Answer:

The old idea that coronary heart disease is an infectious disease has gained popularity in recent years, and both viral and bacterial pathogens have been proposed to be associated with the inflammatory changes seen in atherosclerosis. Herpes group viruses, notably cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex type 1, have been associated with atherosclerosis and restenosis. Helicobacter pylori and dental infections have also been linked to atherogenesis, but the evidence seems to favor a respiratory, obligatory intracellular bacterium, Chlamydia pneumoniae. The association was originally found in seroepidemiological studies, but the actual presence of the pathogen in atherosclerotic lesions has been repeatedly demonstrated, and during past year the first successful animal experiments and encouraging preliminary intervention studies were published. The causal relationship has not yet been proven, but ongoing large intervention trials and continuing research on pathogenetic mechanisms may lead to the use of antimicrobial agents in the treatment of coronary heart disease in the future.

In the figure showing gene expression , what should replace label b ?

xz_007 [3.2K]

The correct answer is C. Translation.

The given figure is the scheme of the gene expression. It provides the flow of genetic information from a DNA sequence to a protein synthesis inside cells. This process of flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA is called transcription and the process of flow of genetic information from RNA to protein is called translation.

Thus in given figure label A is to be replaced by transcription and label B is to replace by translation.

What does it mean when the homeobox genes are said to be highly conserved?

Allushta [10]

Highly conserved genes are important for normal function of the organism of every species from prokaryotes to eukaryotes. So such genes do not mutate easily and are highly preserved.
