What genetic diseases could mimic fibromyalgia and include seizures?
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) has many symptoms in common with Fibromyalgia and should be excluded prior to a Fibromyalgia diagnosis. Seizures are also much more common in those with MS than int he general population.
What is genetic material package in?
An organism's genetic material is packaged in its chromosomes. The genetic material can be in the form of either DNA or RNA.
What is the eligibility for doing MS in US?
Each college or university will have admission requirements particular to itself. Read the below carefully and you will be able to research the information you need.
You can obtain this information by going to www.collegeboard.com/splash/ and using the sites College MatchMaker search engine, or you can also click on the related links below which will take you directly to the site. You can research colleges and universities by name, or by programs of study, or by geographical location, size, or combinations of part or all of them etc. The site will provide you with a list of institutions based on your request. It will give you the schools background, accreditation, degree offerings, programs of study, entrance requirements, tuition and fees, room and board, athletic programs etc. and a link to each institutions official web page. Make sure the college or university has a regional accreditation (most important). Practice navigating this site. It will be well worth the time and effort.
Biometrical genetics is the science concerned with the inheritance of quantitative traits.
A general scheme for genetic engineering is?
obtain DNA with the desired gene, cut the DNA into pieces, copy the pieces of DNA, identify copies of the desired gene, and transfer the desired gene to the recipient organism.
for Plato the answer is A.
not B. C. or D.
What are three real-life examples of genetic engineering that are occurring right now?
Frost resistant crops.
Saving the Banana crops from extinction.
Biological pest control.
Here are a few more benefits.
Grains with higher vitamin content such as Rice crops with more Vitamin A.
Virus resistant crops like the Hawaiian Papaya crop.
Sentinel plants that alert farmers to drought, controls water wastage.
Reduced fertilizer needy crops, grows better with less chemicals.
Transcription refers to the first step because a copy of information is made; translation refers to the second step because information is converted from one type of molecule to another
Why are pedigrees helpful in understanding genetic disorder?
They allow you to examine many generations of a family, and follow traits - allowing you to postulate genotypes
Role of component used in PCR?
Template
The template consists of the DNA region which will be amplified during the reaction. The template is one of the two strands in the double helix and is the point where the new strand will start to be built.
Primers:
There are two primers that are complemantary to the 3’ on the DNA strand. Without them the reaction can’t start.
DNA polymerase:
The DNA polymerase is a polymerase enzyme that builds/synthesizes DNA molecules out of its own nucleotide building blocks. This enzyme is essential for DNA replication (which is why it’s being used in PCR) and usually, it is working in pairs since it transforms a double stranded DNA molecule into two double-stranded helixes.
MgCl2 concentration:
Forms a soluble complex together with dNTP which produces the substrate that the polymerese recognizes. Without this, the polymerase will have trouble starting, if at all.
dNTP (Deoxynucleoside triphosphate):
These are nucleotides which contains triphosphate groups. These groups, also commonly named “building blocks”, are the ones from which the DNA polymerase synthesizes a new DNA strand.
How do two white ducks make one black duck?
The genes that control/allow coloration may skip generations.
Zonosemata flies with housefly wings are attacked less frequently
Importance of genetics in pharmacy?
Please refer to the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmacogenetics to give you a basic idea how genetics helps in the manufacture of drugs and understanding the drug response.
A plant known as a pomato is a transgenic plant which contains genes from both?
Pomato is a transgenic plant which contains genes from both paent Potato and Tomato.
Do you have a detailed procedure on human lymphocyte G-banding?
What does gattaca stand for in the movie?
Gattaca is the title of an American science fiction film released in 1997 starred by Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke. The title 'Gattaca' refers to the name of an aeronautics company, one that launches space missions, but a further interpretation tells that it's supposed to refer three of the DNA nucleic acids, the A, the T and the G.
What impact did the discovery of DNA as a genetic material have on the early science community?
At first, Clark and Watson were not noticed for their work. It was not until the fundamentals such as how DNA duplicated itself, and how it created the essential proteins needed to keep us alive.
Is it right to clone someone and then take an organ when needed and kill the clone after?
Only you can answer your question. The answer is going to be different for everyone, and your opinion will be based on your own personal beliefs.
Many women miscarry, as many as one in four, but it is usually a one off and they will go on to have a healthy baby. Providing you don't keep miscarrying (and there are many reasons for this beside a chromosomal abnormality) don't worry about it. If you do repeatedly miscarry you may be referred for genetic testing, but that is just one of the tests which will be done.
How are telomeres important for preserving eukaryotic genes?
Telomeres solve the end replication problem by extending the 3' end of the chromosome. Without them, the 3' end can't be replicated since replication is 5' to 3'.
Is progressive retina atrophy a recessive or dominant genetic disorder?
Progressive Retina Atrophy is a dominant genetic disorder.
Is transfer of genes from plants to animals is possible?
Yes, but to a very limited extent. We cannot, as yet, produce a tree with skin or a human who can photosynthesize.
