Yes. No cancer and heart disease would save millions of lives.
<h2>b) option is correct </h2>
Explanation:
- Some bacterial toxins cause disease by altering the activity of G protein, cholera toxin is one of them
- Cholera toxin catalyse ADP ribosylation of Gs and blocks GTPase activity thus Gs GTP become permanently active
- Constitutive activation of Gs protein continuously induce adenylyl cyclase, cytosolic cAMP level rises that leads to activation of protein kinase A (pKA)
- Activated pKA catalyse phosphorylation of two transmembrane proteins of intestinal epithelial cells:
- CFTR cause excessive outflow of Cl- ion and Na+ H+ exchange cause efflux of Na+ ion, both enters in gut and form Na+ Cl-
- Na+Cl- leads to outflow of water from the gut, resulting in diarrhea and dehydration and this condition may cause death of organisms due to loss of water and ions
Biodiversity is essential to an ecosystem's resistance against viruses and famine. In history, there has been many cases in which a lack of biodiversity has allowed a virus or disease to endemically wipe out an entire species of plant. This will subsequently affect all consumers of each trophic level. Ex: A disease that attacks the DNA of only one certain species of plant would cause decreases in the population of the organisms that rely on eating that plant, the organisms that rely on eating those organisms, and so on. This is caused by a decrease in food source, thus not being able to sustain the ecosystem's demand, thus naturally killing off any organisms that would not be able to find a sufficient food source.
Those mutated genes are most commonly recessive. Females have two X chromosomes so they can have a chromosome with the mutated gene and one with the healthy gene. The healthy gene is dominant so the disease won't manifest, and the woman is only a carrier. Males have only one X chromosome and an Y chromosome. If they have the mutated gene on the X chromosome they won't have another X chromosome with the healthy gene.
To summarize, men can't be carriers and they only need one copy of the mutated X-linked gene while women need two copies of the mutated gene.
