Truncated titin proteins and titin haploinsufficiency are targets for functional recovery in human cardiomyopathy due to TTN mut

ations
Biology

Lynna [10]1 year ago
4 0

Truncating mutations in TTN, the gene encoding the titin protein, cause 15 to 25% of nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), however it is unclear whether this is due to haploinsufficiency or the presence of truncated titin proteins.

<h3>What is TTN gene?</h3>

The TTN gene codes for the production of titin, a massive protein. This protein is crucial in both the muscles used for movement (skeletal muscles) and the heart (cardiac muscle). Different muscles produce somewhat different copies of titin (known as isoforms).

Titin is a necessary component of structures called sarcomeres within muscle cells. Sarcomeres are the fundamental components of muscular contraction; they are composed of proteins that produce the mechanical force required for muscles to contract. Titin has numerous purposes within sarcomeres. One of the primary functions of the protein is to provide shape, flexibility, and stability to these cell structures. Titin interacts with other muscle proteins, such as actin and myosin, to maintain sarcomere components in place while muscles contract.

How can histograms help you describe a population? Use the word bank above to help you explain your answer.
krek1111 [17]

Answer: It shows the distribution of the population with respect to a characteristic, quantitative and continuous, such as the weight or height of a population. It is used to determine the degree of homogeneity of the values studied, or to see the degree of variability, and therefore, the dispersion of all the values taken by the parts.

Explanation:

A histogram is a graphical representation of a variable using bars. In such a bar, <u>its area is proportional to the frequency of the values represented</u>. Thus, it shows the distribution of the population, or of the sample, with respect to a characteristic, quantitative and continuous, such as the weight or height of a population. It is used to determine the degree of homogeneity of the values studied, or to see the degree of variability, and therefore, the dispersion of all the values taken by the parts.

In order to construct a histogram first we need to have a frequency table with all the information. On the abscissa axis (horizontal axis) the intervals are placed from smallest to largest.  On the ordinate axis (vertical axis), the absolute frequencies of each of the intervals are represented.  Then, the rectangular bars of equal width are drawn, and the height represents the absolute frequency. All bars touch the bars next to each other, unless an interval has zero frequency (the height of the bar will also be zero).

<u>Thus, histograms are used to describe populations since they represent a variable and in what proportion of the population it is found.</u>

sergejj [24]

Answer:

There is no diagram but

It would be A if you were looking at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

It would be B if you were looking at a mitochondrion.

I do not remember what C is, so if it is not the ER, Golgi apparatus, or the mitochondrion, it is most likely C.

It would be D if you were looking at a Golgi apparatus
