Dioxin, produced as a by-product of various industrial chemical processes, is suspected of contributing to the development of ca

ncer and birth defects in animals and humans. It apparently acts by entering cells by simple diffusion and binding to proteins in the cytoplasm, then altering the pattern of gene expression. What is likely to be the cytoplasmic proteins to which dioxin binds?

Answer: Transcription factors

Explanation:  

The dioxin enters the blood stream and the fat cells and liver cells store it.

While moving inside the cell the dioxin binds to the protein called Aryl hydrocarbon which then binds to the second receptor.  

The complex is then carried to the nucleus of the cell. This tends to on and off certain genes.

This turning on and off of the genes in the cell can lead to serious diseases like cancer, decreased immune function, et cetera.

How do you think predator and prey populations affect one another?
Svetach [21]
Predator and prey populations affect each other because if a predator of one prey kills that one animal than that animal dies and the prey decrease by one and when one predator dies from being killed or just naturally dying, then the predators decrease by one.

What type of nosocomial infection is likely to arise from intravenous catheterization?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The correct answer is c. Bacteremia

Explanation:

Nosocomial infection is a hospital-acquired infection. Intravenous catheterization is majorly used in hospitals for therapeutic purposes like drug administration, blood sampling, etc.  

These catheters are one of the major causes of nosocomial bacteremia in patients. Bacteremia is the condition in which bacteria is present in the blood.

So these catheter can be contaminated with bacteria which came from a patient and when they are used in another patient without proper sterilization they can transfer these bacteria to other patients blood which then cause nosocomial bacteremia.
