Who is most at risk of spinal cord injury because of preexisting degenerative disorders?

miskamm [114]3 years ago

Elderly people are most at risk from minor trauma that results in serious spinal cord injury because of preexisting degenerative vertebral disorders. Males are more prone to spinal cord injuries than females but not as a result of preexisting disorder. This may be related to an increased involvement in contact sports or a propensity to participate in high risk activities. Neither females nor infants are at any particular risk for spinal cord injuries.

What is the difference between DNA, chromatin, and Chromosomes?
Serhud [2]
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the hereditary material that lies within the nucleus of all cells in humans and other living organisms. Most of the DNA is placed within the nucleus and is called nuclear DNA.

A chromosome is made up of two chromatids which are joined by the centromere. The chromatids separate from each other during mitosis to form two new chromosomes. The DNA making up a chromosome is dispersed as chromatin.

Under a microscope, chromatids look like little dots and chromosomes are lines.

Brut [27]

Answer: To kill the bacteria causing the illness

Explanation:

When a person takes antibiotics, the bacteria causing diseases will be severely hampered in its operations which will lead to the symptoms of the disease reducing. The bacteria will not die until the drug is taken as prescribed which is why the full dosage must be taken.

If it is not, the bacteria can regain strength and start causing sickness again except this time, it may grow an immunity to the antibiotics which means that an even stronger dosage of antibiotics will be needed.
