Genetic disorders are inherited from an individual’s parents through the gamete cells that ultimately develop into the offspring. There are three major inheritance patterns that were highlighted: single gene, chromosomal, and multifactorial disorders. It is important for pediatricians to understand both the disorders and the diagnostic tools used due to disorders beginning at conception. Due to the multitude of ways that genetic disorder can arise, there are different diagnostic tools that can be

often confused together as they have very similar physical characteristics. They both have the same shape, size, and appearance, along with no membrane-bound organelles, but they have different ancestral origins and Archaea have more complex RNA polymerases. Each bacterial cell contains a capsule, cell wall, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, flagella, pili, ribosomes, and plasmids. The capsule is the outer layer of the cell and is composed of polysaccharides,

ASSIGNMENT 1: PROPERTIES OF DNA/RNA Introduction: The polymerase chain reaction is an innovative technology, which amplifies a single piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude. The end result is the creation of thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence. PCR is closely patterned after the natural principle of DNA replication. It is a three-step process, referred to as a cycle, that is repeated a specified number of times. One PCR cycle consists of the following steps:

provider will also do a physical exam. Your child may also have tests, including: • Fluid sample tests. • Blood tests. • MRI. • Echocardiography test. This test uses sound waves to take pictures of the inside of the heart. • Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test. This test can identify K. kingae by its genetic makeup, or DNA. TREATMENT Treatment for a K. kingae infection varies based on the severity of the infection. Your child may need to stay in a hospital for care and to prevent
