| ARTICLES RELATED TO chromosome | | |  |  |  | chromosome: Encyclopedia II - Yersinia pestis - Pathogenicity and immunityPathogenicity is due to two antiphagocytic antigens, named F1 and VW, both required for virulence. They are produced by the bacterium at the temperature of 37°C, so this explains why insects, such as the flea, harbor non-virulent bacteria. Furthermore, Y. pestis survive and produce F1 and VW antigens within blood cells such as monocytes, but not in polymorphonuclear neutrophils. Natural or induced immunity is achieved by the production of specific opsonic antibodies aga ...

| |  |  |  | chromosome: Encyclopedia II - Jurassic Park - Changes from the NovelA fair number of differences exist between the book and the movie. Some of these differences are the subtraction of characters, an altered timeline, and in addition the characters themselves are altered from their novel counterparts.
Ian Malcolm, as he appears in the book, is a rather sardonic but brilliant man who couldn't truly appreciate the accuracy of his failure theories because he is badly injured and immobilized by a dinosaur attack. Malcolm's vitriolic monologues are toned down for the film.
Grant's relationship with Ellie Sattler in the book was purely professio ...

Human genome - Chromosomes.
There are 24 distinct human chromosomes, numbers 1-22 plus the sex-determining X and Y chromosomes. Chromosomes 1-22 are numbered roughly in order of decreasing size. Each somatic cell in a healthy individual has one copy of chromosomes 1-22 from each parent, plus an X chromosome from the mother, and either an X or Y chromosome from the father, for a total of 46.

|  |  |  | chromosome: Encyclopedia II - Lactate dehydrogenase - Enzyme isoformsEvery lactate dehydrogenase molecule consists of four subunits, where each subunit is either H or M (based on their electrophoretic properties.) There are, therefore, five LDH isotypes:
LDH-1 (4H) - in the heart
LDH-2 (3H1M) - in the reticuloendothelial system
LDH-3 (2H2M) - in the lungs
LDH-4 (1H3M) - in the kidneys
LDH-5 (4M) - in the liver and striated muscle
Usually LDH-2 is the predominant form in the serum. An LDH-1 level higher than the LDH-2 level (a "flipped pattern"), s ...

|  |  |  | chromosome: Encyclopedia II - Lactose intolerance - Managing lactose intoleranceThere is no "treatment" or "cure" to lactose intolerance, per se. There have been some cases where the intolerance has somehow diminished with time; this has not been studied scientifically, however, and whether it is a case of desensitization remains to be seen. It should be remembered that lactose intolerance is not an all or nothing condition: the reduction in lactase production and hence amount of lactose that can be tolerated varies from person to person, and may change with age, although almost always a change is for the negative. The ...

|  |  |  | chromosome: Encyclopedia II - Luteinizing hormone - ActivityIn both males and females, LH stimulates the production of sex steroids from the gonads. Leydig cells in male testes respond to LH by producing testosterone, while theca cells in the female ovary respond to LH by producing androgens and estrogens.
In females, a LH surge about halfway through the menstrual cycle triggers the onset of ovulation. LH also induces the ovulated follicle to become a corpus luteum, which then secretes progesterone.
LH levels are normally low durin ...

|  |  |  | chromosome: Encyclopedia II - Histone - StructureThe nucleosome core is formed of two H2A-H2B dimers and two H3-H4 dimers, forming two nearly symmetrical halves by tertiary structure (C2 symmetry; one macromolecule is the mirror image of the other). The H2A-H2B and H3-H4 dimers themselves also show pseudodyad symmetry.
The 4 'core' histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) are relatively similar in structure and are highly conserved through evolution, all featuring a 'helix turn helix turn helix' motif (which allows the easy dimerisation). They also share the feature of long 'tails' on one end of the amino acid structure - this being the location of post-tran ...

Heritability of autism - Twin studies.
Twin studies are a helpful tool in determining the heritability of disorders and low-prevalence human traits in general. They involve determining concordance of characteristics between identical (monozygotic or MZ) twins and between fraternal (dizygotic or DZ) twins. Possible problems of twi ...

Although not all features show these patterns of Mendelian inheritance, his work suggested the utility of the application of statistics to the study of inheritance. Since that time many more complex forms of ...
