Document Summary

Influenza and pneumonia: mortality late (cid:1005)(cid:1012)(cid:1004)(cid:1004)"s/early (cid:1005)(cid:1013)(cid:1004)(cid:1004)"s, tuberculosis, pneumonia, diarrhea, heart disease, liver disease. Idiopathic: categories of disease, congenital and hereditary diseases, result from developmental disturbances, may be caused by genetic abnormalities, abnormalities in the number and distribution of chromosomes, intrauterine injury, or an interaction of genetic or environmental factors. What are some examples of stimuli that induce sublethal adaptive responses: hypertrophy: increase size of cells. Increase size of fat cells in neonates at the onset of puberty. Increase size of uterine cells at the onset of pregnancy. Increased risk of all cancers: very sensitive to uv light. Immune-deficiency: burkitt lymphoma 8/14 translocation, klinefelter syndrome, turner syndrome, multiple x, double y, willia(cid:373)"s ydro(cid:373)e 26 genes missing from the long arm of chromosome.

Intrauterine exposure to environment: causes birth defects due to a challenge during embryonic/fetal development: teratogen identification, regarding single gene defects, contrast dominant, recessive, and x-linked disorders.
