Amniocentesis

Explanation:

Down syndrome (DS) is the most frequent chromosomal abnormality which is generally caused by the presence of an extra copy of autosomal chromosome 21, thereby it is an autosomal trisomy (trisomy 21). DS is often associated with intellectual disability and increased risk of developing Alzheimer's, as well as health problems including, among others, heart congenital defects, vision problems, hypothyroidism, blood disorders, hypotonia, endocrine problems, dental problems, seizures, etc. Amniocentesis is the most common invasive prenatal diagnostic procedure which is used to identify chromosomal abnormalities such as trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). Amniocentesis is done between 15 weeks and 20 weeks of pregnancy.

Answers

Answer:

a high-energy molecule that is used by every cell in the body as an energy carrier.

Answer:

A high energy molecule that is used by every cell in the body as an energy carrier.

Explanation:

Adenosine triphosphate, also known as the "energy currency" of the cell is an organic molecule that readily supplies energy to the cells to carry out metabolic and catabolic functions. This molecule consists of a nitrogenous base known as adenine, ribose sugar, and three phosphate molecules. The hydrolysis of ATP provides energy for muscle contraction, nerve impulses, signaling for hereditary materials like DNA and RNA, as well as phosphorylation.

What is conjugation?

During bacterial conjugation, genetic material is transferred from one bacterial cell to another through a structure called a pilus (plural: pili). Pili are thin, hair-like projections that extend from the surface of the bacterial cell and are used for a variety of purposes, including adherence to surfaces and transfer of genetic material. When two bacterial cells are in close proximity to one another, one of the cells can extend a pilus towards the other cell.

The pilus will then make contact with the recipient cell and transfer a small piece of DNA, known as a plasmid, across the intercellular space. This process allows bacteria to exchange genetic material, which can lead to the acquisition of new traits and the spread of antibiotic resistance. Capsules, cell walls, and the surrounding medium are not involved in the transfer of genetic material during bacterial conjugation.

3. Which of the following represents correctly paired nitrogen bases? (a) Adenine- Cytosine; (b) Cytosine-Thymine; (c) Guanine-Thymine; (d) Guanine-Cytosine.

Answers

Answer: The option that correctly represents paired nitrogen bases is D ( Guanine-Cytosine)

Explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid( DNA) is found in chromosomes which are located in the nucleus of cells. One of its main functions is to store the organism's hereditary traits and direct the day to day metabolic activities of each cell in the organism.

The DNA molecule consists of two strands that curve spirally to form a double helix structure which consists of:

--> phosphate,

--> A sugar called deoxyribose, and

--> Four nitrogenous bases—adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine

The four different NITROGEN BASES pair together in a way known as complementary pairing. ADENINE always pairs with THYMINE, and CYTOSINE always pairs with GUANINE.This is because of their molecular structures. Each base contains one or two nitrogen rings, which makes it long or short. It also has a sticky end of binding sites that connects with exactly one other base.

--> Adenine is long and has two binding sites.

--> Thymine is short and has two binding sites.

--> Guanine is long and has three binding sites.

--> Cytosine is short and has three binding sites.

From the above analysis, GUANINE can only bind to CYTOSINE.

What is the difference between the rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

Answers

The most basic difference between RER and SER is the presence of ribosomes. When ribosomes attach to the surface of an ER, it gives a characteristic rough appearance; hence it is called Rough ER. On the other hand, a smooth ER does not have ribosomes on its surface. It possesses ribosomes attached to its membrane.

RER Has ribosomes lining it, SER does not

Determine the new concentration, in mg/mL, of the starch solution you diluted in the Erlenmeyer flask. Recall from the Procedures that there are 20 mg/mL of starch in the 2% solution. Use that to determine the milligrams of starch in the diluted starch solution. Then, divide the milligrams of starch by the total volume of the solution, which includes the water plus the starch solution. Record your results for use in future questions.
a. 2 mg/mL
b. 0.05 mg/mL
c. 0.2 mg/mL
d. 10 mg/mL

Answers

Answer:

0.05 mg/mL  ( B )

Explanation:

Given data:

20 mg/ml starch

2% solution = 2g of solute is in 100g of solvent

Determine the new concentration in mg/ml

Dilution equation = C1V1 = C2V2

new concentration ; applying the dilution factor

dilution factor = 1 : 400 ; ( 2 /400 )g = 0.005 g of solute is present in every  100 mL

∴ new concentration = 0.00005 g / 1 mL * ( 1000 mg / 1g ) = 0.05 mg/mL
