What are Microbes?
They are Microorganisms that are too small too see with the naked eye. (without a microscope) They are found on every surface and in every habitat around the world that includes out own body. They are categorized into five major groups: Bacteria, Viruses, Algae, Fungi, and last but not least Protozoa.
The answers that fit the given blanks above are EXTENSOR and FLEXOR, respectively. Extensor muscles are those muscles that contract once extended and flexor muscles are those muscles that contract once flexed. When you extend, you move the limb away from the trunk; and when you flex, you are moving it toward the trunk.
Explanation:
Hemophilia is a disease that is characterized by an abnormal blood clotting process. There are many different proteins that are involved in the clotting process and a single mutation or change in one of them could result in serious effects. Hemophilia is characterized by an abnormal version of one of the many proteins involved in the clotting process, the proteins that are commonly affected are the coagulation factor 8 or 9 (VIII or IX). These abnormal proteins are caused by a mutation in the gene (within the DNA) that codifies for the production of each protein. In other words, a mutation in the part of the DNA, (gene F8) will lead to a dysfunctional coagulation factor VIII and a mutation in the gene F9 will lead to a dysfunctional coagulation factor IX. Importantly, these mutations could be inherited and could cause hemophilia. Therefore, an error in the DNA and subsequently, an error in the protein will cause hemophilia. Finally, it is important to mention that there are other types of hemophilia that are not caused by the above-mentioned mutations, such as acquired hemophilia.
