Answer:

Well a living thing is defined as in a scientific term, the ability to reproduce. Living things like humans, animal and even plants are considered living because we can reproduce, even plants by making new seeds in the plant growth process. Non living things are things that won’t be able to reproduce, like for example a rock can t reproduce since it’s not living and it just “lacks the abitlity to”.

Normally, activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is regulated by a feedback loop that reduces the release of cortis

Sergeu [11.5K]

The correct answer is c. hypothalamus to pituitary gland to adrenal glands.

When it comes to stress, hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is responsible for stress response. Hypothalamus releases corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) which binds to its receptors on the anterior pituitary gland. As a result, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is released and it stimulates the release of cortisol from the adrenal gland. At a certain levels of cortisol, this steroid hormone exerts negative feedback to the hypothalamic release of CRH.

In part A, you analyzed genes that contribute to two diseases. (cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy) How can scientists use t

N76 [4]

Answer:

By designing suitable gene therapies in order to restore target gene expression.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy are inherited genetic disorders associated with serious health problems. Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the gene that encodes for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, and it is a condition associated with abnormal production of sticky mucus that leads to problems in the lungs and the digestive systems. On the other hand, muscular dystrophy is produced by mutations in genes localized on the X chromosome such as, for example, the gene 'dystrophin'. Gene therapy is an experimental approach used to compensate abnormal gene function by introducing exogenous genetic material and thus restore their altered protein products. Consequently, personalized gene therapies can be useful to treat inherited disorders such as cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy.

When doing medical research with human subjects,which four limitaions are unavoidable

Illusion [34]

Answer:

There are ethical or privacy concerns to consider.

Explanation:

Human subject research is a systematic, scientific investigation that can be either interventional, a trial research or observational (test).

It is necessary to follow the Nuremberg code (1948) and have a voluntary informed consent, the research should be based on previous good results, on prior research, physical or psychological injury and harm should be avoided, benefits should outweigh risks, proper experience of a researcher is needed, right to withdraw consent, and research must stop if harm is arising.

In 1964, a guideline for medical doctors in biomedical research has been established by WMA (The World Medical Association). Helsinki declaration stated the ethical principles involving human subjects that was adopted.

In, 1982 International Ethical Guidelines for Biomedical Research Involving Human Subjects by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) has been established.

According to Guidelines (2002) ethical justification and scientific validity of research, ethical review, informed consent, vulnerability ¬ of individuals, groups, communities and populations, women as research subjects, equity regarding burdens and benefits, choice of control in clinical trials, confidentiality, compensation for injury, strengthening of national or local capacity for ethical review, and obligations of sponsors to provide health-care services are outlined.

There are 4 most important principles of ethics such as autonomy, beneficence, non-malfeasance and justice.

Ethical Review Board (ERB) is a committee that has been formally designated to approve, monitor, and review biomedical and behavioural research involving humans. It aims to protect the rights and welfare of the research subjects. The ERB must have at least five members. The members must have enough experience, expertise, and diversity. If the ERB works with studies that include vulnerable populations, the ERB should have members who are familiar with these groups. The ERB must include at least one person who is not affiliated with the institution or in the immediate family of a person affiliated with the institution. ERB members may not vote on their projects. The ERB may include consultants in their discussions to meet requirements for expertise or diversity, but only actual ERB members may vote.
