Chapter 28, Problem 3AQ
Summary Introduction

To explain:

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a disease that can be eliminated since it spread through person to person contact and there is no any known animal reservoir. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Introduction:

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus which causes Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) disease in humans. The virus infects the human as host and it replicates inside the immune system destroying the leucocyte cell counts, which is a primary defence of the human body. Due to the destruction on immune cells in a person’s immune system gets weakened and ends in fatality. There is no cure for AIDS.

Summary Introduction

To explain:

Designing a program for eliminating HIV/AIDS in a developed country and in a developing country and how would these programs differ?

Summary Introduction

To explain:

What factors would work against the success of your program, both in terms of human behavior and in terms of HIV/AIDS disease progression?

Summary Introduction

To explain:

Why are the numbers of HIV/AIDS patients continuing to grow, especially in developing countries?

Summary Introduction

To explain:

HIV/AIDS incidence (new cases) in developed countries has been virtually unchanged in this century. The numbers of individuals living with HIV/AIDS, however, is increasing. Explain this contradiction.

You implant an FGF10-coated bead into the anterior flank of a chicken embryo, directly below the level of the wing bud. What is the phenotype of the resulting ectopic limb?  Briefly describe the expected expression domains of 1) Shh, 2) Tbx4, and 3) Tbx5 in the resulting ectopic limb bud.
Design a grafting experiment to determine if limb mesoderm determines forelimb / hindlimb identity. Include the experiment, a control, and an interpretation in your answer.
The Snapdragon is a popular garden flower that comes in a variety of colours, including red, yellow, and orange. The genotypes and associated phenotypes for some of these flowers are as follows: aabb: yellow AABB, AABb, AaBb, and AaBB: red AAbb and Aabb: orange aaBB: yellow aaBb: ? Based on this information, what would the phenotype of a Snapdragon with the genotype aaBb be and why?   Question 21 options:   orange because A is epistatic to B   yellow because A is epistatic to B   red because B is epistatic to A   orange because B is epistatic to A   red because A is epistatic to B   yellow because B is epistatic to A
