Which describes the partial pressures of systemic cells under resting conditions?

Biology

Irina18 [472]2 years ago
4 0

The conditions which describe the partial pressures of systemic cells under resting conditions are:

  • Relatively constant partial pressure of gases
  • PCO₂ of 45mm Hg, and
  • PO₂ of 40mm Hg

<h3>What are systemic cells?</h3>

Systemic cells are cells of the body which receive oxygen from the capillaries during respiration and gaseous exchange.

The systemic cells receive oxygen-laden blood from the capillaries and transfer carbon dioxide into the blood capillaries.

The conditions which describe the partial pressures of gases of systemic cells under resting conditions are as follows:

  • Relatively constant partial pressure of gases
  • Partial pressure of carbon dioxide, PCO₂ of 45mm Hg, and
  • Partial pressure of oxygen, PO₂ of 40mm Hg

In conclusion, the partial pressure of the gases in systemic cells under resting conditions are fairly constant.

Describe the process of altering the genetic variation of a cell using a genetically modified virus for human gene therapy. In t
Len [333]
In human gene therapy, a genetically modified virus (a.k.a. a viral vector) can alter the genetic variation of a cell, but not all viral vectors do.

The process often begins with the delivery of or creation of a segment of viral double stranded DNA (containing the gene you want to introduce). Then typically an enzyme known as an integrase cuts the ends of the segment of viral DNA and also cuts open the cell's DNA. Then the viral DNA is integrated/ inserted into the cell's DNA. The connecting ends are ligated together and adjusted so that the nucleotide base pairs match up.

This in the future may affect the gene pool for instance if the viral DNA (your gene) was inserted in the middle of another gene or important regulatory sequence of the cell DNA, and this alteration may be passed on into offspring and become present in the gene pool, which could have bad effects.

The effects on the gene pool really depends on what the virus ends up doing. For example, it may fix the function of a damaged gene which is the goal, and allow for a working gene to be in the gene pool, which would be good. The problem with gene therapy is that it's difficult to predict 100% what the virus will do every time it is given to a patient.

But it's very important to consider that it will only affect the gene pool if the virus is able to enter and alter germ cells (reproductive cells). If the virus, enters somatic cells (regular body cells) this will not be passed on to future generations. So viruses can be designed to avoid germ cells and avoid this gene pool issue. Also, some viral vectors use viruses that do not integrate their DNA, the cells just express the viral DNA (create the desired protein from it) and over time the viral DNA is degraded/ lost which wouldn't pose this threat.

This is long, but I hope it helped!
