<h3>What are reptiles?</h3>

Reptiles are the animals in the class Reptilia, a paraphyletic grouping comprising all sauropsids except birds. Living reptiles comprise turtles, crocodilians, squamates and rhynchocephalians.

The marine iguana, also known as the sea iguana, saltwater iguana, or Galápagos marine iguana, is a type of iguana that can only be found in the Galapagos Islands. It is a marine reptile that can forage in the sea for algae, which accounts for nearly all of its diet, making it unique among modern lizards.

Turtles are a type of reptile known as a Testudine, and they have a shell made primarily of their ribs. The Pleurodira and Cryptodira groups of modern turtles are distinguished by the way their heads retract.

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

In carrying out these experimental procedure, the same restriction enzyme that is used to cut out the gene of interest should also be the same used for the cutting of the plasmid to generate sticky ends. Then the desired gene is inserted into the cut plasmid then treatment with DNA ligase. Purified DNA ligase is utilized in gene cloning to join/ligate DNA molecules together forming a recombinant DNA. Thus, step 3 should be carried out after step 4.

What happens in your body to cause you to get a fever?

andriy [413]

The presence of a fever is usually related to stimulation of the body's immune response. Fever can support the immune system's attempt to gain advantage over infectious agents, such as viruses and bacteria, and it makes the body less favorable as a host for replicating viruses and bacteria, which are temperature sensitive. Infectious agents are not the only causes of fever, however. Amphetamine abuse and alcohol withdrawal can both elicit high temperatures, for example. And environmental fevers--such as those associated with heat stroke and related illnesses--can also occur.

The hypothalamus, which sits at the base of the brain, acts as the body's thermostat. It is triggered by floating biochemical substances called pyrogens, which flow from sites where the immune system has identified potential trouble to the hypothalamus via the bloodstream. Some pyrogens are produced by body tissue; many pathogens also produce pyrogens. When the hypothalamus detects them, it tells the body to generate and retain more heat, thus producing a fever. Children typically get higher and quicker fevers, reflecting the effects of the pyrogens upon an inexperienced immune system.

Improved bone regeneration through amniotic membrane loaded with buccal fat pad-derived MSCs as an adjuvant in maxillomandibular

muminat

Mesenchymal stem cells and HAM together may improve bone repair, especially in the horizontal dimension. Additionally, this technology lessens secondary bone resorption and the quantity of collected autogenous bone.

HAM:

Background: Human amniotic membranes (HAMs), a biological membrane with potential for cell therapy, osteogenesis, and healing, have come under the spotlight as a way to improve the results of treating bone abnormalities. The goal of the current study is to clinically evaluate the possibility of HAM loaded with stem cells from the buccal fat pad (BFSCs) as an osteogenic covering for only bone transplants to maxillomandibular bone lesions.
Materials and methods: The current investigation included nine patients with jaw bone abnormalities. Iliac crest bone graft with HAM covering (n = 5) and iliac bone grafts coated with HAM loaded with BFSCs (n = 4) were the two study groups that the patients were divided into. Cone beam computed tomography was carried out for radio morphometric characterization five months after the grafting and before the installation of the implant.
Results: The mean increase in bone width was found to be significantly greater in the HAM + BFSCs group ( $4.42$ ± $1.03$ mm versus $3.07$ ± $0.73$ mm, p < $0.05$ ). Further, the changes in vertical dimension were greater in the HAM + BFSCs group ( $4.66$ ± $1.06$ mm versus $4.14$ ± $1.03$ mm, p > $0.05$ ).
