- Please help to the best of your ability, be detailed and please spectate the different ones :)arrow_forwardA human gene called theCFTR gene (for cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator) encodes aprotein that functions in the transport of chloride ions across the cellmembrane. Most people have two copies of a functional CFTR geneand do not have cystic fibrosis. However, a mutant version of the CFTRgene is found in some people. If a person has two mutant copies ofthe gene, he or she develops the disease known as cystic fibrosis. Arethe following descriptions of this disease related to genetics at themolecular, cellular, organism, or population level?A. People with cystic fibrosis have lung problems due to a buildupof thick mucus in their lungs.B. The mutant CFTR gene encodes a defective chloride transporter.C. A defect in the chloride transporter causes a salt imbalance inlung cells.D. Scientists have wondered why the mutant CFTR gene is relativelycommon. In fact, it is the most common mutant gene that causesa severe disease in persons of Northern European descent. Onepossible explanation why…arrow_forwardMutations to SRP72 (the RNA component of the signal recognition particle) are known to cause some forms of familial bone marrow failure. Which of the following protein(s) is/are potentially affected by such deleterious mutations? Choose all that apply Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) Cytochrome c Insulin (a secreted protein) uS7 (a small ribosamal subunit protein from all dornains of life) DO00arrow_forward
- There is a report of a new disease affecting approximately 30% of the persons living in a small rural area of Ontario. Affected individuals have a lack of energy and demonstrate a progressive loss of muscle function. Although we have no information yet, we believe the disease is caused by an infectious agent. Consequently, to limit the spread of this disease, immediate intervention is critical. Blood and muscle tissue samples from unaffected and affected individuals are waiting for you. Microscopy and X-ray crystallography facilities are being readied for your arrival. In order to gain information as quickly as possible, please develop a solid research plan before beginning your investigations. Some possible questions about this new disease could be: Is there evidence of disease at the cellular level? Is the disease caused by an infectious agent? What is the infectious agent? Does the infectious agent attack muscle tissue? How might the infectious agent cause the disease? Is there a…arrow_forwardNeuropathy is often a side effect of anti-cancer drug treatments. Which of the following drugs induce neuropathy by disrupting microtubule formation thereby inhibiting axonal transport? Select ALL that apply Paclitaxel Oxaliplatin Vincristine Bortezomib Thalidomide Cisplatinarrow_forwardExplain What are the advantages and disadvantages of CCL22, SERPINE1, TIMP1, CX3CL1 genes to adenocarcinoma tumours in regards to bowel cancer.

- Chagas disease, also known as American trypanosomiasis, is a tropical parasiticdisease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi. It is spread mostly by insects known as Triatominae, or "kissing bugs". The symptoms change over the course of the infection and can affect enteric neurons. Potential life-threatening complications result from all of the following except- O increased production of IL-10 loss of neurons lack of coordinated propulsive pattern in colon mediated by ENSarrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT true about mad cow disease in cattle and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (the non-genetic type) in humans? Caused by a persistent viral infection over several years Brain pathology looks sponge-like ("spongiform") Represent a slow, progressive, degenerative, fatal disease of the brain Caused by prions, which are infectious proteins without DNA or RNA None of the other four answers (All are true)arrow_forward
