In developed nations people have more fast food options which lead to cardiovascular disease. As well as screen time all day since this is one of the factors of cardiovascular disease. Undeveloped nations don't have fast-food or television to watch all day, since they play outside.

In developed nations, people tend to live longer and healthier lives. There is so much less war/violent act related deaths in developed nations than in other areas of the world. Also, quality pre-natal care and standardized childhood vaccinations prevent many diseases and early deaths. On that same note, relatively accessible healthcare and medications prevent early deaths as well. Lastly, endemic areas tend to have very high rates of infectious diseases (think malaria, HIV, shigellosis) due to lack of clean running water, proper hygiene, proper education, accessible medications/vaccinations, etc. So, why then, do developed nations have more cardiovascular and degenerative diseases? Well, the point I am approaching is that these kind of illnesses are diseases of old age-in third world countries there are much fewer people that ever live to see the age where they may develop heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, cancer, etc.

Describe the most common molecular mechanism for recessively inherited human genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis.
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder. When the child receives the defective gene from both of his parents, he suffers from cystic fibrosis. Because his parents are carriers. In recessive genetic disorder, the genes will be expressed when both recessive genes are present in one person. The person suffering from this disease have a lung infection and pancreatic dysfunction.  

In this cystic fibrosis, genes are located in chromosome 7. The effective gene is the CFTR gene. The CFTR gene is present in the DNA and by transcription, this forms CFTR protein. This is a channel protein and transports chloride ion.

This CFTR protein transports chloride ions and it makes a balance in the cell membrane. These genes are commonly present in the epithelial cells. Outside the epithelial mucus is present to keep the cells moist.

The epithelium gets a lack of water and chloride due to the defect. Therefore cells need CFTR proteins also. This causes lung infection and pancreatic disorder.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

Even when equilibrium is reached, particles of a solution will continue to move across the membrane in both directions. However, because almost equal numbers of particles move in each direction, there is no further change in concentration.
