The process and outcomes of genetic translation, the roles of mRNA, tRNA, and ribosomes in protein synthesis. Introduction: DNA is a genetic material consisting of a long stretch of nucleotide sequences with 2 m length. It carries genetic information from one generation to another. A complete list of DNA sequence is known as a genome, which includes coding and non-coding regions of the DNA. Gene is defined as a segment of DNA that codes for mRNA and protein synthesis from the mRNA sequence. The total human genome consists of 3.1 billion base pairs with 20,000 protein coding genes. The average length of a single gene is nearly 3000 base pairs size, and it may go up to 2.4 million. DNA replication is the first step in the central dogma of biology followed by transcription and translation. In replication, two identical copies of DNA sequences are produced from the single DNA sequence. Synthesis of mRNA from DNA is known as transcription, followed by translation, in which protein is synthesized from the mRNA sequence.

In as much detail as possible, hand draw a schematic diagram of the hypothalamic-pituitary- gonad (HPG) axis in the human male. Be sure to include all the relevant structures and hormones. You must define all abbreviations the first time you use them. Please include (and explain) the feedback loops.

A negligence action was brought by a mother against a hospital on behalf of her minor daughter. It alleged that when the mother was 13 years of age, the hospital negligently transfused her with Rh-positive blood. The mother's Rh-negative blood was incompatible with and sensitized by the Rh-positive blood. The mother discovered her condition 8 years later during a routine blood screening ordered by her healthcare provider in the course of prenatal care. The resulting sensitization of the mother's blood allegedly caused damage to the fetus, resulting in physical defects and premature birth. Did a patient relationship with the transfusing hospital exist?
