1. The fact that body weight has a heritability of 0.55 means that

a. 55 percent of the variation in weight among individuals can be attributed to environmental factors.
b. 55 percent of the variation in weight among individuals can be attributed to genetics.
c. 45 percent of the variation in weight among individuals can be attributed to environmental factors.
d. 45 percent of the variation in weight among individuals can be attributed to genetics.

2. Obesity has a heritability of 0.75, compared to 0.55 heritability for body weight in general. This difference most likely means that

a. genes may play a greater role in people who gain weight easily than in the general population.
b. genes play a lesser role in people who gain weight easily than in the general population.
c. environmental factors play a greater role in predisposing a person to become obese than do genetic factors.
d. about 75 different genes have variants associated with obesity.

3. According to body mass index,

a. Kizzy is overweight, Tawanda is obese, and Suzanne is a healthy weight.
b. Kizzy and Tawanda are obese and Suzanne is a healthy weight.
c. Kizzy is obese, Tawanda is overweight, and Suzanne is underweight.
d. Kizzy is of normal weight, Tawanda is overweight, and Suzanne is obese.

4. The cousins’ initial view that body weight is controlled by variants of a single gene or the environment alone is incorrect because

a. genome-wide association studies have implicated at least 50 genome regions in containing genes that affect body weight.
b. many genes are known to affect weight.
c. it is obvious that diet and exercise affect body weight.
d. the heritability is not even close to 1.0
e. all the above

5. Kizzy has to go through several months of medical tests before weight loss surgery is approved. A young physician, proud of being up to date on genetics in medicine, considers the darkness of Kizzy’s skin, which is similar to that of her mother, Yvonee, and…

In two to three pages write the experimental section of the lab report for The Synthesis of Sulfanilamide

/in /by

In two to three pages write the experimental section of the lab report for The Synthesis of Sulfanilamide. I will attach a lab report example, look at theexperimental section that starts at page 7, and use that as an example of how it should be written. I will also attache the general procedure for this lab in which you will use in writing this section.
thank you and let me know if you have any quotations.

Experiment #1: Sulfa Antibiotics -Synthesis of Sulfanilamide INTRODUCTION Many people think of the term chemotherapy as relating to specific modern drug treatments used to fight cancer. Actually, modern chemotherapy began in the early 1900’s with the work of Paul Ehrlich, a German medical doctor and researcher, who is known as the father of immunology and chemotherapy. Ehrlich hypothesized that certain dyes could selectively “stain” harmful bacteria cells without harming host cells. He referred to such compounds as “magic bullets” and coined the term chemotherapy as a general descriptor for chemical remedies targeted to selectively kill infectious cells. This definition includes all antibiotics as well as the more recently developed chemotherapeutic agents targeted to selectively kill cancer cells. Ehrlich’s pioneering work on antibiotics, led, among other remedies, to the discovery of salvarsan, an organoarsenic compound found to be highly effective for treatment of syphilis (replacing mercury which had often disastrous side effects). He was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1908. Building on Ehrlich’s early work, Gerhard Domagk, a medical doctor employed by a German dye manufacturer made a breakthrough discovery by finding that a dye known as prontosil, dosed orally, was effective in curing life threatening streptococci infections in humans. He made the discovery in a desperate, but successful attempt to save his daughter who was dying of a streptococci infection. Domagk’s discovery led to an extremely productive period of discovery in antibiotics. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1939. In 1936, a year after Domagk’s discovery of the anti-streptococcus activity of the dye prontosil, Ernest Fourneau of the Pasteur Institute in Paris discovered that prontosil breaks down in the human body to produce sulfanilamide which is the active agent that kills streptococcus bacteria. Fourneau’s discovery triggered a flurry of research on structural…

The purpose of my report is to discuss how good the health care is and that is the main question of my report.

The purpose of my report is to discuss how good the health care is and that is the main question of my report. Health care in our country need a lot of work and development which will reduce the Medical errors. I will discuss the quality of hospitals and it’s as medical staff, buildings, and equipment. If we want to raise the quality of health care we should work to increase the capacity of medical staff to carry out their duties to the fullest and improve the design of buildings to serve large numbers of patients with a high quality using some strategies that will “hopefully” lead us to find logical solutions for the problems.
