Explanation of Solution

Osteoporosis is a bone disease in which the amount of bone density starts decreasing. This disease also reduces bone matrix and mineralization. It found as the result of multiple diseases or disorders that connect with the aging process. The WHO (World Health Organization) definesthat osteoporosis affects 10 million individuals age 50 years older. In female postmenopausal osteoporosis caused estrogen deficiency because cancellous bone starts diminishing.

Explanation of Solution

Osteoporosis defines as the imbalance between bone resorption and formation where the bone resorption exceeds bone formation. These factors play a crucial role in occurring osteoporosis. Disorder of osteoporosis contributes to the loss of bone, which depends upon the age, gender, activity level, and nutritional status.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way to measure bone density.

Introduction: Bone density is defined as the amount of bone mineral present in the bone tissue of an individual.

Explanation of Solution

The diagnostic method is used to identify the osteoporosis in which an individual loses bone density. To measure bone density, the use of the BMD test is preferred. The BDM test is known as a central dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry. This test measures bone density at the portion of the hip and lumbar spine.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The two essential factors associated with preventing osteoporosis.

Introduction: An individual can gain bone mass by doing weight lifting exercises such as walking, jogging, rowing, and weight lifting.

Explanation of Solution

The early detection and prevention of osteoporosisare important to prevent an individual from fracture and deformity. To prevent the high risk of osteoporosis, an individual does regular exercise and intake an appropriate amount of calcium and vitamin D.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The medication is used to treat backache and loss of weight due to osteoporosis.

Introduction: An individual can prevent themselves by taking calcium-rich products such as milk, paneer, curd, and citrus fruit.

Explanation of Solution

 An individual suffering from osteoporosis is recommended to make medicines. There are multiple types of medication used to treat backache and loss of weight, such as biphosphates, selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), calcitonin, and RANKL inhibitor denosumab.

Using Punnett Squares Punnett squares are one good way to predict the outcome of genetic crosses. Punnett squares use mathematical probability to help predict the genotype and phenotype combinations in genetic crosses. The number of possible alleles from each parent determines the number of rows and columns in the Punnett square. Independent Assortment KEY QUESTION How do alleles segregate when more than one gene is involved? Mendel wondered if the segregation of one pair of alleles affects another pair. For example, does the gene that determines the shape of a seed affect the gene for seed color? This type of experiment is known as a two-factor, or dihybrid, cross because it involves two different genes. Single-gene crosses are monohybrid crosses. Visual Reading Tool: Two-Factor Cross: F₂ The Punnett square shows the results of self-crossing the F, generation of a cross between round yellow peas and wrinkled green peas. 1. List the different genotypes in the F, generation. What is the…
CHAPTER 12 LESSON 2 Applying Mendel's Principles READING TOOL Connect to Visuals Before you read, preview Figure 12-7. Try to infer the purpose of this diagram. As you read, compare your inference to the text. After you read, revise your statement if needed or write a new one about the diagram's purpose. Take notes on the lines provided. Then view the Punnett square and answer the questions below regarding the genotypes and phenotypes. Inference: Revision: Parent 2 rryy Gametes F ry Parent 1 RRYY Gametes RY RrYy The F, generation are all RrYy. 1. What is the phenotype of parent 1?. 2. What is the genotype of parent 1? 3. What is the phenotype of parent 2? 4. What is the genotype of parent 2? 5. What is the phenotype of the F, offspring?. 6. What is the genotype of the F, offspring?. 7. What kind of cross does this figure describe? 144 Chanter 12 Introduction to Genetice Copyright Pearson Education Inc. or its affiliator. All rights reserved.
