In familial hypercholesterolemia, individuals homozygous for the allele causing the disorder completely lack receptors on liver
cells that take up cholesterol from the blood stream. Heterozygotes have one-half the number of receptors while individuals homozygous for the normal allele are phenotypically normal. This is an example of:
A inheritance pattern that is characterized by pattern in which the one allele is not completely dominant over the its recessive variant of the allele and due to its incomplete dominance a third phenotype expressed over, termed as the incomplete dominance.
In the case of the familial hypercholesterlemia, it is genetic disorder in which the individual lacks the receptors on liver cells remove cholesterol from the blood. This condition occur in the homozygous allele case. In normal people have receptors normal while in heterozygous condition individual have half of the total receptors.
Isotonic. An isotonic solution has the same concentration of solutes both inside and outside the cell. For example, a cell with the same concentration of salt inside it as in the surrounding water/fluid would be said to be in an isotonic solution.
The ethical consideration that must be focused on before administering to humans these protein products that are produced in bacteria is the effect it will have on the body. Each human body reacts differently. Some may not present side effects, but some will do. Hope this helps.
