Industry:Anthropology
A measure of all of the harmful recessive alleles in a population or family line. A high genetic load would be one in which there is a high frequency of deleterious recessive alleles.
Industry:Anthropology
A group of similar life threatening diseases found mostly in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Malaria is caused by any of four different microorganisms called plasmodia (Plasmodium falciparum, vivax, ovale, and malariae). These single-celled organisms are transmitted from person to person mostly by anopheles mosquitoes as they extract blood. Symptoms of malaria include chills, high fever, and sometimes fatal irregularities of the brain, liver, kidney, and/or blood. There are at least 100,000,000 new cases of malaria reported annually around the world. Approximately 1,500,000 people die from it each year (mostly children--3,000 children die of malaria every day).
Industry:Anthropology
A genetic pattern in which an individual has two distinct cell groupings--one with normal cells and another with a genetic problem. For instance, some people with Down syndrome produce both normal somatic cells and cells with an extra.
Industry:Anthropology
A kind of positively charged subnuclear particle (consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons) given off by some isotopes when they decay or fission.
Industry:Anthropology
A category of extremely small microscopic parasites of plants, animals, and bacteria. Viruses are not cells but rather RNA or DNA molecules surrounded by a protein coating. Since viruses cannot reproduce without a host cell, they are not strictly speaking living organisms. There are many kinds of viruses.
Industry:Anthropology
A multinational research effort designed to identify and map the location of all human genes. The idea of a Human Genome Project began at a 1984 international conference in Utah. Research to decode the human genome began in earnest in 1986, funded by the U. S. Department of Energy. The initial stage of discovering all human DNA codons was completed early in 2001 at a cost of 2. 7 billion dollars. The next phase of research will be to identify the proteins for which these genes code. This decoding of the human proteome will be an even more daunting task than the original Human Genome Project. See genome.
Industry:Anthropology
A presumed human "race" consisting mostly of sub-Saharan Africans. This classification is based on the discredited typological model. The term "Negroid" was derived from the Latin word for the color black.
