A test that can assess the thyroid function by determining the amount of iodine taken into thyroid cells is known by the abbreviation of RAIU or the Radio Active Iodine Uptake Test. The RAIU is used in diagnosis of thyroid problems.
Observe birds nesting in cut patches and uncut patches of forest.
-Hypothesize that more birds nest in cut forest patches.
-Develop a plan for conducting nest counts in several similar-sized patches of cut and uncut forest.
-Count the number of nest found and record the data.
-Compare the data collected concerning nests from cut and uncut patches of forest.
Determine whether more birds nest in cut or uncut forest patches and share this conclusion with other researchers.
A typical human karyotype has 23 types of chromosomes arranged from largest to smallest. In males and females 22 of these chromosomes look exactly the same and they are called autosomes. The 23rd pair of chromosomes is the sex chromosome which differentiates males from females. Females have 2 copies of the x chromosome. Males have a copy of both x and y chromosome to make the 23rd pair. <span>
<span>Chromosomes can also have abnormalities that result to different conditions and identifiable traits. A most common chromosomal abnormality is the condition called Down Syndrome, where chromosome 21 has a third copy because of an abnormal cell division.</span></span>
