Telomere

1. In your own words, define what is a mutation? Abnormal inherited or acquired permeant alteration in the sequences of the nucleotides of the deoxyribonucleic acid of an organism may or may not change organism phenotype, it occurs with a frequency of less than1% among a population. 2. Are mutations bad or good for you? Justify your answer in either case Mutations could be good, bad, or may have little or no effect. Beneficial mutations: Some mutations if they happen they have a positive…

1. What kind of a history do you need to gather on the geriatric population prior to ordering psychotropic medication? A full and complete Medical history is important to consider any co-morbid disease processes. Has the patient been treated for or diagnosed with any psychiatric disorders or diseases? Has the patient been compliant with treatment for medical or for psychiatric treatment? What type of treatment worked for the patient in the past? The possibility of a medical diagnosis…

That government should regulate Foods based solely under dietary concerns oppose to food based safety issues in my opinion. Everybody shooting what ever they want to eat this is a free country people should be educated on the risks of consuming unhealthy products. If you feel like eating a double cheeseburger in my McDonald’s is that you have to write to do so and if you want to eat a healthy Subway sandwich you also have the right to do so. The government is not really doing anything about how…

Is technology truly helpful? There is technology all around us, and we use it in our every day lives. Things such as: cars, computers, phones, even lights are considered technology, but is technology truly helpful? This is a question that will vary from person to person. Truly technology is for the better of mankind it was never intended to make peoples lives worse. It is not that it makes peoples life physically worse it is that it makes them morally worse such as it takes away from peoples…

all of the tissues in the body, they cannot form the other tissues that are required for a complete individual to form. Embryonic cells are also immortal, expressing abnormal levels of telomerase, which is a type of protein produced to ensure the telomere ends of chromosomes are maintained at each cell separation, and the cells do not undergo deterioration. In 1995, James A. Thomson began work as the chief pathologist…

(Dalton, Clancy 830-668-602) “I have not given, received, or used any unauthorized assistance on this assignment.” Once the embryo reaches two to eight weeks, it begins to differentiate. Differentiation is the process that cells undergo to become specialized; a cell transforms from a general cell to a muscle cell which has differing characteristics in comparison to an unspecialized cell. At this stage as well as all stages of fetal development, it is especially important that the mother does…

Disability Paper RING 14 CHROMOSOME SYNDROMES 14 What is RING14 syndrome? RING 14 indicates an aberration with respect to chromosome 14, which takes the form of a ring as soon as its two extremities, the long arm and the short arm, fuse together. The fusion occurs through two ruptured events, one at the extremity of the short arm and the other at the end of the…

proteins can be influenced by chronic stress. Researchers have found that telomerase, an enzyme that effects cell health can be lower in individuals with chronic stress. Researchers at the University of California have shown that stress reduces the telomere lengths in mothers who care for chronically ill children. This reduction in the length can cause cells to age at a faster rate. This premature aging in…

1. The role that dental sleep medicine plays in the overall treatment of some patients with sleep disorders can be very beneficial, especially using combination therapy. Although, dental sleep medicine alone is being used but not recommended for patients with significant sleep apnea (AHI > 25/hr.). Preferably dental sleep medicine is at its best if patients with OSA can’t tolerate PAP therapy, or the oral appliance therapy alone is not adequately effective. There are several reasons that…

28. a) A structure that was made if two chains of nucleotides, each in a helix, with each chain running parallel to each other. Also proved that the nucleotide bases could pair up in only one way based on Chargaff’s rule. b) Franklin’s x-ray diffraction photographs showed that the wet form of DNA likely had a double helix. Wilkins showed Watson Franklin’s results and at the time Watson and Crick were experimenting with many potential models of having 1,2 or even 2 strands. As soon as Watson saw…
