Gene flow or migration is the transfer of alleles or genes from one population to another. Select the combination of facts that

indicate the occurrence of gene flow in the Fugate family.
I. Four of the Fugate's seven children had blue complexions.
II. Travel in and out of this area was rare in the 1800's, but is more common now.
III. According to doctors, occurrence of the condition is rarely seen anymore.

The correct answer to this question is B. Some members of the Fugate family had a genetic condition called methemoglobinemia, that gave a blue color to their skin. The gene causing this disease is an autosomal recessive gene, so to have this condition you need to be homozygotes for this recessive gene. Gene flow was prevalent in the Fugate family since not all of the children had blue complexion, but only four of them. The three children that did not have blue complexion, had the dominant allele, probably through gene migration from another population nearby. Also, since it is easier nowadays to travel, two separate populations could meet more easily. This increases the incidence of gene flow and explains the reduction of the occurrence of the condition.

Answer:

Option B , I. and III.

Explanation:

From statement I and III, it is clear that four children out of seven children suffer from blue skin complexion which is not something very common to occur in a family without any hereditary background. Also the doctors claimed that blue skin issue is rarely seen these days. Thus, there are high chances of acquiring this problem from ancestors (affected or non-affected (carriers))

Therefore, both options I and III depict that some where the origin of blue skin disorder is associated with hereditary of the family.  

Hence, option B is correct

What role can exosomes play in disease treatment? who can tell me detailed information? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in

Answer:

Exosomes as Therapeutic Target

Given the fact that elevated exosome levels are often correlated with greater severity of different types of cancer, reducing circulating exosomes to normal levels is one of therapeutic strategies to increase treatment efficacy. There are different approaches to modulate exosome production: 1) Inhibition of exosome formation: inhibit crucial proteins involved in exosome formation pathway; 2) Inhibition of exosome release: inhibit important regulators of exosome release process, increased intracellular Ca2+, change cellular microenvironmental pH; 3) Inhibition of exosome uptake: add proteinase for surface proteins on exosomes may serve as receptors for uptake pathways. In addition to control exosomes production, removal of exosomes from the entire circulatory system might be a novel strategy for cancer treatment.

Exosomes could also be used as cancer immunotherapy becasue tumor-derived exosomes carry antigens that is a great source of specific stimulus for the immune response against tumors. Both tumor-derived and dendritic cell-derived exosomes have showed capability to stimulate tumor antigen-specific responses in experimental animal models and human clinical trials.

Exosomes as Targeted Drug Delivery Vehicles

Exosomes became one of the most common methods applied in drug delivery system because of several advantages they have. Firstly, exosomes normally have a small size 40-100 nm, which is more homogenous compared to other microvesicles. This will lead them to evade rapid clearance by the mononuclear phagocyte and enhances passage through fenestrations in the vessel wall. Secondly, due to their endogenous origin, they are less toxic for and better tolerated by the immune system. It facilitates them to avoid causing side effects that normally occur with synthetic nanoparticles. Additionally, the specific ligand or protein expressed on the exosome surface increases efficiency of cargo into the cytosol of the target cell, and therefore fewer off-target effects. Exosomes are generally found most useful as a drug delivery medium in cancer therapy, anti-inflammation and gene interference therapy such as transferring of miRNA.

There are different kinds of cargos encapsulated by exosomes, especially like siRNA or miRNA. The delivery of RNA is attracting because they are rapid degradation in cell circulation and have the limitation in passing through the membrane and in cellular uptake. Chemotherapeutics loaded into exosomes is also used for cancer therapy such as doxorubicin. In principle, there are four key components to achieve correct functionality and efficacy during exosomes drug delivery:1) Choosing the donor cell type to produce drug-carrying exosomes; 2) Using correspond methods to encapsulate the exosomes cargo; 3) Enhancing the specificity of cargo delivery by targeting peptides on the surface of the exosomes; 4) Administrating exosomes to target the area of disease.

How do cells separate from each other?
Aliun [14]

There are two types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Most of the time when people refer to “cell division,” they mean mitosis, the process of making new body cells. Meiosis is the type of cell division that creates egg and sperm cells.

Mitosis is a fundamental process for life. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells. Because this process is so critical, the steps of mitosis are carefully controlled by a number of genes. When mitosis is not regulated correctly, health problems such as cancer can result.

The other type of cell division, meiosis, ensures that humans have the same number of chromosomes in each generation. It is a two-step process that reduces the chromosome number by half—from 46 to 23—to form sperm and egg cells. When the sperm and egg cells unite at conception, each contributes 23 chromosomes so the resulting embryo will have the usual 46. Meiosis also allows genetic variation through a process of DNA shuffling while the cells are dividing.
