It is possible to use molecular genetic techniques to characterize the T cells found in psoriasis plaques and compare them to the T cells found in healthy skin. In healthy skin, T cells have a wide diversity of T cell receptors. In other words, there are many different T cell clones found in healthy tissue. In psoriasis plaques, there are fewer T cell clones, but often there are a large number of T cells representing only a small number of clones (this is called oligoclonal expansion). There are usually many more T cells in total found in psoriasis plaques relative to healthy skin. Think about the implications of this finding. What conclusion is NOT supported by these findings

Mike was adopted, and his biological family history is unknown. although he is healthy, he would like some understanding of his genetic makeup, including potential health risks and genes that he could pass on to his children. mike has heard about commercial laboratories that can compare segments of your dna to those of people with common hereditary diseases in order to give you some idea of how susceptible you are to the diseases. the results of these types of tests are highly inconclusive. if mike's dna showed that he shares similarities in a segment of dna with people who have a given disease, his chances of developing that disease or passing it on to his children may be slightly elevated, but they are not 100 percent. these tests can cost more than $2,500 and are not covered by many insurance companies. do you think that mike should undergo the genetic tests? explain your answer. what are the potential pros and cons of having such tests done? describe how the availability of these genetic tests might affect the frequency of genetic diseases in individuals and populations.

Apopulation of black bears depends on salmon from a stream for food. if a drought causes the stream to run dry one year, how will this likely impact the black bear population?
