Chapter 1, Problem 3CT
Design a test (or series of tests) to support or refute this hypothesis: People who have no family history of high blood pressure (hypertension) but who eat a diet high in salt are more likely to develop high blood pressure than people with a similar family history but whose diet is much lower in salt.

1. AP site is produced from the removal of abnormal bases from the affected portions by deoxyribose phosphate lyase.
2. Lengthening of the telomeres allow the survival of cancer cells due to the heightened activity of telomerases.
3. The lagging strand produces the Okazaki fragments away from the replication forks requiring multiple primers.

1. The breakdown of ATP provides the required energy in the catalytic action of DNA ligase and DNA helicase. *
2. Telomere shortening is repaired by telomerases by using an RNA template to lengthen the three prime overhang so primase and DNA polymerase alpha can lengthen the shortened strand. *
3. Homologous recombination repair is used in double strand-breaks where a matching chromosome is used as a template. *
4. DNA polymerase I and DNA polymerase alpha could add and remove nucleotides from the newly synthesized strand.…

- Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion An individual, Jack, is concerned because his sister, Karen, was recently diagnosed with Huntington disease. Jack is 45 years old and currently asymptomatic. If 40% of 45-year-olds with HD are already symptomatic, what is the chance that Jack has HD? 5/7 2/7 5/8 3/8arrow_forwardAssuming all blood types are equally common, people with what blood types would have the best and worst odds of finding a donor?arrow_forwardYour patient is an 85-year-old man with congestive heart failure (CHF). BP = 145/87. He has been very ill and hasn't been eating. A blood test shows that he has hypoproteinemia (low levels of protein in the blood). Would an intravenous (IV) infusion of albumin be an appropriate treatment? Why or why not? Yes, because it would help with blood clotting. No, because it would help with blood clotting. Yes, because it would lead to an increase in blood volume. No, because it would lead to an increase in blood volume. Yes, because it would decrease his blood pressure. No, because it would decrease his blood pressure. Yes, because since he doesn't have enough protein in his blood, you should add more. No, because since he doesn't have enough protein in his blood, you should add more.arrow_forward
- Hemoglobin is an enzyme containing amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Select one: True Falsearrow_forwardGive typed explanation A calibrated burette is being used to deliver a medication. Order: IV Methylprednisolone 10 mg diluted in 40 mL D51/2NS to be delivered over 20 minutes with a 10 mL flush. The dosage of medication is in 5 mL. What flow rate in drops per minute (gtt/min) is needed to deliver the the medication and the flush?arrow_forwardA higher level of hemoglobin in the blood increases the blood’s density. This is the basis for a simple test that can be used to see if a prospective blood donor has a high enough hemoglobin level to donate safely. A drop of blood is placed in a copper sulfate solution, and the time for the drop to sink to the bottom is measured. If this time is too long, the hemoglobin level is toolow. Explain how this test works.arrow_forward
- Based on stochastic issues, allelic drop-out/drop-in and varying statistical models what statistic do you like the best and why? Make sure you compare and contrast the statistic of your choosing against the statistics you did not choose.

- In a case-control aimed at studying exposure to perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and asthma, the following data were collected: A=10 B=209 C=50 D=230 Create a two-by-two table and calculate the OR for the association between exposure to PFAS and asthma. Interpret the results.arrow_forwardThe trait of blood pressure in humans has a frequency distributionthat is similar to a normal distribution. The following graph showsthe ranges of blood pressures for a selected population of people.The red line depicts the frequency distribution of the systolic pressuresfor the entire population. Several individuals with high bloodpressure were identified, and the blood pressures of their relativeswere determined. This frequency distribution is depicted with a blueline. (Note: The blue line does not include the people who wereidentified with high blood pressure; it includes only their relatives.) What do these data suggest with regard to a genetic basis for highblood pressure? What statistical approach could you use to determinethe heritability for this trait?arrow_forwardMonozygotic twins: Question 2 options: a) Share 50% of their genetic material and if one twin has schizophrenia the risk of the other having the illness if 40-50% b) Share 100% of their genetic material and if one twin has schizophrenia, the risk of the other having schizophrenia is 10-15% c) Share 100% of their genetic material and if one twin has schizophrenia, the risk of the other having schizophrenia is 40-50% d) Share 50% of their genetic material and if one twin has schizophrenia the risk of the other having the illness is 10-15%arrow_forward
