Macrophages digest the invading bacteria and viruses with the digestive enzymes found in cellular organelles called
Nataly_w [17]
Lysozyme which is found in the lysosomes. They function at a relatively low pH and are so because if they functioned at physiological pH they would digest the cell. But in this case, they are in the lysosomes where they are safe and at a lower pH so when the vesicles open they can emit hydrogen ions and the lysozyme to digest the foreign material.

A young man recently learned from a genetics doctor that he had a condition called Friedreich's ataxia. This syndrome affects th
liberstina [14]

Answer: Friedreich ataxia is a genetic condition that affects the nervous system and causes movement problems. People with this condition develop impaired muscle coordination (ataxia) that worsens over time. Other features of this condition include the gradual loss of strength and sensation in the arms and legs; muscle stiffness (spasticity); and impaired speech, hearing, and vision. Individuals with Friedreich ataxia often have a form of heart disease called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which enlarges and weakens the heart muscle and can be life-threatening. Some affected individuals develop diabetes or an abnormal curvature of the spine (scoliosis).

Most people with Friedreich ataxia begin to experience the signs and symptoms of the disorder between ages 5 and 15. Poor coordination and balance are often the first noticeable features. Affected individuals typically require the use of a wheelchair about 10 years after signs and symptoms appear.

About 25 percent of people with Friedreich ataxia have an atypical form in which signs and symptoms begin after age 25. Affected individuals who develop Friedreich ataxia between ages 26 and 39 are considered to have late-onset Friedreich ataxia (LOFA). When the signs and symptoms begin after age 40 the condition is called very late-onset Friedreich ataxia (VLOFA). LOFA and VLOFA usually progress more slowly than typical Friedreich ataxia.

A woman has blood Type A, her baby has blood Type AB: Is it possible that a man who has the blood Type A could be the father? Sh
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

No, it is not possible

Explanation:

Humans use the ABO blood group system where the A and B alleles are dominant over allele O but codominant with one another.

This system is such that;

Type A can only have genotype: iAiA or iAi

Type B can only have genotype: iBiB or iBi

Type AB can only have genotype: iAiB

Type O can only have genotype: ii

According to this question, a woman has blood Type A (iAiA or iAi) and her baby has blood Type AB (iAiB). This means that the father definitely contributed the allele B in order to have a baby with type AB. It also means that, according to the question, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR A "Type A" father to produce that baby (see the punnet square attached).

Note: The father must contain an allele B in his genotype i.e. the father must be either type B (iBiB or iBi) or type AB (iAiB)
