You suspect that a serious developmental disorder is due to a chromosome abnormality and prepare a karyotype from an affected in

dividual. In analyzing the karyotype, how could you distinguish trisomy from a chromosome structural defect such as a duplication?
The chromosome number in trisomy would be normal; in a duplication, there would be one more chromosome.

In both cases there would be an extra chromosome, but in trisomy there would be three chromatids on one chromosome and in a duplication there would be two chromatids on one chromosome.

In trisomy there would be one extra chromosome; in a duplication, the number of chromosomes would be normal, but one chromosome would have two copies of a portion of the chromosome.

The chromosome number in both cases would be normal, but in trisomy there would be three chromatids on one chromosome and in a duplication there would be two chromatids on one chromosome.

The correct answer is: In trisomy there would be one extra chromosome; in a duplication, the number of chromosomes would be normal, but one chromosome would have two copies of a portion of the chromosome.  

Trisomy is a type of polysomy (chromosome aberration with extra number of chromosome/s) and also type of aneuploidy (an abnormal number of chromosomes).

Instead of the normal two (one from mother one from father) chromosomes, people with trisomy have three chromosomes. This condition occurs when chromosome pairs fail to separate properly during cell division.

Duplication, on the other hand, usually refers to a region of DNA that is being duplicated. This condition occurs as products of several types of errors in DNA replication and repair machinery.

What second messenger most directly causes calcium ions to be released from intracellular stores?
NemiM [27]

Answer: adenylyl cyclase inositol triphosphate mainly known as IP3 causes the release of Calcium ions directly from the inracellular stores and causea contraction.

Explanation:

IP3, inositol phosphate is a second messenger a signaling molecule. It is made by hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), a phospholipid that is located in the plasma membrane, by an enzyme phospholipase C.

IP3 binds to the calcium channels and opens Ca2+ channels that are embedded in the ER membrane, releasing Ca2+ into the cytosol. Calcium ions released may cause contraction and regulate the Ca2+ channels in the membranes.

Aldosterone ________. A) is secreted by the posterior pituitary B) functions to increase sodium reabsorption C) presence increas
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Option B) functions to increase sodium reabsorption.

Explanation:

Aldosterone is an hormone secreted by the cortex of the adrenal gland. The adrenal gland is situated at the superior poles of the right and left kidneys.

Aldosterone regulates sodium homeostasis and as such helps to control blood volume and blood pressure.

Aldosterone is secreted in response to decreased blood pressure (hypotension) to increase sodium reabsorption from urine, sweat, and the gut. Also excessive aldosterone levels (too high sodium) can lead to high blood pressure (hypertension).
