Being able to understand the relationship between DNA, mRNA, tRNA, ribosomes and proteins, is necessary for any researcher inter

ested in gene therapy. Gene therapy is dedicated to correcting genetic defects by replacing mutated genes with wildtype versions. This can include complete removal and replacement of the entire gene (knock-outs or knock-ins) or removal of only the actual mutated nucleotides. Sickle Cell Disease is an example of a single-point mutation: GAG becomes GTG, which codes for a new amino acid. One would only need to replace a single base to correct the disorder making it very amenable to gene therapy. The mutant sickle cell allele is called HbS (for sickled hemoglobin) while the wt allele is HbA. Philippe Kasongo, a masters student from Oxford is studying for an oral exam on gene therapy, and has an especial interest in the disorder since he comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo where Sickle Cell has a historical high rate of occurrence due to the prevalence of malaria. Oral exams are a feature of certain British schools where students form a line and have to answer a series of questions from their proctor rather than take a written exam.

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, we should try oral exams at Lehman this semester in order to fulfill the research on gene therapy done by the masters student. Test is to evaluate the performance of the student in the class, it can be taken by both the methods i.e. through written or through oral exams. Both have the same significance because both evaluate the performance of the students so we can try oral exams instead of written exams at Lehman this semester to help the masters student in his research.

What similarities in flower structure are found among the plants in the rose family
emmainna [20.7K]

The rose family is a medium-sized family of flowering plants. The rose family (Rosaceae) is one of the major angiosperm families. The leaves are generally arranged spirally. Flowers of plants in the rose family are generally described as "showy". They are actinomorphic and almost always hermaphroditic.  Rosaceae generally have five sepals, and five petals. They also have many spirally arranged stamens. The bases of the sepals, petals, and stamens are fused together to form a  cup-like structure called a hypanthium. They can be arranged in racemes, spikes, or heads; solitary flowers are rare.

The cells that respond to changes in blood gas concentration and generate the respiratory rhythm are found in several nuclei in
levacccp [35]

The answer is; medulla oblongata and pons.  

In this region of the brain, there are chemoreceptors that can detect changes in the pH of the blood. These are called central chemoreceptor. There are also chemoreceptors in the arteries called peripheral chemoreceptors. When these chemoreceptors detect a drop in the blood PH (due to increased dissolved carbon dioxide in the blood), the depth and rate of breathing is increased in the lungs.
