MITOSIS is used to generate more cells. It is a kind of cell division that the new cells are identical.
Answer:
Indivisuals with producing an abnormal form of extracellular protein fibrillin are suffering from Marfan syndrome ehich is caused by genetic mutation in the FBN1 gene.
Explanation:
Gene mutations in FBN1 gene results in the production of an abnormal extracellular matrix fibrillin-1 protein that cannot function properly. These gene mutations basically reduce the amount of fibrillin-1 produced by the cell, alter the structure of fibrillin-1, or causes the impairment of the transport of fibrillin-1 out of the cell.
As a result, protein is poorly incorporated into extracellular matrix. Hence, indivisuals with Marfan syndrome present following symptoms
Tall stature.
Disproportionately long arms, legs and fingers.
Sternum either protrudes outward or dips inward.
Arched palate and crowded teeth.
Heart murmurs.
Extreme nearsightedness.
Isotopes
Atoms of the same element; number of protons remain the same, number of neutrons vary. Chemical properties remain the same. Atomic mass varies.
Na sodium with 11 neutrons = atomic mass of 22
With 22 neutrons the mass is 23.
Both have 11 protons in the nucleus.
