Unequal crossing over during Prophase I can result in one sister chromosome with a deletion and another with a duplication. A mutated form of hemoglobin, known as hemoglobin Lepore, is known in the human population. Hemoglobin Lepore has a deleted set of amino acids. If it was caused by unequal crossing over, what would be an expected consequence?

A) There should also be persons whose hemoglobin contains two copies of the series of amino acids that is deleted in hemoglobin Lepore.

B) Each of the genes in the hemoglobin gene family must show the same deletion.

C) The deleted gene must have undergone exon shuffling.

D) The deleted region must be located in a different area of the individual's genome.

Answer:

A) There should also be persons whose hemoglobin contains two copies of the series of amino acids that is deleted in hemoglobin Lepore.

Explanation:

The process of crossing over generates recombinant chromatids that carry the exchanged genetic segments. In case of unequal crossing over, a part of the genetic segment is missing from one recombinant chromatid of a homologous chromosome and is inserted into the recombinant chromatid of the corresponding homologous chromosome. The gamete that obtains the chromosome with an additional genetic segment would give rise to a person carrying the duplicated amino acids that are otherwise missing from the chromosome of the person expressing hemoglobin Lepore.

During a myocardial infarction, proteins that are normally inside the cells leak into the plasma, due to.
Alex_Xolod [135]

During a myocardial infarction, proteins that are normally inside the cells leak into the plasma, due to loss of plasma membrane integrity.

<h3>Cardiac disorders and it's effects:</h3>

There are different types of cardiac or heart disorders that occurs due to different etiological origins.

Example of a cardiac disorder is the myocardial infarction.

Myocardial infarction is defined as the blockage of blood flow to the heart by the presence of blood clot.

This hinders the delivery of oxygen carried by the blood to tissue cells leading to apoptosis (which is a programmed cell death).

This will cause the plasma membrane of cells to lose its integrity leading to leaking of proteins into the plasma.

Your patient is in cardiac arrest and has been intubated. to assess cpr quality which should you do
belka [17]

To assess the CPR quality, once the tube has been inserted by one of your members, one should continue chest compressions so that it will help the patient to breathe and a way of giving assistance to the heart. The waveform in the capnogrophy screen should be assessed and to find out whether the CPR is working.

Assume the light wave directed at the paper is white light and the paper reflects the wavelengths of red-orange-yellow-green-blu
Tanzania [10]
If you apply white light and it reflects only red, you see it red, all the other wavelentghs absorbed. If it reflects all wavelength (i think listed all red-orange....) then it should be white.
