It was found that the C4 protein promotes synaptic pruning during brain development in the teenage years. This is a normal proce

ss in brain development that is important for removing unnecessary connections between neurons and establishing a mature brain structure. However, high expression levels of a certain allele of C4 can lead to too much pruning, which may promote the onset of schizophrenia. The variation observed at the C4 gene which leads to the greatest increase in risk was found to cause a 25% increase in the risk of developing schizophrenia. The baseline risk in the population is 1%. What is the risk of an individual with this variant developing the condition?a. 0.25%.
b. 1.25%.
c. 25%.
d. 26%.

Answer:

b. 1.25%

Explanation:

Variations observed in C gene has increase in risk of 25% to develop schizophrenia. It is a kind of an abnormality in which a person interprets reality unrepresentative. The baseline risk in population is 1% then there is 1.25% risk associated with an individual to develop this condition.

How does the virus use a host cell to make copies of itself
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

I wasn't quite sure what virus you were referring to in your question, but here's a general answer: Viruses use their host cells' machinery to replicate themselves.

If they are a specific type of virus known as a retrovirus, they have the ability to use the host cells' enzymes to change the RNA contained within the virus into DNA (via some type of replication I suppose).

In other cases, if they contain DNA instead of RNA (that is, the virus), they can use the host cell's machinery to create RNA via enzymes involved in transcription and/or they can incorporate that DNA into the host cell's DNA. This is part of a type of viral replication cycle known as the lysogenic cycle.

In another type of viral replication cycle known as the lytic cycle, the virus simply has itself and its genome duplicated until the host cell bursts, releasing the viral material. Here, again, the virus uses the host cell's machinery to replicate itself.

Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive condition in which blood does not clot properly. Queen Victoria of England had one allele fo
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Because hemophilia is an X-linked recessive condition.

Explanation:

As the problem states, hemophilia is an X-linked recessive condition.

  • Meaning that in Queen Victoria's female descendants (coded XX) which inherited the Queen's one allele, for hemophilia to appear in them it would be necessary to inherit another hemophillia-carrying allele from the father.
  • The Queen's male descendants (coded XY) would always manifest hemophilia if they inherited the Queen's hemophilia allele, as they possesed only one X gene.
