Anthony Hoffnagle was well until after 6 months of age when he was hospitalized for pneumonia 5 times in the same year. A consul

tation with an immunologist revealed normal numbers of B cells and T cells, slightly elevated IgM, and a marked decrease in IgG and IgA. He was diagnosed with X-linked hyper IgM syndrome. Based upon the information in the previous questions, what is the most important gene that might be defective that would result in lack of class switch to IgG or IgA

Answer:

CD40L  

Explanation:

The CD40 ligand (CD40L) protein is a transmembrane glycoprotein which is expressed on activated T cells and belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily. The hyper IgM syndrome is caused by mutations in the CD40L gene, where the defective protein can no longer bind CD40 on antigen-presenting cells. The X-linked Hyper IgM syndrome is characterized by abnormal levels of immunoglobulins, i.e., low levels of IgG and IgA, and increased/normal levels of IgM. Because CD40L gene is located on the X chromosome, this disorder is observed much more frequently in males than in females.

In doing these exercises, this is likely to increase the response of the parasympathetic nervous system in which results of making the heart slow and as well as the respiration rate with less muscular tension. The parasympathetic nervous system is the one responsible for conserving energy that makes the heart rate slower, increase the activity of the gland and intestinal activity and as well as relaxing the muscles.

Anika [276]

Answer:

A. They center on the motives of wrongdoers as well as on the amount of damage done when assigning blame.

Explanation:

The Concrete Operational Stage, according to Piaget, refers to a stage that begins around age 7 and ends around the ages of 11 or 13.

During this stage, children are now capable of thinking in a more logical manner and their moral judgement has become subjective as <u>they now center on the motives of wrongdoers as well as on the amount of damage done when assigning blame</u>. For instance, they are able to judge another child according to the amount of damage she/he has done and whether it was done in purpose or accidentally.

They can also center on two dimensions of a problem at once and have thoughts that involve tangible objects instead of abstract ideas.

What are all the possible sources of genetic variation in sexuaally repdoucing organisms?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Mutation, Gene flow/Migration/Immigration of gene and Recombination

Explanation:

For any species there are majorly three sources of genetic variations –  

a) Mutation – This leads to change in the genetic code with in the DNA of an organism. Sometimes mutation does not produce any effect on the organism. Mutation can produce both positive and negative impact. Its effect is observed in long run as its rate is slow.

b) Recombination – When an organism undergoes sex, his/her genes recombine with the genes of mating partner. The rate of recombination is faster than the rate of mutation  

c) Gene flow /Migration/Immigration of gene – In this gene travel from one set of population to the other. The frequency of gene in the mixed population lies between the original population gene frequency and the migrated or donor population gene frequency
