Answer:

No

Explanation:

No; only a small percentage of variants cause genetic disorders—most have no impact on health or development. For example, some variants alter a gene's DNA sequence but do not change the function of the protein made from the gene.

Often, gene variants that could cause a genetic disorder are repaired by certain enzymes before the gene is expressed and an altered protein is produced. Each cell has a number of pathways through which enzymes recognize and repair errors in DNA. Because DNA can be changed or damaged in many ways, DNA repair is an important process by which the body protects itself from disease.

A very small percentage of all variants actually have a positive effect. These variants lead to new versions of proteins that help an individual better adapt to changes in his or her environment. For example, a beneficial variant could result in a protein that protects an individual and future generations from a new strain of bacteria.

Because a person's genetic code can have many variants with no effect on health, diagnosing genetic disorders can be difficult.

When determining if a gene variant is associated with a genetic disorder, the variant is evaluated using scientific research to date, such as information on how the variant affects the function or production of the protein that is made from the gene and previous variant classification data. The variant is then classified on a spectrum based on how likely the variant is to lead to the disorder.

Gene variants, as they relate to genetic disorders, are classified into one of five groups:

Pathogenic: The variant is responsible for causing disease. There is ample scientific research to support an association between the disease and the gene variant. These variants are often referred to as mutations.

Likely pathogenic: The variant is probably responsible for causing disease, but there is not enough scientific research to be certain.

Variant of uncertain significance (VUS or VOUS): The variant cannot be confirmed to play a role in the development of disease. There may not be enough scientific research to confirm or refute a disease association or the research may be conflicting.

Likely benign: The variant is probably not responsible for causing disease, but there is not enough scientific research to be certain.

Benign: The variant is not responsible for causing disease. There is ample scientific research to disprove an association between the disease and the gene variant.

Evaluation needs to be done for each variant. Just because a gene is associated with a disease, does not mean that all variants in that gene are pathogenic. Additionally, evaluation of a variant needs to be done for all diseases with which it is thought to be associated. A variant that is pathogenic for one disease, is not necessarily pathogenic for a different disease. It is important to re-evaluate variants periodically; the classification of a variant can change over time as more information about the effects of variants becomes known through additional scientific research.

Answer:

.0172 mole of CO2

Explanation:

PV = nR T      n = number of moles      V = .5 liter

                       R = gas constant = .082057 L atm/(k mole)

                           T needs to be in Kelvin =  C + 273.15

.868  * .5  = n * .082057 * ( 35 + 273.15)

 n = .0172 moles

Which statement is true about HCI?
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

d- it is an acid because it increases the concentration of hydronium ions

Explanation:

HCl; hydrochloric acid is an acid because it increases the concentration of hydronium ions when in solutions.

An acid is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxonium ions H₃O⁺ in an aqueous solution.

For example:

               HCl + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻

HCl is classified as a strong acid due to its complete ionization when in solutions.

1. What is the relationship between science and society?
Rufina [12.5K]
Societies have changed over time, and consequently, so has science. For example, during the first half of the 20th century, when the world was enmeshed in war, governments made funds available for scientists to pursue research with wartime applications — and so science progressed in that direction, unlocking the mysteries of nuclear energy. At other times, market forces have led to scientific advances. For example, modern corporations looking for income through medical treatment, drug production, and agriculture, have increasingly devoted resources to biotechnology research, yielding breakthroughs in genomic sequencing and genetic engineering. And on the flipside, modern foundations funded by the financial success of individuals may invest their money in ventures that they deem to be socially responsible, encouraging research on topics like renewable energy technologies. Science is not static; it changes over time, reflecting shifts in the larger societies in which it is embedded
