Inherited, eg Down Syndrome Cause: An extra chromosome on the 21st pair of chromosomes (ie trisomy-21). Nutritional Deficiency, eg Scurvy Cause: Due to chronic deficiency of Vitamin C. Environmental, eg Lead Poisoning Cause: Long-term exposure to high levels of lead in contaminated water...

it does vary.. but i don't think by a great deal.

Excellent answer. Nice answer too. :) Except doesn't Aldosterone increase permeability of tubules for ALL salt ions? Koch's postulates were used to specify the causative pathogen/microorganism of a particular disease which produced specific symptoms: 1. The microorganism must be able to...

here are my drawings from MS Paint: LOL

I would've scanned mine, but scanner is not available at the moment. I'll try draw some up in paint for u ;)

An allele is a corresponding member of a gene pair, located on the homologous chromosome. A gene consists of a pair of alleles, one on each corresponding chromatid. eg. the gene for heterozygous tallness (Tt) - T is an allele of t ... and vice versa. Assess social and political...

I'm sure you'll get your 99+ :) by the sound of ur responses. ;) btw, I hope we all get band 6's for bio (the ones participating in this thread) :D

Exclusion - Mangroves have certain roots which are IMPERMEABLE to salt. Hence, mangroves do not absorb excess salts, in response to varying salt concentrations. Secretion - River Mangroves (NSW varieties) have special glands on their leaves which secrete excess salt. When dried, the excess...

The Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service is responsible for inspecting all incoming articles into Australia at all ports of entry, ie airports, mail centres etc. Articles that contain certain organic material (such as insect pests - eg aphids) are seized and incinerated, in order to...

at the moment, its B. Medical Science @ UNSW, coz i can't get over their brand new Chemical Sciences building.. see for urself. but it looks so much better in real life. its like basically ALL GLASS. but i'll probably end up putting B.Science (Nutrition) as my 2nd pref, since i love nutrition...

The source-path-sink theory states that nutrients such as sucrose, hormones and other substances move across a pressure gradient in the phloem tube through translocation. A source cell (companion cell) loads the products/nutrients into the sieve element via apoplastic or symplastic loading (cbf...

lol awesomee :) congrats on the score hahaha here's your modern high tec building: it looks small on the outside, but its massively long, and branches off extensively. but don't despair... there are some nice modern rooms inside the building (including the tutorial room which has...

yeah i posted one a bit further up. Question for the rest lol: Explain how public health programs, pesticides and genetic engineering strategies have controlled or prevent disease.

yeahh the pharm building looks like a little cottage from the outside lol.. but its pretty cool inside (still got that antique feel tho). the labs are niceee i like them, but they are also old school. if u got 150+ in STAT, which you obviously have... then you're half way there. :) i ended...

ooo awesome... hopefully will ;) :) is it ur 1st pref? howd u go in stat? did u go to the USyd open day this year and check out the pharmacy building nd labs?

Mutations may be both beneficial and harmful. Some mutations of genes such as the tumor-supressor p-53 gene may cause uncontrolled cell growth leading to cancerous tumours that may be fatal. However, there are some chromosomal mutations that may create new alleles. These new alleles may bring...

For two years, Mendel bred pure-breeds of plants, for 7 different characteristics. lol from what i remember they were: -tall and short -round seed and wrinkled seed -yellow pod and green pod -terminal flowers and axillary flowers lol cant remember the rest... He then crossed pure breed...
