A mixture of liquids with different boiling points like water and ethanol or crude oil which is a mixture of hydrocarbons. It can also be used to separate a solution into its â¦ solvent and solute, for example salt solution (salt water) could be separated into water (solvent) and salt (solute).
Most of our success in understanding the genetic basis of common forms of atherosclerosis has come from studies of âcandidate genes,â genes identified by biochemists and subsequently examined for genetic differences and associations in populations. A good example of a candidate gene is apolipoprotein E (apoE).
ADPKD is caused by a problem with one of two genes in your DNA -- PKD1 or PKD2. These genes make proteins in kidney cells that let them know when to grow. A problem with either gene causes kidney cells to grow out of control and form cysts. Many genetic diseases happen when a person gets broken genes from both parents, but with ADPKD you need only one faulty gene to have the disease.
