The stethoscope is a device commonly used by doctors to monitor heart function. When listening to a heart beating using a stetho

scope, the doctor hears the characteristic "lub-dub" sounds. The lub sound represents the (1)____ of the atrioventricular valves and the dub sound represents the closure of the valves between (2)____.
1. closing or opening
2. the arteries and atria, the ventricles and arteries, or the atria and ventricles

Doctors can also use stethoscopes to monitor respiratory function. A wheezing or whistling sound most likely indicates (3)____

3. blocked sinuses, an inactive diaphragm, or a constricted trachea

Answer:

The correct answers are:

1. closing

2. the ventricles and arteries,

3. a constricted trachea

Lub is the first sound of a heartbeat and is mentioned as S1. It is usually produced due to the closing of tricuspid and and mitral or bicuspid valves present between atria and ventricles.

Tricupsid is located between atrium and ventricle of the right hand side and mitral valve is located between atrium and ventricle of the left hand side. They prevent the back flow of blood from ventricles to their respective atria.

Dub, being the second sound is written as S2. It is produced due to the closing of pulmonary (located between right ventricle and pulmonary artery) and aortic valves (located between left artery and aorta).

These valves prevent the back flow of blood from arteries into the ventricles.

The time between the two sounds is often taken as the measure of the diastole i.e. ventricular filling.

Wheezing refers to a high-pitched sound produced when a person breathes, especially during exhale. It is caused by constriction of the airways or inflammation. It is considered as a symptom of various diseases such as asthma, COPD, allergies, bronchitis etc.

The Earth takes a year to orbit around the Sun. What about the Moon?
Lesechka [4]

Answer

<em>C. The Moon orbits the Earth about once a month</em>

Over billions of years the earth’s gravitational field has tidally locked the moon in orbit so that its rotation about its axis is the same as that of its orbit around the earth.

This process is still continuing as the earth transfers some of its angular momentum to the moon lifting it to a higher orbit by a couple of centimeters a year. As it rises, its takes a fraction longer to complete an orbit, and its rotational speed slows down slightly to match.

The eventual conclusion of this is that the earth also would become tidally locked to the moon, and they will both face each other permanently. But this is going to take that long that the sun will probably have destroyed both the earth and the moon in its red giant phase before this happens.

The CRISPR/Cas9 system can cleave genomic DNA at sequences other than the desired target, a phenomenon referred to as off target
Deffense [45]

Answer:

The minimum length of a sgRNA sequence to avoid off target cleavage by the CRISPR/Cas system in the fly fruit genome is 14 bases

Explanation:

We are trying to use the CRISPR/Cas system to cleavage the genome of the fruit fly (which is 1.4x10^8 bp long). Also we desire the cleavage to be unique. That means we need a target sequence long enough to be able to assume it will only appear once in the genome.

First, we should think that in every position, we can find one out of four different nucleotide (A, C, T, G). So, the probability of getting a sequence of a given length "n" will be (1/4)^n (We are assuming that the probability of finding a nucleotide in the position "i", it's independent of the nucleotide we find in any other position "j").

Also, to know how many times a sequence will appear in a genome (the expected value of occurrence), we must multiply the probability of that sequence to randomly occur by the length of the genome. For our specific example, the number of occurence of a sequence of length "n" is:

nºoccurence=[(1/4)^n]*1.4*10^8

But in this case, what we want is the expected number of times the sequence will appear to be 1, and we want to obtain the length of the target sequence (n).

Given the information above, we know that:

[(1/4)^n]*1.4*10^8 =1

[(1/4)^n]=(1/1.4*10^8)=1.4*10^-8

Then, if we want to calculate n, we can use logarithms and its properties to get:

log[(1/4)^n]=log[1.4*10^-8]

n*log[(1/4)]=log[1.4*10^-8]

n=log[1.4*10^-8]/log[(1/4)] => n=13.29 approximately.

As the sequence needs to have a natural number of elements, <u>we can conclude that using a target sequence of a minimum of 14 bases with the CRISPR/Cas system in the fly fruit genome should be enough to avoid off target cleavage.</u>
