What can gene therapies potentially do to treat cystic fibrosis?

Biology

Lera25 [3.4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer is B make cells produce a functional CFTR protein.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis is a disease that is caused due to the mutation in the transmembrane protein known as cystic fibrosis trans membrane conductance regulator or CFTR. Cystic fibrosis trans membrane regulator proteins helps in the formation of thin mucus and due to the mutation in CFTR the mucus becomes thick.The disease cystic fibrosis basically affect the respiratory system.

 If gene therapy is used to treat cystic fibrosis then it can replace the mutated CFTR gene with a functional one so that the cell containing CFTR gene can produce functional CFTR protein.

A receptor can directly open a channel and thereby exert a(n) ____ effect, or it can produce slower but longer ____ effects.​
svlad2 [7]

Answer: ​ionotropic; metabotropic

Explanation:

A receptor can directly open the channel and exerts an ionotropic effect. The ionotropic effect takes place by the help of ionotropic receptors. These receptors are membrane bound receptor proteins which responds by the bonding of the ligand.

Due to ligand binding the channel opens and allows the movement of ions into the cells which helps in either increasing or decreasing the action potential.

The receptors can also bind to the ligand and produce metabotropic effect which means by the second messenger.

Fofino [41]

Answer:

<h2>Interphase : divided into three phases, i) G1 phase, ii) S phase and iii) G2 phase.</h2><h2>Mitotic phase: i) prophase, ii) metaphase, iii) anaphase and v) telophase.</h2>

Explanation:

interphase : divided into three phases, i) G1 phase, ii) S phase and iii) G2 phase.

G1 phase: cell decide whether to divide or not and prepare itself for replication of DNA and arrange replication machinery.  otherwise it goes to G 0 phase.

S phase: DNA replication occurs in this phase.

G2 phase: cell duplicates all their contents and prepares for mitotic phase.

Mitotic phase:

i) prophase- chromosome condensation occurs,

ii) metaphase - chromosome arranges in meta-plate and spindle binds to each chromosomes  at centromere.

iii) anaphase- chromosome separates from sister chromatids.

iv) telophase- chromosome moves to each ends and formation of nuclear membrane begins.

cytokinesis:  there is division of cytoplasm and forming two daughter cells.

Grace [21]

Answer:

Dissolve 47.025 grams of sucrose in enough water to produce 250 ml of solution.

Explanation:

You need to prepare 250. mL of a 0.550 M aqueous solution of sucrose, C12H22O11 (aq),

which is used frequently in biological experiments.

Based on your answer above, what is the value of x?

Solution:

A 0.550 M aqueous solution contains 0.550 mole of sucrose per liter of solution.

250 ml = 0.250 liter

Thus a 0.250 liter of a 0.550 M aqueous solution of sucrose contains 0.250 * 0.550 = 0.1375 mole of sucrose

Recall:

Mass = number of moles * mass of 1 mole

mass of 1 mole of C12H22O11

= 12(12) + 1(22) + 16(11)

= 144 + 22 + 176

= 342 grams

Mass = 0.1375 * 342 = 47.025 grams of sucrose.

Dissolve 47.025 grams of sucrose in enough water to produce 250 ml of solution.

Which is most necessary for specialization among producers to take place?
ruslelena [56]
It is the Free trade. A typical contention against free trade is the decrease of residential employments from the expansion in imported products from global nations. Free trade is exemplified by the European Economic Area and the Mercosur, which have built up open markets.
