The origin of congenital adrenal hyperplasia occurs when circulating cortisol levels are low.
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is an autosomal recessive disease which results from mutations of genes for enzymes involved in the biochemical steps of production of mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids or sex steroids from cholesterol by the adrenal glands (steroidogenesis). <span>Low cortisol production results in rising levels of ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) because cortisol usually inhibits ACTH production. This increased ACTH production induces overgrowth (hyperplasia) and overactivity of the steroid-producing cells of the adrenal cortex.</span>
Answer:
Living things
Explanation:
Living Things depend on OTHER LIVING THINGS and NON-LIVING THINGS to survive.
The right matches are:
• Involves the transfer of genetic material from one bacteria to another ==> Genetic recombination (all 3).
• Involves scraps of genetic material ==> Transformation.
• Uses a virus to transmit genetic material ==> Transduction.
• Uses a pilus to transmit genetic information ==> Conjugation.
• Introduces new genetic material to a bacterium ==> Genetic recombination (all 3).
In molecular biology the term genetic recombination is often used as a synonym for DNA recombination, that is, the processes by which one DNA (or RNA) molecule is cut off, then joined to another.
There are three possible mechanisms in the bacterium: bacterial conjugation, bacterial transformation and transduction.
Answer:
e. None of these
Explanation:
The immune deficiency viruses (HIV) are retroviruses that use a reverse transcriptase (RT) enzyme to produce a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) from an RNA template. The reverse transcription allows retroviruses to replicate their genetic material, which is integrated into the host's genome as a double-stranded linear DNA molecule in a similar way to the mechanism of insertion used by endogenous retrotransposons. The synthesis of DNA is started by cellular tRNAs (tRNA3Lys) that are packaged into the virion. After reverse transcription, the HIV DNA enters the nucleus of CD4 immune cells (also known as CD4+ T cells), and then it integrates into the genome to coopt the host's cell machinery for its own replication.
