Which genetic disorder causes the body to produce unusually thick mucus in the lungs and intestines?
galina1969 [7]

Answer: Cystic Fibrosis

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis (abbreviated CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease that mainly affects the lungs, and to a lesser extent the pancreas, liver and intestine, causing an abnormally thick, sticky mucus to build up in these areas. This mucus collects in the airways of the lungs and pancreas.  The main cause of morbidity and mortality is pulmonary involvement, which accounts for 95% of deaths, mainly due to repeated infections caused by bronchial obstruction due to the secretion of very thick mucus.

This build up of mucus causes life-threatening lung infections and serious digestive problems.  It is one of the most common types of chronic lung disease in children and young adults, and is a life-threatening disorder; patients often die from lung infections due to <em>Pseudomonas</em> or <em>Staphylococcus</em>.

<u>It is a hereditary disease produced by a mutation in the gene encoding the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. This protein is involved in the passage of chlorine ion through cell membranes and its deficiency alters the production of sweat, gastric juices and mucus. </u>The disease develops when neither allele is functional. Over 1500 mutations have been described for this disease, most of which are small deletions or point mutations; less than 1% are due to mutations in the promoter or chromosomal rearrangements. However, many people carry the CF gene, but do not have any symptoms. This is because a person with this disease must inherit 2 defective genes, 1 from each parent.

<u>There is no curative treatment, however there are treatments that allow the improvement of symptoms and extend life expectancy. In severe cases, the worsening of the disease may necessitate a lung transplant.</u>

Answer:

11)El ciclo del agua, conocido científicamente como ciclo hidrológico, se refiere al intercambio continuo de agua en la hidrosfera, entre la atmósfera, el agua del suelo, la superficie, el agua subterránea y las plantas. La ciencia que estudia el ciclo hidrológico es la hidrología.

12)Sabems que las etapas del ciclo hidrológico  son las siguientes:

Evaporación

Condensación

Precipitación.

Las implicaciones que tienen para la vida cada una de las etapas son:

Evaporación, se reduce el nivel de los ríos, los lagos pequeños se seca, y se eleva la temperatura del ambiente.

Condensación, Es el proceso en el cual se forman las nubes, por lo que la luz solar disminuye.

Precipitación, produce nuevamente el aumento de los niveles de rios y lagos, y la disminución de la temperatura.

Overfishing decreases the population of trout living in a river.
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

C. birds that use the trout as a source of food

Explanation:

Living organisms feed on one another in their natural environment in order to obtain energy for their various activities. According to this question, overfishing by humans decreases the population of trout living in a particular river.

This means that in that aquatic ecosystem (river), the population of organisms that feed on trout as a source of energy will also decrease. In this case, it is the birds. Hence, birds that use the trout as a source of food.
