You are designing a new bone anchor which is used to secure a suture to the bone. This screw need to be strong and need to be attached securely to the bone. a. Which type of ceramic would you recommend I use ? Why? b. How might this screw fail? c. You decided to create this screw out of a biodegrable ceramic and tested it by implanting it into the femur of a pig. A couple days after implantation, you saw that the femur was inflamed and the wound is not healing well. What might have happened? d. Your friend also decided to. try and make their own screw out of bioglass. A couple weeks after implantation, your friend saw that the surgery site has completed healed with a laver of bone where the screw used to be. They concluded that their screw must have degraded. Do you agree? Why or why not?

I need help with the following question I dont understand a) and b)!!!!! Dr. Sharon Martin and her company have spent years working to identify how the gene for albinism works. The mutation in this gene causes no pigment to be produced in the hair, skin or eyes. Identifying the gene would open the door to curing the condition. Finally, her team succeeds. But, the years of research have been expensive. One way to make back the money is to patent the gene that the team members have identified. Then, anyone who wanted to develop either treatments or tests would have to pay a fee to use the gene. a) Do you think the government should allow this gene to be patented? Explain. b) If Dr. Martin’s company develops a test for this gene, should they be allowed to patent the test? Explain.

Please evaluate the accuracy of each. (Label the statement “ACCURATE” or “INACCURATE”, and if it is INACCURATE, please provide the correct information or scientific evidence.) (i) Claim #1: The shortening of an individual’s telomeres is a sign of poor health and/or of an unhealthy lifestyle. (ii) Claim #2: Babies have longer telomeres because they are actively growing and producing lots of human growth hormone. If you, as an adult, want to be healthier, therapy with human growth hormone will lengthen your telomeres and enable you to live longer. (iii) Claim #3: Lengthening your telomeres will DECREASE your risk of cancer.
