Nitrogenous Bases Amino Acids

Deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid are two
chemical substances involved in transmitting
genetic information from parent to offspring. It
was known early into the 20 th century that
chromosomes, the genetic material of cells,
contained DNA. In 1944, Oswald T. Avery, Colin M.
MacLeod, and Maclyn McCarty concluded that DNA was
the basic genetic component of chromosomes. Later,
RNA would be proven to regulate protein synthesis.
DNA is the genetic material found in most viruses
and in all cel...

Losing Weight Lose Weight

Protein, protein, protein-thats all I hear at my
24 hours gym. I thought that people in my gym
talked about it because protein is what you need
to take in order to build muscles. However, people
used those proteins to lose weight. I was
astonished about this ZONE dieting. This protein
can help build peoples muscles or lose their
weights. Basically, this ZONE dieting is to take
high protein and low carbohydrate instead of not
eats at all. Many people choose something called
40 - 30 - 30. It means...

Genetic Disorder Heart Muscle

Progeria is one of the least known genetic
disorders. There are two types of Progeria, the
only difference being the age group that it
affects. The Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome
is commonly called Childhood Progeria. The second
type of Progeria is Werner's Syndrome, which is
the adult form of Progeria. What basically happens
in this disorder is that age is accelerated seven
times faster than that of a normal person. For
example, for Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome,
a child could look...

Cystic fibrosis is a debilitating disease facing
many people today. At the present time there is no
cure available. According to the cystic fibrosis
foundation of America, cystic fibrosis can be
traced back as early as 1595. The first documented
case was not reported until 1936. One group of
people that seem to be affected the most by cystic
fibrosis is Caucasians. Recent statistics indicate
that 1 in 3, 200 live caucasian births are
afflicted with cystic fibrosis. For reasons that

Excess Dietary Protein And Calcium

... sodium in the water surrounding it.
Ninety-nine percent of the calcium is in bone.
Bone responds to acid by chemical reactions with
the rapid release of carbonate, citrate, and
sodium from the hydration shell (Barzel 1051).
Therefore, in response to chronic acid stress such
as an acid-ash diet, cellular responses mobilize
bone and calcium as a buffer. As the result, more
calcium will be reserved from bone, and excreted
in urine. The effects can be mild in temporary
cases, such as hypercalciu...

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited autosomal

the digestive system and the lungs. This disease
is the most common genetic disorder amongst
Caucasians. Cystic fibrosis affects about one in
2, 500 people, with one in twenty five being a
heterozygote. With the use of antibiotics, the
life span of a person afflicted with CF can be
extended up to thirty years however, most die
before the age of thirteen. 1 Sinc...

hantavirus was involved, many were shocked. This
