Bloom syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease that exhibits haploinsufficiency. A recent survey showed that people heterozygo

us for mutations at the BLM locus are at increased risk of colon cancer. Suppose you are a genetic counselor. A young woman is referred to you whose mother has Bloom syndrome; the young woman's father has no family history of Bloom syndrome. The young woman asks whether she is likely to experience any other health problems associated with her family history of Bloom syndrome. What advice would you give her?

Answer:

The correct answer is - she is heterozygous for a mutated BLM allele and will have an increased risk of colon cancer.

Explanation:

Autosomal recessive disease expresses itself in next-generation only if there is both alleles are recessive for the gene. In haploinsufficiency, the dominant allele fails to express itself in the phenotype due to insufficiency. So, if even one allele of the recessive gene present in the haploinsufficiency case, it will affect and express its trait.

She is heterozygous for a blood syndrome, as her mother had but her father has no disease, allele and will have an increased risk of colon cancer.

Gene flow is the transfer of genes or alleles from one population to another. The migration of millions of individuals from countries across the Atlantic Ocean to the United States is responsible for the changes in the gene pool of the immigrants.</span>

Compared to arteries, the velocity of flow of the blood through the capillaries is:______.
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer: D) much slower

Explanation:

The circulatory system, made up of arteries and veins, is fundamental to maintaining life. Its function is the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to all cells, as well as the removal of carbon dioxide and waste products, the maintenance of physiological pH, and the mobility of the elements, proteins, and cells of the immune system. An artery is each of the vessels that carry blood with oxygen from the heart to the capillaries of the body. They arise from a ventricle and their walls are very strong and elastic to resist the pressure that the blood exerts when it is pumped out of the heart.

Capillaries are very small diameter, thin-walled blood vessels connect small arteries (arterioles) to veins, allowing nutrients and oxygen to pass through to tissues.  The main function of the capillaries is the exchange of substances between the light of the capillaries and the cell interstice of the tissues.

When the blood reaches the capillary bed, the speed with which it circulates inside these vessels is very low. This is due to the fact that in a branching system of tubes, the speed decreases proportionally to the increase in the joint section of the branches. Thus, in the aorta, which has a small section, the speed is very high (400 mm/sec), it decreases at the level of the arteries and arterioles and at the capillary level it becomes minimal (0.1 mm/sec). <u>This fact, together with the thinness of the capillary wall, provides the necessary conditions of time and space for the exchange to take place in the most optimal way.</u>
