The disease cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by a mutation to the CFTR gene which affects the respiratory, endocrine, reproductive

, and digestive systems. The most common cystic fibrosis allele is missing three bases compared to the normal allele, resulting in the loss of one amino acid in the CFTR protein. What kind of mutation caused the cystic fibrosis allele?

Answer: DF508 mutation. A Genetic, Hereditary, Autosomal and Recessive Mutation.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive autosomal lethal disease, it is most common on Caucasoid populations. Its diagnosis is suggested by the clinical features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, persistent pulmonary colonization (particularly with mucoid Pseudomonas strains), meconium ileus, pancreatic insufficiency with or familiarity history of the disease. The FC gene is large, with about 250 Kb of genomic DNA, 27 exons representing about 5% of genomic DNA; encodes a 6.5 kb transcribed mRNA. This mRNA is transcribed into a protein of 1480 amino acid called CFTR (Regulator Transmembrane Conductance Cystic Fibrosis). When a three-base pair deletion, adenosine-thymine-thymine (ATT) identified in the CFTR gene, exon 10, it results in the loss of a single amino acid phenylalanine at position 508 of the protein. This mutation is called DF508; “D” stands for deletion and “F” for phenylalanine amino acid.

Luda [366]

Answer:

Parathyroid hormone increases the level of calcium while calcitonin hormone  decreases the level of calcium in the blood.

Explanation:

Parathyroid hormone is a type of harmone which is responsible for balancing calcium in our body. When the calcium level lowers in our body, parathyroid hormone is secreted and calcium is absorbed from the bones and fullfilled the requirement of the body. If the tumor secreted calcitonin hormone instead of parathyroid hormone, the calcium level in the blood is lowered because it acts to the opposite of parathyroid hormone.

Earthquakes and faults form at __________ boundaries.
Len [333]

Answer:

transform

Explanation:

Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries where the plates meet. In fact, the locations of earthquakes and the kinds of ruptures they produce help scientists define the plate boundaries. There are three types of plate boundaries: spreading zones, transform faults, and subduction zones.
