Sam came home from school with a cold caused by a virus and his sister, Ana, caught it from him. Sam got well and went back to s

chool. A few days before Ana got well, Sam came down with a cold again. Their mother said that Ana had given the cold back to Sam. How likely is it that their mother is correct, and what does it mean for Ana's chances of getting sick again?
A. If Sam only had a mild infection of the virus he might not have acquired immunity to it and could catch it again, as could Ana if she had a mild infection.

B. Sam could not get sick with the same virus again since he has acquired immunity to it, so he must have a different virus which Ana could catch.

C. If Sam's body did not store up enough antibodies to the virus he could get sick with it again, as could Ana if the same thing happened to her.

D. Sam could have picked up another virus at school as well as catching the same one from Ana again, so Ana could get sick again with either virus.

Romashka [77]

Answer:

The BRCA gene is a tumor-suppressor gene found in the breast; to be more specific, it produces proteins that suppress cancerous activities/abnormal growth in the body. A mutation in a BRCA gene would allow these abnormal growth activities to go unchecked and thus increase the rate of mitosis. Cell cycle checkpoints would significantly be worse at their jobs of checking and correcting for errors during the cell cycle. Tumors would result as well, as cancerous growth continues, and the tumor can become metastatic.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

After absorption, long-chain fatty acids and monoglycerides inside intestinal cells are reformed into triglycerides.

<h3>Where are long chain triglycerides absorbed?</h3>

As previously mentioned, MCTs do not delay gastric emptying and are absorbed faster in the intestine than MCTs, being transported via blood to the liver.

In this case, long-chain triglycerides are oils or fats of vegetable or animal origin, and are obtained from the reaction between a fatty acid and glycerol.
