Biology – Applications of Genetics Biology – Applications of Genetics 1. Selection based on combinatorial variation Combinatorial variation is the recombination of parental genes during sexual reproduction, creating offspring with genotypes and phenotypes different from their parents. Combinatorial variation is the main source of raw material for breeding. Applications: Creating purebreds: These are breeds with…
Biochemical Mixtures: Buffer Systems, Analysis and Clinical Applications Biochemical Mixtures: Buffer Systems, Analysis and Clinical Applications 1. Buffer Systems in the Body The human body requires maintaining a stable internal environment, particularly the pH of blood. Normal blood pH fluctuates within a range of 7.35 – 7.45 mmol/L, regulated by buffer systems. Buffer systems consist…
Basedow’s Disease: An Autoimmune Thyroid Disorder Basedow’s Disease: An Autoimmune Thyroid Disorder 1. Pathogenesis: Basedow’s disease, also known as Graves’ disease, is an autoimmune disorder in which the body produces antibodies against components of the thyroid gland, leading to increased thyroid activity. Autoimmunity: The body’s immune system attacks the thyroid gland, creating antibodies against thyroid…
Basal Cell Carcinoma Basal Cell Carcinoma: Introduction: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 75% of all skin cancer cases. BCC usually originates from the basal cells of the hair follicles. Causes: Sunlight: Exposure to sunlight, especially ultraviolet (UV) radiation, is the main risk factor for BCC.…
