Biology Questions

Most bacteria divide by binary fission, a form of cell division in which DNA replication and segregation occur simultaneously. This process involves active partitioning of the single bacterial chromosome and positioning of the site of septation.

Bacteria reproduce by binary fission. In this process the bacterium, which is a single cell, divides into two identical daughter cells.

Binary fission begins when the DNA of the bacterium divides into two replicates. The bacterial cell then elongates and splits into two daughter cells each with identical DNA to the parent cell. Each daughter cell is a clone of the parent cell.

In cancer cells, there is breakdown of these regulatory mechanisms. Normal cells show a property called contact inhibition by virtue of which contact with other cells inhibits their uncontrolled growth. Cancer cells appears to have lost this property. As a result of this, cancerous cells just continue to divide giving rise to masses of cells called tumors. Tumors are of two types: benign and malignant.

Aldosterone is a steroid hormone that is produced in the adrenal gland. It is useful and more essential for the conservation of sodium content in the kidney, salivary glands, colon and sweat glands.

Here, Aldosterone increases sodium reabsorption by increasing the number of Na+-K+ ATPase pumps in the luminal membrane of the proximal tubule is the only option that is NOT correct about aldosterone.

Antipsychotic drugs have proved helpful in the treatment of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, inhibits dopamine, reduces delusions, hallucinations, thought disorganization.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) also called benign prostatic hypertrophy (or) prostate gland enlargement is a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that can lead to lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

It is the diagnosis characterized by proliferation of the cellular elements of the prostate.

Symptoms ::

As the prostate gets larger, it starts to pinch the urethra. This causes symptoms that affect your urine flow, such as:

* Dribbling when you finish

* A hard time getting started

* A weak stream, or you pee in stops and starts.
