Since the country has a smaller area and a large amount of people (although smaller than Australia) the ratio of land to people in New Zealand is much larger than the ration of land to people in Australia.

Briefly describe how amniocentesis and chorionic villi sampling are used in genetic screening.
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Amniocentesis is an invasive method that involves the aspiration of 10-20 ml of fetal water through the abdominal wall under ultrasound-guided control. In most cases, the procedure is performed around the 16th week of gestation. The fetal water sample contains fetal cells, mostly cells of fetal skin and the epithelium of the urinary tract.

Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) biopsy is performed between weeks 11 and 12 of gestation. During biopsy, with ultrasound guidance, the tissue of the chorionic fossa is aspirated mainly across the abdomen (transabdominal pathway). The biopsy specimen is of fetal origin and belongs to the outer layer of blastocyst cells or the trophoblast (outer layer of the placenta). Very often, the biopsy specimen contains tissue of the decidua (mucous membrane of the uterus) that is of maternal origin, and it is necessary to remove the maternal tissue before any treatment of the sample.

Explanation:

The amniocentesis procedure carries a risk of miscarriage of 0.5-1%.  After aspiration of the fruit of the water, the sample is centrifuged to separate the cells from the amniotic fluid. Separate cells are seeded on a nutrient medium (cell culture) that stimulates cell growth. After about 14 days, the cell culture is further used for various genetic or biochemical analyzes such as karyotyping.

The advantage of chorionic biopsy is the amount of biological material, which is sufficient for the whole a number of different laboratory procedures. Also, a great advantage is the timing of the procedure as it allows diagnosis in the first trimester of pregnancy, but the chorionic biopsy procedure itself carries a risk of miscarriage of 1-2%.

Eating is important to your body because molecules in food contain_________ energy that cells use to produce ATP and it also sup
oee [108]


Food molecules contain chemical energy which is released when its chemical bonds are broken.

Food undergoes  digestion in the digestive system and is broken down into its monomer units. Carbohydrates, which are the principal source of energy, are broken down into glucose. Glucose is the monomer unit of carbohydrates.

Glucose then is taken up by cells and is used in cellular respiration, which involves three main stages namely glycolysis, Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain, through which a glucose molecule is processed to form at least 36 molecules of ATP.

ATP is the form of energy that cells use.

Why do living cells need water?
drek231 [11]
Water is an essential to constituent of the protoplasm of living cells because it is directly involved in countless biochemical reactions like photosynthesis and respiration. Without it cells couldn’t move waste and by products, take in nutrients, perform intracellular transportation, functioning and signaling.
