Old Norse stories tell of a famous Viking named Egil, who lived around 900 AD. His skull was greatly enlarged and misshapen, and

the cranial bones were thickened (6 cm, more than 2 inches, thick). He had headaches from the pressure exerted by enlarged vertebrae on his spinal cord. So much blood was diverted to his bones to support their extensive remodeling that his fingers and toes always felt cold and his heart was damaged through overexertion. What bone disorder did Egil probably have?

Answer:

Paget's disease

Explanation:

It is a chronic condition of bones understood as a disorder of the normal bone remodeling and recycling processes.

Paget's disease results in irregular thickening of bone tissue due to new bone tissue gradually replaces old bone tissue.

Paget's disease commonly affects pelvis, skull spine and legs, causing pain and deformity in them.

It also produces broken bones, hearing loss pinched nerves in the spine due to this disease increases with age.

Answer:

The bone disorder that Egil could've probably suffered from is called Paget's disease.

Explanation:

Paget's disease is an infrequent chronical bone disorder, in which bone repair occurs rapidly and isolated. This condition may cause a variety of symptons as aching in the spine, head and arms, hips and thighs; leading to health problems as arthritis, heart disease, nervous system issues, hearing loss, vision problems, lose of teeth and a type of cancer named Piaget's sarcoma.

A possible cause for this disorder is a virus called measles virus that occurs during childhood that leads to bone formation alterations.

I hope it helps!

<span>Cocaine Preparations -Coca leaves --> Coca Paste (60% pure): Not water soluble, so you can't inject it into the bloodstream -- you need an additional chemical step to turn the paste into crystal powder that can be injected or snorted -Coca --> Cocaine Hydrochloride (99% pure): Doesn't hold up very well to heat, so you can't smoke cocaine hydrochloride -Cocaine Hydrochloride (99% pure) --> Free-Base Cocaine or Crack Cocaine: -Reconvert cocaine hydrochloride back to base state by removing hydrochloride from cocaine (that's why it's called free-base cocaine) -Crack cocaine is a crystallized form, mixture of cocaine and baking soda -75% pure -Can be used at lower doses and is much cheaper than cocaine -Can be smoked</span>

You disrupt all hydrogen bonds in a protein. what level of structure will be preserved?
Alex777 [14]
I believe the primary structure will be preserved. The secondary level of proteins is defined by patterns of hydrogen bonds between the main chain peptide groups. Therefore distorting the Hydrogen bonds disrupts the secondary structures. The primary structure on the other hand is not affected by disruption of the hydrogen bond since these structures refers to the sequences of amino acids in the polypeptide chains that are joined by the peptide bonds.

You have mated a phenotypically wild-type female of the genotype Xy+w+Xyw to a male with the genotype XywY. You counted 2205 tot
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

1.31 cM

Explanation:

Total offspring = 2205

Since two genes are involved, F1 progeny should have four types of combination. Out of them two are 17 and 12 which definitely means they are in lesser number. Since recombinants are always less than parental progeny in linkage, the given two types are recombinants.

Recombination frequency = (Number of recombinants / Total progeny) * 100

= [ ( 17 + 12 ) / 2205 ] * 100

= ( 29 / 2205 ) * 100

= 1.31 %

Map distance = Recombination frequency

Hence, distance between two genes = 1.31 cM
