SCA is a common monogenic blood disorder with potentially devastating consequences due to chronic and episodic disease; it has a massive impact on the health-care system and is linked to a significant reduction in life span.

We show that gene therapy with a lentivirus vector expressing γ-globin has the potential for a one-time cure and define the parameters required to cure the disease. We also show a preclinical in vivo method for determining the minimal amount of genetically corrected hematopoietic stem cells needed to correct disease, which is important in the design of clinical gene therapy trials.

The expression of the γ-globin gene in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) results in enough postnatal fetal hemoglobin (HbF) to correct sickle cell anemia (SCA) in the Berkeley "humanized" sickle mouse. We assessed critical parameters for correction after de-escalating the number of transduced HSCs in transplant recipients using reduced-intensity conditioning and varying gene transfer efficiency and vector copy number.

The minimal amount of HbF, F cells, HbF/F-cell, and gene-modified HSCs required for correcting the sickle phenotype was determined using a systematic quantification of functional and hematologic red blood cell (RBC) indices, organ pathology, and life span.

Alchen [17]

Answer: Option A.

The two types of chlorophyll are chlorophyll A and B.

Explanation:

Chlorophyll is the green pigments present in chloroplast (organelles) that is found in plants which is used for photosynthesis by reacting with carbon dioxide and water to produce carbohydrates. The two types of chlorophyll are; chlorophyii A and chlorophyll B.

Chlorophyll A is the primary photosynthetic pigment that absorb energy from blue- violet light and orange red lights wavelengths.

Chlorophyll B is the accessory pigment to receive energy and transmit it to chlorophyll A. Chlorophyll B absorbs energy from green lights wavelengths.

Why can’t the evolutionary relationships between certain species be explained thoroughly?
vredina [299]

Answer:

Phylogeny: It is related to evolution dealings in the evolutionary development of a species. It is represented by different ways vertical or slanted.  

Phylogenesis: It refers to the evolutionary relationships among species.  

Phylogenetics: It is determination or estimation of evolutionary relationships among groups of species, organisms and genes.  

Phylogenetics is a field of biology which is used to find relationships among different organisms. This relationship is showing through a tree (used to model actual evolutionary relationship of organisms). Ancestral divided into two descendant species because closely related organisms are shown in near branches. If there is too much divergence between two species its mean they are not closely related.  

The history of speciation (one species becomes divided into more than one new species) tells us how these species are related to each other. If they evolve to be separate species relatively recently then they are "closely relative" similarly if they evolve to be separate specie long above then they are "distant relatives". For example orthologs are genes in different species that evolved from common ancestor gene by speciation; they retain same function in the course of evolution.

Ray Of Light [21]

The fiber in diet pills, performs as a bulking mediator in the large intestine and not in the stomach. Diet pills should not be used in high doses, because diet pills come with different side effects, which causes illnesses, like heart attack or even stroke.

What is the evolutionary advantage of the heart having its own electrical system?
SpyIntel [72]
The heart’s electrical system is responsible for making and conducting signals that trigger the heart to beat. These signals cause the heart’s muscle to contract. With each contraction, blood is pumped throughout the body. This happens 24/7 without us having to monitor it all the time so that our heart does not stop.
