Answer:
The correct answer would be
- It cures all cases of cystic fibrosis.
-
It involves the modification of DNA.
- It attempts to replace a mutated gene with normal DNA.
- It does not always cure patients who use it.
Gene therapy is an experimental technique used to treat the genetic disorder by transplanting the normal gene into the cell in order to replace the missing or defective gene in a cell.
It helps in treating genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia et cetera.
It can be of two types of somatic gene therapy and germline gene therapy.
A clade is a group of species that includes an ancestral species and all of its descendents
Answer:
Proteinuria occurs when the filtration membrane becomes leaky, allowing proteins to cross. This impacts the blood colloid osmotic pressure by decreasing the osmolarity gradient between the blood and filtrate, thereby reducing the strength of this pressure.
Explanation:
Proteinuria is the medical term that describes the presence of proteins in the urine. <u>Proteins, in normal conditions, are not capable of filtrating through the membrane</u> but, in the presence of a disease, this is possible.
Proteins are responsible for the colloid osmotic pressure in the blood vessels, so when proteins get filtered, this pressure decreases and so does the osmolarity gradient between the blood and filtrate. <u>The decrease in osmolarity gradient also produces a decrease of the colloid osmotic pressure because the strength of the pressure is as big as the gradient between the two compartments</u>.
Yes - diffusion is a broad term that may be applied to a vast number of substances and is not limited to liquids ( gases can diffuse too). osmosis refers to the diffusion of liquid water down the water potential gradient
Desert plants will have very long roots to reach water. Aquatic plants may be able to float to collect water or have sturdy roots to hold them in place.
