A faulty sewer line can leak sewage into the surrounding soil and groundwater, contaminating sources of drinking water. This contaminated water can spread disease-causing bacteria and pathogens, increasing the risk of waterborne diseases such as cholera, dysentery, and hepatitis among people who consume or come into contact with the polluted water. Regular maintenance and prompt repair of sewer lines are essential to prevent the spread of waterborne illnesses.

Explain what human gene therapy is?
If a person is lacking a gene that causes a disorder, for example diabetes, and a gene can be inserted into cells that require the gene, this would be gene therapy. Parkinson's disease and X-linked SCID are two that are be researched.
Why is it that two normal parents could have a child with pku?
PKU, phenolketonuria, is a genetic disease caused by a recessive gene. So, a person with one normal and one faulty gene for this characteristic will not have the disease, you have to have two faulty genes to have the disease. If two people who each have one gene for PKU have a child, that child can inherit the gene from each parent and therefore will have two copies, causing the recessive trait to manifest.
What happens to the CFTR gene in cystic fibrosis and how does it contribute to the development of the disease?
In cystic fibrosis, mutations in the CFTR gene cause it to produce a faulty protein. This protein is unable to regulate the flow of salt and fluids in and out of cells, leading to the buildup of thick, sticky mucus in various organs. This mucus clogs the airways, digestive system, and other organs, causing breathing difficulties, digestive problems, and other symptoms characteristic of the disease.
What is the use of viruses to help people with genetic disorders?
They can cure inherited genetic diseases by taking the faulty gene out of the person's DNA, and replacing the faulty gene with a healthy gene. This way the person is not only cured from the disease, but any future generations in that person's family won't be affected either, because the faulty gene will have been removed altogether.
What is a goal of gene therapy?
The main goal of the Genetherapy is to correct the defective genes. There are 4 types of gene therapy .they are1. Somatic Gene therapy and another is 2.Germ line gene therapy 3.Enhancement genetic engineering4. Eugenic genetic engineering.
Explain why women are carrier's for the disease hemophilia. why do their son's get the disease and not the daughter's?
The gene for it occurs on the female (X) chromosome. All humans have either 2(X) chromosomes (women) or an XY pair (men). So if the man inherits a faulty X then he will have hemophilia, while a woman has a sporting chance that her other X chromosome does not have the fault and is thus protected from the disease. It is however possible for a woman with a hemophiliac father and hemophiliac carrying mother to express the disease if she inherits 2 faulty X chromosomes.
Which inherited disease is caused by a faulty ion channel?
Cystic Fibrosis
Which of the following is the first step in gene therapy?
Identifying the faulty Gene. Identifying the faulty Gene that causes the disease.
What causes starting problems in the Suzuki ignis?
crank or cam angle sensor faulty. faulty coils ....... could be heaps explain conditions???????
Which inherited disease is caused by faulty ion channels?
Cystic fibrosis is one.
How many copies of the faulty allele are needed for the person to have Is Huntington's disease?
40 or more.
What causes huningtons disease?
Huntingtons disease is a genetic/inherited diesease. It is caused by a faulty allele (a dominant one), which can be inherited by parents. Spontanoius mutations may also occur which would cause the faulty gene and therefore huntingtons disorder.
What causes Schilder's disease symptoms?
Symptoms of the disease are caused by widespread patches of demyelination throughout the brain and spinal cord, resulting in slowed, faulty nervous transmission.
Is huntington disease due to heredity?
Yes, Huntington's Disease is a hereditary condition. Huntington's is caused by a faulty gene, so if, say, the mother of a son has it, the son has a 50% chance of getting it too.
If Your company is considering whether or not to sue a supplier of faulty goods there's precedent on similar facts the supplier was held liable. explain the extent to which reliance may be placed?
The supplier has a record of faulty goods? No one checked? Doh....
What can increase latency in network?
There are multiple factors... One of them is overloaded routers. Also faulty network connection will give same result.
Usual cause of death in alzheimers disease?
End-stage Alzheimer's Disease leads to faulty processing of neuronal signals to the heart, precipitating death due to cardiac arrhymias. Malnutrition is ofen an indirect contributor to this process.
