Ch7 Q2: The nucleus contained more like a nucleic acid, a long chain-like molecule.
ReplyDeleteCh8 Q7: The instrument of contamination does not have a specific name but are silver electrodes.
Ch9 Q1: Te human growth hormone was first isolated in the 1950's.It was from a pituitary gland that was attached to the base of the brain that secretes hormones to regulate growth and metabolism.
Ch7 Q6: They proved to be odd organism, not much more than a strand of DNA or RNA coated with protein.
ReplyDeleteCh8 Q2: The Viennese physician call the women's condition to be Fuchs's dystrophy.
Ch9 Q4: JRo suffered from multiple hormone deficiencies: not only growth hormone but also thyroid and insulin.
CH7 #1: under a microscope.
ReplyDeleteCH8 #1: damage to the cornea.
CH9 #8:Neurological disease.
ch7 #10: first way: the scrapie agentswitched on a damaging reaction tht was normally repressed in the
ReplyDeletehost.second way: the scrapie agent reproduce aberrant forms of normal host protein until they accumulate and cause lethal damage.
ch8 #4: They found that only chlorine bleach could reliably kill the scrapie agent. They recommended using it to decontaminate floors and other surfaces where any tissue might have fallen.
ch9 #6: After the autopsy, it was found that there were classic pathological signs of spongiform encephalopathy diagnostic of CJD.
I agree with Christina's Choices. They were on spot and explained them with a lot of detail. I also agree with Sherry's Chapter 9 question 4 because it also had a lot of facts that made perfect sense to me. Thank you for doing this.
