URGENT!!! How does body weight affect bone density?

Biology
1 answer:
Molodets [167]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation: Body weight is directly associated with bone mineral density (BMD). A low body mass index (BMI) has been identified as an important risk factor for lower BMD and predicts greater bone loss in older age (118, 138) and in younger persons in the absence of menses and/or an eating disorder (113).

Hope it helps!

Travka [436]

By haphazardly introducing a transgene harboring a disease-causing mutant variant of the HTT gene into the genome of a mouse or primate, it is possible to produce an animal model with the majority of the symptoms of this condition. Here option B is the correct answer.

Huntington's disease is an uncommon, genetic condition that results in the gradual degeneration of brain nerve cells. Huntington's illness, which frequently results in mobility, cognitive, and psychological problems, has a substantial impact on a person's functional capacities.

A DNA region known as a CAG trinucleotide repeat is involved in the HTT mutation that causes Huntington's disease. Three DNA-building building pieces that are repeated several times in a row make up this region.

Complete question:

Huntington's disease is a dominant disease caused by the expansion of the trinucleotide repeat region of the Htt gene that results in the production of a Huntingtin protein with an expanded number of glutamines. An animal model with most features of this syndrome could be created by

A - knocking in a wild-type copy of the Htt gene to a mouse or primate genome.

B - randomly inserting a transgene containing a wild-type allele of the Htt gene to a mouse or primate genome.

C - randomly inserting a transgene containing a disease-causing mutant allele of the Htt gene into a mouse or primate genome

D - knocking out one copy of the wild-type Htt gene from a mouse or primate genome.

E - knocking out both copies of the wild-type Htt gene from a mouse or primate genome.

<h3>⇝ <u>Epidermis</u> :</h3>

Protective tissues includes epidermis & cork. Epidermis is basically a simple permanent tissue, protective in function. It forms one-cell-thick covering over all the parts of plant.

<h3>⇝ <u>Characteristics of Epidermis</u> : </h3>
  • Epidermis is formed of living cells, arranged in a single layer.

  • In aerial parts, epidermis is covered with a waterproof and noncellular waxy covering called cuticle.

  • Cells form a continuous layer, but in leaves epidermis has small openings called stomata.

  • Each stoma is guarded by a pair of bean-shaped guard cells which govern opening & closing of stomatal aperture.

<h3>⇝ <u>Functions of Epidermis</u> :</h3>
  • Epidermis protects the underlying tissues from mechanical injury, chemicals & infection.

  • Cuticle of epidermis protects against water loss & desiccation. It checks the rate of transpiration & evaporation and prevents wilting.

  • Stomata in the epidermis of leaves help in gaseous exchange during respiration & photosynthesis.
