Nowadays, different countries are constantly emerging and
expanding their liabilities which may include the field of medicine. The
disease that is being discussed by the instructor that is considered nearly
eradicated is probably the measles. This disease is caused by Paramyxovirus which
is a major respiratory pathogen among infants and young children. Measles is
also known as “rubeola virus”, an acute, highly respiratory symptoms and a
maculopapular rash that affects the mouth, head, body and extremities. It
begins with the appearance of Koplik spots which may end up to some
complications like symptomatic encephalitis and subacute sclerosing
panencephalitis(SSPE). In order to prevent this type of disease MMR(Measles, Mumps
& Rubella) Vaccine is needed. According to some of the reports, it is still
common to some of the countries, but WHO campaigns to eradicate the disease worldwide
by the year 2020.
Answer:
Cystic fibrosis mutation is recessive to normal allele because only one functional or normal allele is enough to produce a functional protein. So, if mutation is present in one allele then also, a normal protein can be made from normal allele. The presence of normal protein prevents the expression of disease.
In addition, mutated allele only results in the loss of function of protein which can be compensated by the expression of normal allele. It does not add any toxic effect to the protein. Consequently, the disease is inherited in autosomal recessive fashion.
In contrast, Huntington mutation not only alters the structure of the functional protein but also adds toxicity to it. The altered protein is enable to interact with 100s of other proteins and inhibit or decrease their function. So, if only one allele is present then also, the mutated protein will be produced and it will result in the phenotype. Consequently, it is inherited as autosomal dominant fashion.
Answer:
Genus
Explanation:
Organism is a binomial name meaning it is made up of two words.
The correct answer is: A) pontine respiratory centers
The respiratory centre in the pons is responsible for generating and maintaining the rhythm of respiration. Besides this elementary function, it also has the ability to adjust respiration rhythm in c response to physiological changes. Respiratory centre consists of three major respiratory groups of neurons:
• The dorsal respiratory group (DRG)- initiates inspiration (inhalation)
• the ventral respiratory group (VRG)-responsible for exhalation
• Pontine respiratory group- includes the pneumotaxic (controls both the rate and the pattern of breathing) and apneustic centers (promotes inhalation by sending signals to dorsal group).
