Hatshy [7]3 years ago

Answer:

The stem cells possess two cardinal characteristics, that is, self-renewal and differentiation. The examples are embryonic stem cells and hematopoietic stem cells. The genetically determined immunodeficiency in a person is generally a result of the defective gene in the hematopoietic stem cells that produce red blood cells, white blood cells, and other components of blood.  

The examples of genetically determined immunodeficiency diseases are SCID, X-linked Agammaglobulinemia, and others. The individual suffering from genetically determined immunodeficiency exhibits a defective gene in hematopoietic stem cells. There are two methods of treatment, that is, stem cell therapy and gene therapy.  

The procedure of stem cell transplantation generally comprises HLA matching, in which the main step is to prevent graft rejection. It is succeeded by harvesting of hematopoietic stem cells from the HLA matched donor. The step of conditioning is performed to eradicate the recipient HSCs by radiotherapy and chemotherapy succeeded by the transfer of harvested donor HSCs to the patient or the recipient.  

A person cannot receive his own stem cells as his or her each and every cell is defective in that specific gene accountable for the disease.

Which of the following descriptions about RNA is not correct?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a. "Double-stranded regions of RNA typically take on an B-form right-handed helix".

Explanation:

Most of the native double-stranded DNA is on an B-form right-handed helix, following the structure proposed by Watson and Crick with about 10–10.5 base pairs per turn. However, double-stranded RNA does not follow this structure, and most regions have an A-form structure. The A-form right-handed helix have slightly more base pairs per turn, which makes it 20-25% shorter than B-DNA.
