Sex linked traits refer to traits encoded by genes that are found on the sex chromosomes (X and Y). Humans have a diploid (2n) chromosome number, meaning that there are two copies of each of the 23 chromosomes in the cell. Chromosomes 1-22 are non-sex chromosomes, called autosomes. The...
Approximately 70 loci implicated in non-syndromic forms of deafness have been reported in humans and 24 causative genes have been identified(1) (see also http://www.uia.ac.be/dnalab/hhh). We report a mouse transcript, isolated by a candidate deafness gene approach, that is expressed almost...
What are some examples of multiple alleles in humans? What traits experience a change in a genetic drift? What are genetic imprinting mutations? What is an example of a silent mutation? Give examples of pleiotropy. Sex-linked traits are carried on what chromosome?
It is widely accepted that metabolic disorders, such as obesity, are closely linked to lifestyle and diet. Recently, the central role played by the intestinal microbiota in human metabolism and in progression of metabolic disorders has become evident. In this context, animal studies and human tria...
ECs in drinking water may have adverse health effects on humans but are not regulated in water law [57, 77]. ECs are difficult to manage because they often do not conform to the patterns of existing regulations and analytical techniques aimed at detecting traditional drinking water pollutants [...
The persistence or otherwise of the domain core in humans and other vertebrates is an important consideration for the development of antiviral therapeutic agents for human and veterinary medicine, as well as in regard to both wild and domesticated animals as coronavirus hosts. Here are some odd flu...
Humans have a set of IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE antibodies, whereas chickens have IgA, IgM and IgY (this being the equivalent of mammalian IgG). Some immune genes are either completely missing in birds or are only present in particular species [21] and immune gene families have ...

Two isoforms of COX (COX-1 and COX-2) have been cloned and characterized (Simmons et al 2004). COX-1 and COX-2 are the products of different genes. COX-1 is considered a "housekeeping gene" by virtue of constitutive low-levels of expression in most cell types. However, high levels ...
