2000 A.D. would be expressed as MM in Roman numerals.
What is 300 percent as a mixed number?
300 percent would not be expressed as a mixed number - 300 percent would be expressed as 3.
How do you write 78 million?
Expressed in figures, this would be equal to 7,800,000. Expressed in words, this would be seven million eight hundred thousand.
What is three percent of ten thousand dollars?
A percentage is expressed as a decimal. 100% would be expressed as 1.0 3% (3/100) would be expressed as 0.03 3% of 10,000 = 0.03 x 10,000 = 300
How would 1.1billion be expressed numerically?
1,100,000,000
When was CFTR - AM - created?
CFTR - AM - was created in 1962.
How many introns are in CFTR?
none, CFTR is intron free.
What does a CFTR gene stand for?
It is the gene for cystic fibrosis. CFTR means Cystic Fibrosis Transport Regulator.
What role does cftr play in the body?
The CFTR gene provides instructions for making a protein called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator.
How does cystic fibrosis effect the cell membrane?
Cystic fibrosis is caused by defective CFTR protein. CFTR is an ion channel that transports chloride ions across epithelial cell membranes.
What happens to The protein called CFTR in cystic fibrosis?
Its name is CFTR and is a membrane channel for chlorine ions. Genetic defects in CFTR brings to an increased concentration of chlorine ions that lead to a greater viscosity of mucus in several mucosae in lungs and pancreas.
Where is the national headquarters of CFTR?
The national headquarters of the CFTR is located in the city of Boston. Boston is a city that can be found in the state of Massachusetts, which is part of the United States.
Which amino acid is missing in the CFTR protein in people with cystic fibrosis?
phenylalanine
What cells are affected by cystic fibrosis?
The protein affected by cystic fibrosis is called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator or CFTR. CFTR acts as a channel that transports negatively charged chloride ions into and out of cells. This helps control the flow of water in tissues. CFTR also regulates the function of other channels that transport positive sodium ions into and out of cells.
How can genetic engineering improve cystic fibrosis?
They isolated functional CFTR gene. Then they inserted the CFTR gene into nondisease-causing adenovirus virus. Last, they infected the patient´s airway cells with virus carryinhg the healthy CFTR gene.
Is cystic fibrosis chromosomal abnormality?
Yes, it is caused by a mutation in the gene for the protein CFTR.
Does cystic fibrosis have extra chromosomes?
No cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutated CFTR gene.
