Skin cells, I think. Hemophilia is when you can't heal outside wounds so I'm
pretty sure it's skin.
The person lacks certain protein for clotting factors. Platelets are used to clot the blood and make a person stop bleeding. Bleeding can occur internally as well as externally.
What else can I help you with?
Is Hemophilia mutated allele that produces a defective form of the protein hemoglobin?
False; Hemophilia is caused by a mutated allele that produces a defective form of the protein fibrin.Sickle Cell Disease is caused by a defective form of hemoglobin.
Hemophilia is caused by a defiency of what clotting factor?
Hemophilia is caused by a deficiency of clotting factor VIII (hemophilia A) or clotting factor IX (hemophilia B).
What type of cell destroys body cells infected with microbes?
Cytotoxic T cells are a type of cell that destroys body cells infected with microbes. They recognize infected cells by detecting specific antigens on their surface and then release toxic substances to kill the infected cell.
A woman is a carrier for hemophilia what is the chances for sons with hemophilia if the father does not have hemophilia?
There are no hard answers to this, it depends strictly on luck. The statistics are though not very good for their children. Statisically the couple have a chance of having a normal son, a daughter that is a carrier for hemophilia, a daughter with hemophilia and a son with hemophia.
What is the main difference between hemophilia and sickle cell anemia in the way in which it is inherited?
Hemophilia is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern, meaning it primarily affects males who inherit the affected X chromosome from their carrier mother. Sickle cell anemia is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning both parents must pass on a mutated gene for the child to develop the condition regardless of gender.
Why do people with hemophilia run the risk of having hepatitis?
Not all people with Hemophilia have AIDS or HIV. Due to very lax screening in blood/plasma collection centers and inadequate screening and purification on the manufacturing ends during the 1980s many hemophiliacs were infected with HIV by the medications used to treat hemophilia. Roughly 50% of the hemophilia population (or 10,000 individuals) in the United States were infected during the 1980s in this manner. Today, the number of people with hemophilia in the united states is estimated to be roughly 20,000. Approximately 2500 of the original 10,000 infected hemophilia patients are still alive. Looking at the numbers today, this means that only 12.5% of the hemophilia population has HIV and/or AIDS.
Are people with Hemophilia prevented of getting Malaria?
No, hemophilia does not confer an advantage against malaria. People with sickle-cell anemia do have an immunity, of sorts.
Can a person have both sickle cell and hemophilia diseases at the same time?
Yes, Sickle cell affects the red blood cells while hemophilia is a condition where an extracellular protein is deficient in the person's blood.
The cell infected by a virus is referred to as the?
The cell infected by a virus is referred to as the host cell. The virus hijacks the host cell's machinery to replicate and produce more virus particles.
Hemophilia is a sex linked recessive disorder Mary does not have the disease but both of her brothers do Neither of her parents have the disease What are Marys parents genotypes indicates pr?
Mary's father is normal and has a normal genotype XY while her mother is the carrier of hemophilia and has one X of her genotype infected i.e. she is X*X.
What is a blood disease?
Examples: anemia, hemophilia, sickle-cell disease, leukemia, thalassemia, etc.
Does a virus use ATP?
no, that is supplied by the infected cell.
How do CD8 T cells kill infected cells in the immune response process?
CD8 T cells kill infected cells by releasing proteins called perforins and granzymes. Perforins create pores in the infected cell's membrane, allowing granzymes to enter and trigger cell death. This process helps eliminate the infected cell and stop the spread of the infection.
Hemophilia is caused by a mutated allele that produces a defective form of the protein hemoglobin?
False, Sickle Cell Disease :))
What do you call a cell that has been infected with a virus?
It is called a host cell. The virus attaches to the cell and injects its DNA into the cell. The virus's DNA overruns the "instructions" that the cell has and "tells" the cell to make copies of the virus using the DNA. Then the cell makes so many copies of the virus, that it explodes. The new viruses then go on to attach to other cells.
Will hemophilia deteriorate your body?
Hemophilia itself does not deteriorate a person's body. If left untreated, frequent bleeding into joints such as ankles, elbows and knees can lead to joint damage and cartilage deterioration. Due to the contamination of the blood supply and unsafe production methods for the hemophilia medications pre 1993, many hemophiliacs were infected with agents such as Hepatitis C and HIV. These viruses can lead to deterioration of the liver and imune systems.
What is a disease in which the blood does not clot normally?
Hemophilia is one disease in which blood does not clot normally. von Willebrand's Disease
