Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that infects (and destroys) Helper T Cells. As a result, people who are HIV+ gener

ally have a low number of these T Cells. How would a dramatic decrease in Helper T Cells affect a person’s immune response? Be specific using details from what you learned about the immune response.

Because HIV infects and destroys Helper T Cells, you would end up with a very weak immune system because T Cells identify pathogens and fight them. Without them, we aren’t able to fight of pathogens, making the body vulnerable to disease, bacteria, and viruses.

It seems that you have missed the necessary options for us to answer this question so I had to look for it. Anyway, here is the answer. If one parent is homozygous for a recessive allele and one parent is heterozygous for a recessive allele in an autosomal dominant genetic disorder, the chance that <span>a child of those two parents will have the disorder is 75%. Hope this helps.</span>

Some individuals suffer from a rare genetic condition called hemophilia. This condition makes it extremely difficult for the bod
max2010maxim [7]

Solution:

People that born with hemophilia lack or have a low amount of a clotting factor.

Coagulation factors are proteins necessary for normal blood clotting.

Coagulation factors are found in blood plasma. These factors act with Thrombocytes to clot blood.

However, hemophilia is not a decrease in Thrombocytes but a decrease in coagulation factors due to genetic causes.

Diagnosis includes screening tests and clotting factor analysis. Screening tests are blood tests that show whether the blood is clotting properly. Clotting factor tests can reveal a deficiency of clotting factors in the blood plasma and determine the level of severity of hemophilia.

As the coagulation factors are in Blood plasma, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

BLOOD PLASMA

What happens to an enzyme if the temperature varies too far from the enzyme's optimum (or best) temperature?
Fantom [35]
If the temperature is too low, enzyme molecules don’t have enough kinetic energy to collide and combine with other substrate molecules. So the enzyme activity/ reaction rate will be very low. The rate will rise again once the temperature increases to its optimum temperature.

But if the temperature is too high, enzyme will be denatured, which means the shape of the active site of the enzyme is changed. It can no long combine with other substrate molecules. The rate will drop significantly. Yet, lowering the temperature won’t help because denaturation is permanent and irreversible.
