Please help me with this question. More than one answer may be correct. THe graph relating to the information is included below.
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a condition in which the wall of the heart, starting with the left ventricle, stretches and thins. This prevents the heart from pumping effectively and can be life threatening. The above graph shows mRNA expression (left pane) and protein expression (right pane) for three molecular components of cardiomyocytes (GJA3 is the gene that encodes for Connexin 46, DSP is the gene that encodes for Desmoplakin, and CTNNA3 is the gene that encodes for Catenin α-3) between DCM cells and healthy cardiomyocytes (CNT). Based on the above figure, which of the following issues are hearts with dilated cardiomyopathy likely to suffer?
Options:
impaired electrical conduction between cells
impaired cell-cell communication
poor cell-cell adhesion
decreased energetic output from mitochondria
impaired ability to pass mitochondria between cells
Please help me with this question. PLEase give me the right answer and for number 2 WRITE AT LEAST A PARAGRAPGH and dont copy from internet.

The standard notation for describing the common mutation in the HBB gene that, when homozygous, causes sickle cell anemia is E6V.
What does "E6V" mean? [What is E? What is V? What does 6 refer to?]

- Please help me with this question. More than one answer may be correct. THe graph relating to the information is included below. The above figures show the rate of actin polymerization in the presence of various concentration of profilin (Pfn). In the top figure, flourescence intensity is a measure of total actin that has been polymerized, and this is plotted versus time in seconds. The shade of blue of the lines in the top figure correspond to the shaded blue bars representing various concentrations of profilin in the lower figure. The lower graph shows the initial rates of polymerization of actin plotted again concentration. Which of the following is true: Question 21 options: profilin in a molecular motor profilin is a promoter of actin polymerization profilin replaced G-actin in an F-actin strand and breaks the filament profilin is an inhibitor of actin polymerization profilin binds to G-actin, preventing it from polymerizingarrow_forwardExplain well.
