Mr. Q reported that he frequently gets sick. Which of the following statements is not true explaining why excess alcohol consump

tion would cause a person to get sick more frequently?
a. Excess alcohol consumption displaces food, which can lead to a protein deficiency.
b. The absorption of zinc is impaired, creating a zinc deficiency, which will negatively affect the immune response, making infections more likely.
c. Thiamin absorption is impaired causing a thiamin deficiency, weakening the body's defense against infections.
d. Alcohol provides kcalories, but the kcalories are empty of nutrients, including protein.
e. Excess alcohol slows down the synthesis of proteins such as antibodies, which are needed for immune system function.

Answer:

None of the options

Explanation:

Excess alcohol consumption displaces nutrient-filled food with empty calories (i.e calories void of nutrients). In fact, the body process alcohol as fat, thereby causes weight gain which cannot be attributed to good health.

Nutrients in food such as proteins, thiamine and zinc are very important in the production of the bodies defenses (antibodies) which helps the body to fight diseases and in stress conditions. The body with a weakened immune system, is therefore prone to diseases as the body cannot naturally fight diseases effectively on its own.

Why are genomes important to the development of vaccines
Cerrena [4.2K]
Vaccines are the most efficacious means of minimizing the impact of infectious diseases on the human population. The challenges and importance of making vaccines that will meet FDA approval have never been greater. Genomics has the potential to improve the process of vaccine development substantially. Genome sequencing can help to identify genetic patterns related to the virulence of a disease, as well as genetic factors that contribute to immunity or successful vaccine response. All this information could lead to vaccines with better and more specific targets that elicit more successful protective immune responses. Comparing the genome sequences of viruses that cause infection with those that do not may provide additional insights. In turn, genome manipulation can facilitate derivation of attenuated strains or other vehicles for delivery of the desired antigens to stimulate immune response. On the other end of the spectrum, analysis of host diversity can reveal effective immune responses and possibly the genetic basis for inappropriate response. The recent progress in definition of the innate immune system, necessary for acquired response, should facilitate the definition of this host diversity.

What happens in interphase?
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

In interphase cell grow in size, DNA and protein synthesis takes place.

Explanation:

Interphase is the longest phase in the cell cycle and contain three sub phases and one checkpoint at the end of every checkpoint.

G₁ phase: In this phase the size of the cell increases and nearly becomes double, the raw material for DNA synthesis is synthesised e.g: mRNA and proteins(histone).

S phase: In synthesis phase replication of DNA takes place and amount of DNA become double so that it can be evenly distributed between daughter cells.

G₂ phase: In this phase cell continues to grow and synthesize proteins. cell prepare itself to move in mitotic phase so it can divide.
