What is stem cell therapy?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Stem cell therapy is a non-invasive treatment that aims to replace damaged cells within the body. Mesenchymal stem cell therapy can be deployed systemically via IV or injected locally to target specific sites, depending on patient needs.

Explanation:

Stem cell therapy is a form of regenerative medicine designed to repair damaged cells within the body by reducing inflammation and modulating the immune system.  This phenomenon makes stem cell therapy a viable treatment option for a variety of medical conditions.  Stem cell therapies have been used to treat autoimmune, inflammatory, neurological, orthopedic conditions and traumatic injuries with studies conducted on use for Crohn's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Lupus, COPD, Parkinson's, ALS, Stroke recovery and more.

In humans, the ABO blood type is under the control of autosomal multiple alleles.Color blindness is a recessive X-linked trait.M
kifflom [539]

Answer: 1/4

Explanation:

Firstly, in order for both parents to be type A and have children with type o blood, their blood types must both be Ao. Since o is a recessive blood type, a punnett square shows there is a 25% chance any child of theirs will have type o blood. If neither parent is color blind and they have a son who is, it implies that the mother is a carrier of colorblindness and has the genotype XᴮXᵇ. If you do a punnett square of the not colorblind father (XᴮY) and the mother, it shows that a daughter would have a 0% chance of being colorblind. Therefore colorblindess is irrelevent, since there is no possibility of the daughter not having normal color vision. In conclusion, there's a 25% chance she will have type o blood and not be colorblind, since the other 75% chance would be having type A blood and not being colorblind.

While mutation is random, natural selection is not. In your own words, explain how this is possible
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Mutation is a alteration in the DNA sequence in a gene during cell divison iwhere gene is coded mitakeny or due to the error. Mutatio is a random process as it can not be determind or known befor bthechange in sequence what gene or DNA would be effected by it or what genes would be transfer from the parents.

Natural selection is a process where some of the traits that are helpful in the surviving and increasing the number of individuals in a population and transfer from one generation to other according the adaption and change over the long timeline. Thus, it is not random and based on the traits that are helpful in a environment or for the survival of

A zonkey comes from a zebra(46 diploid chromosomes) and a donkey (62 diploid chromosomes).
MAVERICK [17]
Q1. The answer is 53 chromosomes

Zebra has 44 diploid chromosomes (2n = 44). Zebra's gametes are haploid, so they will have 22 chromosomes (n = 22).
Donkey has 62 diploid chromosomes (2n = 62). Zebra's gametes are haploid, so they will have 31 chromosomes (n = 31).
After fusion of zebra's gamete (n = 22) and donkey's gamete (n = 31), the zonkey's zygote will have 22 + 31 = 53 chromosomes


Q2 and Q3. In the meiosis, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half. Since zonkey has 53 chromosomes, after meiosis it should have 53/2 chromosomes, which is not the whole number. This is the reason why they cannot produce normal gametes that will result, after the fusion, in the production of normal diploid zygote
