10. Describe the physiological roles of the different subclasses of immunoglobulins. How do the structures of these compounds relate to the function of the different classes of immunoglobulins (50 Marks?) There are four different subclasses of immunoglobulins which are IgM, IgG, IgA and the IgE. Each subclass has its physiological role in relation to its structure. The m immunoglobulin (IgM) is the first primary subclass which is produced due to primary response of the immune system. IgM is the…

Moss is a type of weed that can disrupt lawn and garden growth, but it's possible to eliminate and contain with the right products. There are two ways to control moss growth. You can fix the conditions that are causing it to grow or purchase moss control products to contain it. Where Does Moss Grow? With thousands of moss species, moss can grow anywhere except in salt water. It flourishes in cool, shady and damp areas. Nonetheless, it can still survive in limited, drought-like conditions. Moss…

controversial method because the parents are changing their child before they are born. Thus, not allowing the child to be who he/she is meant to be. Leslie Pray describes reprogenetics as “extracting a single cell from an eight-cell embryo and analyzing the DNA of that single cell for the presence of one or more disease-associated genetic alterations” (Embryo Screening and the Ethics of Human Genetic Engineering). Only the healthy embryos are put into the mother’s uterus. When this process was…

Introduction Evolution is the theory of how organisms change over time. Scientist believe evolution is a reliable theory by studying anatomy, biochemicals, fossils, and embryology. When studying these they notice the structural similarities. Through these studies scientist can conclude that each organism shares one common ancestor. The purpose of this lab was to observe the bone anatomy of certain animals to find similarities in them. Also doing this experiment i noticed that some of the…

which overlapped with a functional ER binding site, causing repression of the HOXC10 gene expression. By a short term blockage it was observed that ER signaling caused relief of the hox gene repression in both cell lines and breast tumors; increased DNA methylation and hox gene silencing also occurred. An experiment was performed which reduced HOXC10 in vitro and in xenografts caused a decrease in apoptosis and resulted in antiestrogen resistance. The scientist tested primary and metastatic…

exponentially over the past years and explores the idea of manipulating DNA sequences in humans using the help of technology (Kalaichandran, 2016). DNA, also known as deoxyribonucleic acid, is the carrier for all genetic information and is present in all living organisms (Genome Home Reference, 2017). Although the procedure may be intended to cure genetic mutation disease, it also carries various adverse health effects. The modified DNA inherited by the child of the individual may impose…

In the article “ Smart Machines Are Not a Threat to Humanity”, Alan Bundy argued against people’s fear of Artificial Intelligence. Many predictions have been made about our future if machines or robots become more intelligent, and people are afraid that one day machines will owe humans as pets, kill them or take over their job opportunity. Bundy noted that machines can be smart but not in all aspects for instance, medical diagnosis machines can give a wrong treatment when they face a disease…

The patient is of the Hispanic background. 1. This patient is at risk for infection or developing sepsis due to being 10 days postop for an amputation. Complete blood count measure how many white blood cells are circulating in the bloodstream. The normal lab values are 500-10000. Numbers larger than 10000 are indicative of infection. Lactate acid test should be run although the patient is at 96% room air. Organs produce lactic acid when the body is not receiving enough oxygen. The prevention of…

Centriole (E) Their structure is a small network of protein fibers which are not surrounded by a membrane but are located in an area of the cell called the centrosome. The centriole has its appearance and structure the way it is because its arrangements must be a circular and the triplet fibers that it’s made out of will eventually create a shape that is similar to a barrel when it it is arranged. One of their main function is to contribute/help with processes that involve cellular activities.…

A tall, inhuman being created by men who had the foolish ambition to alter what it means to be human all possible through genetic engineering if the science goes that far. If the first part of that sentence seems familiar, it is because it strikes many of the same chords of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein when Frankenstein created the monster in his lab. Technology, no matter if it can be used for good, can become monstrous if the technology goes down morally questionable roads. Genetic…
