called diploid). This means there are two copies of the same gene in an animal’s DNA. Sometimes each of these will be partially expressed. For example‚ in a person having one copy of a gene that codes for normal hemoglobin and one coding for sickle-cell hemoglobin‚ about half of the hemoglobin will be normal and the other

Pernicious Anemia and its association to orthostatic hypertension Pernicious anemia is the major form of vitamin B12 deficiency. It is caused by serum antibodies against intrinsic factor which leads to B12 deficiency rather than by B12 deficiency itself. Absorption of vitamin B12 requires intrinsic factor which is secreted by parietal cells. Pernicious anemia is marked by autoimmune attack on gastric mucosa and a loss in parietal cells. Approximately 75% of the affected patients have type I antibody

Campbell’s Biology‚ 9e (Reece et al.) Chapter 5 The Structure and Function of Large Biological Molecules In Chapter 5‚ the principles of chemistry covered in earlier chapters are applied to the understanding of biological polymers and lipid membranes. The emphasis is on properly linking monomers and their polymers‚ and on the structural and functional diversity of the different polymer types. Particular attention is given to protein structure‚ because this is central to understanding subsequent

Impacts of Ammonia Ammonia impacts both the environment and human health. * Environmental Impacts * Human Health Impacts Environmental Impacts When in gaseous form‚ ammonia has a short atmospheric lifetime of about 24 hours and usually deposits near its source . In particulate form ammonia can travel much further impacting a larger area. Both gaseous and particulate ammonia contribute to eutrophication of surface waters‚ soil acidification‚ fertilization of vegetation‚ changes in ecosystems

INTRODUCTION Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy‚ previously known as Pregnancy Induced Hypertension (PIH)‚ are high blood pressure disorders of pregnancy. It has long been one of the major problems for mothers in pregnancy‚ along with infection and postpartum hemorrhage. PIH is classified as gestational hypertension‚ mild preeclampsia‚ severe preeclampsia and eclampsia‚ depending on how far development advances. A woman is said to be preeclamptic when her blood pressure increases and shows protein

gene therapy because the processes are same as injecting DNA into the body. Gene therapy is meant to be restoring the function related to damaged gene but gene doping is purpose of enhancement of athletes. One type of the gene doping increases the hemoglobin‚ which produces more oxygen and provides better performance. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has a prohibited list identifying substances and methods in sports. The prohibited list is a global code and harmonization of anti-doping movement.
