You have just discovered a drug that is able to inhibit DNA ligase.
You add this DNA ligase inhibitor to a cell population and let these cells divide. You then isolate the DNA from the daughter cells and analyze it. Before the analysis, the DNA molecules were denatured (the DNA strands were separated into single strands). What do you expect to see?
Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are known as injuries and disorders that affect the human body`s movement or musculoskeletal system. It includes some body parts such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, discs, blood vessels, etc. On the other hand, Work Related-Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMSDs) have been caused by the continuous and long-term high repetitive task, sudden exposure to lifting or carrying of heavy loads, excessive force, working in an awkward body posture and vibration. Prepare a flyer on MSDs which should comprise the following information:
1. Introduction to MSDs;
2. Risk factors of MSDs;
3. MSDs symptoms; and
4. MSDs prevention and control.
What do you know about the main ways to maintain genetic cell homeostasis? What are they characterized by?
In order for you to understand science words better you should know a way on how to define the words in context. The way the word is used gives you a clue as to its meaning. Find the definitions of the italicized words.
1. One of the capabilities of cells is its ability to divide .
2. Genetics is the study of heredity and variation.
3. Chromosomes carry hereditary information, known as DNA.
4. Cell division involves the division of nuclear materials followed by the division of cytoplasm.
5. All living things grow because your cells get bigger and number of your cells gets larger.
A female in her sixties (Mrs J) makes an appointment with her GP because she has been suffering with pains in her legs and having difficulty walking. She is also having problems with her vision. She presents as overweight, bordering on obese. When questioned about her appetite she mentions that she seems to feel thirsty a lot of the time. The GP takes a blood sample and asks the patient to provide an MSU urine specimen. After using a dipstick on both samples, the GP arranges for the patient to attend the clinic for a glucose tolerance test. The results are in Table 1 below.
