1) What symptoms is Rahul experiencing?

2) Describe 2 purposes of the blood test that was ordered.

3) What is the function of dystrophin and how is it altered by DMD?

4) Knowing the inheritance pattern of DMD, what can you predict about Rahul's family histors?

5) Assuming that Rahul lives until aduithood, he could have children. Show a Punnett Square illustrating the likelihood of Rahul passing this mutation on if he marries a woman with two normal X chromosomes.

6) What treatments are suggested for DMD?

Answers

Rahul is experiencing difficulty walking and an abnormal gait, which are symptoms of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).

2. The blood test that was ordered specifically tests for the creatine-kinase (CK) enzyme linked to degeneration of muscles and provides a genetic analysis through DNA testing of the blood cells. The purpose of the CK test is to measure the level of CK enzyme in the blood, which is often elevated in individuals with DMD, and the purpose of the genetic analysis is to identify the presence of a mutation in the dystrophin gene, which is the genetic cause of DMD.

3. Dystrophin is a protein found beneath the sarcolemma of the muscle fibers. It is responsible for distributing the force from a muscle contraction to the cell membrane and helps to protect muscle fibers from damage during contraction. In DMD, there is a mutation in the dystrophin gene, which prevents the production of dystrophin, allowing the contraction force to damage the fibers, causing permanent tears in the fibers, and leading to muscle degeneration and weakness.

4. Because DMD is an X-linked disorder, it is more common in males, and it is inherited in a pattern of sex-linked inheritance. This results in the disease being more common in males, although females can unknowingly pass the mutated gene to their children. Knowing this, one can predict that Rahul's biological parents are likely to be unaffected carriers of the mutation, and it is highly likely that his biological siblings have the same condition.

What is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy?

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects muscle function and strength. It is caused by a mutation in the dystrophin gene, which is located on the X chromosome. This gene provides instructions for making a protein called dystrophin, which is essential for the proper functioning of muscles.

Without dystrophin, muscle fibers are unable to withstand the force of contraction, leading to damage and degeneration. This results in progressive muscle weakness, starting in the legs and pelvis.

Therefore, in the above case, none of his children will have DMD, but they will all be carriers of the mutation, meaning they have the potential to pass it on to their own offspring. It's important to note that, in reality, the genetic transmission of a disease like DMD is not always as simple as a Punnett square.

Rahul Carter is a 2 year old who was adopted from an Indian orphanage just over a year ago. His adoptive parents have brought him in for his annual pediatric exam. Rahul's pediatrician has been monitoring his physical progress carefully because he was a late walker and has always been a bit clumsy. At this appointment, Rahul's pediatrician notices that he is continuing to have difficulty walking and has an abnormal gait. Suspecting an undiagnosed muscular condition, the pediatrician orders a blood test for Rahul. This blood test specifically tests for the creatine- kinase (CK) enzyme linked to degeneration of muscles and provides a genetic analysis through DNA testing of the blood cells. Upon receiving results of elevated CK levels and a mutated dystrophin gene. Rahul is diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).

DMD is a progressive disease of the muscular system. It is most often diagnosed between the ages of 3 and 5 and is defined by weakened muscles of the legs, torso, and hips. As the muscles of the heart and diaphragm are eventually affected, it becomes lethal. Dystrophin is a protein found beneath the sarcolemma of the muscle fibers. It is responsible for distributing the force from a muscle contraction to the cell membrane. The absence of this protein permits the contraction force to damage the fibers themselves, causing permanent tears in the fibers. As the child ages, these tears are replaced by scar tissue, reducing the effectiveness of skeletal muscles.

DMD is caused by a mutation within the X chromosome that prevents the production of dystrophin. Because it is located on the X chromosome, it follows a pattem of sex- linked inheritance. This results in the disease being more common in males, although females can unknowingly pass the mutated gene to their children.

Although there is currently no cure for DMD, treatment includes physical therapy and light exercise to slow muscle damage. Orthopedic braces and walkers can be used, but individuals with DMD are often confined to wheelchairs by age 12. Corticosteroids are commonly prescribed to reduce muscle inflammation, slowing skeletal muscle loss. The life expectancy of an individual with DMD is around age 30, but scientific advances are extending life expectancies with some individuals living into their 50s.

Lisa has a glass that has a mass of exactly 100 grams. She puts exactly 45 grams of acid in the glass, and then she adds 15 grams of crushed limestone. When the limestone touches the acid, it makes bubbles. Lisa waits until the reaction stops, and then she weighs the glass and its contents. What should Lisa expect to find about the mass of the glass and its contents when she puts it on a scale?

Answers

Answer:   Mass is more than 145 g but less than 160 g

Explanation: Acid and limestone reacts forming water, salt and

Carbon dioxide CO2. Because CO2 is gas it is bubbled away from

glass and that's why mass is less than 160 g. Because limestone

releases CO2 and products from acid remain in solution, mass is more than 145 g. If amount of acid in moles is enough, all limestone reacts.

Roughly 44% of mass of limestone CaCO3  forms CO2 and we can estimate mass of gas is 0.44·15 g = 6,6g , so mass would be 153 g

Answers

D: Sustainability hope it helps

The best term that describes a lifestyle that promotes gradual usage and replenishment of resources is  D : Sustainability

Sustainability in the general term is simply the ability to achieve a level of stability of resources over a very long period of time without depletion of natural resources. and to achieve this one has to ensure a consistent/gradual replenishment of used resources.  while Unsustainability is the opposite of sustainability.

Other options do not comprehensively promote the gradual usage and replenishment of resources

Hence the term that best describes a lifestyle that promotes gradual usage and replenishment is Sustainability.

A. Carrying capacity
B. Limiting factor
C. Climax community
D. Pattern in space
Please and answer thank you!

Answers

Answer:

Most likely B

Explanation:

A - Carrying capacity is the amount of a species that can live in a given area with the given resources, weather does not apply.

B - Limiting factors are things such as food, mates, and competition with other organisms for resources, which can limit the maximum population. Temperature can be applied here, it is the best option.

C - Climax community is when an area's ecosystem is stable, so the term makes no sense used here.

D - To be honest I have no clue what this is. But making an assumption from the term, the winter being "unusually cold" does not make it a "pattern". So I don't think it's this option. I could be wrong, but I assume this is not the right choice.

c. Challenge: You are working with a neuronal cell line isolated from a human brain tumor. It appears to have a neuronal phenotype when grown in culture on laminin coated dishes but appears to have more of a typical round, small (3 to 5 micrometer) phenotype when grown on a standard, collagen-only coated dish or a poly-lysine coated (positive charge only - no ECM component) dish. Under all 3 cases the cells attach to the substrate. You suspect that the reason the neuronal phenotype is supported by the laminin coating is due to the ability of laminin, but not collagen or poly-lysine, to bind to the integrin receptors RGD binding domain thus triggering a molecular cascade that leads to the expression of the neuronal phenotype. How might you test this hypothesis

Answers

Answer:

This process can be performed using immunofluorescence analysis via antibodies.

Explanation:

To test for the hypothesis

To test for the hypothesis we have to  analyze whether the neuronal phenotype is due to the binding of laminin to integrins, and this will enable us to determine which integrins are abundantly expressed on the neuronal cell membrane. This process can be performed using immunofluorescence analysis via antibodies

Finally when no differentiation markers are expressed in the laminin coated plates with mutant cells we can now say that it expresses  integrins
