Summary Introduction

To determine: The way foraging and the lack of estrogen contribute to the development of osteoporosis.

Introduction: Estrogen is a female sex hormone that is responsible for the regulation and development of the female reproductive system.

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.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The factors associated with the risk of developing osteoporosis.

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a disease or disorder that represents the loss of bone density and bone matrix and mineralization.

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.

C.

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.

D.

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.

Question #3: In the KeyGene paper, the authors state that it would be useful if pollen from an apomict would transmit apomixis-inducing genes to the female in the cross (assuming the pollen is viable). Assuming there was just one gene conferring gametophytic obligate apomixis, and that the two parents are inbreds, what would be the consequences of such a cross if: a) The apomixis was a dominant trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the parental cross. b) The apomixis was a recessive trait? Indicate the genotypes and phenotypes (apomict or non- apomict) of the parents, F1 and F2 generations. Remember to include the expected genotypic and phenotypic ratios (or percentages) in the F1 and F2 generations, and to position the female first (left side) in the…
Question #5: Assume that two genes are identified that confer gametophytic facultative apomixis in soybean. The genes show independent assortment. Recessive alleles at both loci are required for the facultative apomixis. Facultative apomixis is triggered when the temperature at pollination is above 20 degrees C. At temperatures below 20 degrees C, all reproduction is sexual, independent of genotype. A facultative apomict male, capable of producing viable pollen, was crossed with a sexually reproducing female. Assuming the parents are completely inbred, what are the predicted phenotypic ratios (apomict: non-apomict) for the F1, F2, and DH (F1-derived) generations at each of the following temperatures*: a) 15°C? b) 25°C? *for full credit, show crosses and genotypes where appropriate. Remember to position the female first (left side) in the cross. Type your answer here:
