What genetic disorder causes a defective gene that makes proteins necessary to pump chloride in and out of cells?
What else can I help you with?
Relate the use of genetic engineering to the treatment of human illness such as hemophilia?
Many genetically engineered proteins are used to treat illnesses. For example, factor VIII, a protein that promotes blood clotting, is now made by genetic engineering and sold as a drug to hemophiliacs. Genetic engineers are also attempting to replace defective human genes with healthy ones.
How can a small change in a persons DNA cause a genetic disorder?
Some genes encode products that regulate the translation of other genes, or the activity of other proteins, so one small change will affect a lot of other genes/proteins. If that change affects something critical it might lead to a genetic disorder.
What is the theory behind western blotting?
A western blot is done by immobilizing cellular proteins on a thin membrane (usually PVDF or nitrocellulose) and detecting them with antibodies to specific proteins. Briefly, cells are lysed, proteins are resolved on a gel, then proteins are transferred to a membrane, and finally the proteins are detected by enzyme-conjugated antibodies.
Polymer of a protien?
Normally you can just refer to the polymers just as proteins, but if you want to be specific, you can say polypeptide, thereby excluding amino acids, dipeptides, and oligopeptides. The monomers of proteins are amino acids.
Is chromosome analysis considered genetic testing?
Genetic testing is a type of medical test that identifies changes in genes, chromosomes, or proteins. The results of a genetic test can confirm or rule out a suspected genetic condition or help determine a person’s chance of developing or passing on a genetic disorder. More than 77,000 genetic tests are currently in use, and others are being developed. Genetic testing involves looking for changes in: Genes : Gene tests study DNA sequences to identify variations (mutations) in genes that can cause or increase the risk of a genetic disorder. Gene tests can be narrow or large in scope, analyzing an individual DNA building block (nucleotide), one or more genes, or all of a person’s DNA (which is known as their genome). Chromosomes : Chromosomal genetic tests analyze whole chromosomes or long lengths of DNA to see if there are large genetic changes, such as an extra copy of a chromosome, that cause a genetic condition. Proteins : Biochemical genetic tests study the amount or activity level of proteins or enzymes; abnormalities in either can indicate changes to the DNA that result in a genetic disorder.

What is a genetic disorder in which blood clotting proteins are defective causing excessive bleeding after minor injuries?
Hemophilia
What results in a defect in membrane proteins that normally function in chloride ion transport?
Defects in membrane proteins that normally function in chloride ion transport can result from mutations in genes coding for those proteins. These mutations can lead to altered protein structure or function, affecting the ability of the protein to transport chloride ions across the membrane correctly. This can result in conditions such as cystic fibrosis, where mutations in the CFTR gene lead to defective chloride ion transport.
Does sodium chloride contain protein?
Sodium chloride doesn't contain proteins.
Having defective proteins in the cell membrane can cause disease?
True
What would be least affected by defective receptor proteins on a cell membrane?
The transport of nutrients and waste across the cell membrane would be least affected by defective receptor proteins. This is because transport proteins, not receptor proteins, are primarily responsible for moving molecules across the cell membrane.
Why do many inherited conditions result from defective enzymes?
Inherited condition result from defective enzymes because enzymes are proteins and genes encode them.
Which would least be affected by defective receptor proteins on a cell membrane?
Diffusion
Which dietary mineral is necessary for producing stomach acid for protein digestion?
Chloride is the dietary mineral necessary for producing stomach acid for protein digestion. It is an essential component of hydrochloric acid, which helps break down proteins into amino acids for absorption in the small intestine.
A disorder caused by the body's exaggerated response to foreign chemicals and proteins is a?
The disorder caused by the body's exaggerated response to foreign chemicals and proteins is called an allergy. Symptoms can range from mild reactions like itching and sneezing to severe reactions like anaphylaxis.
