2026 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
Turner syndrome -CORRECT ANSWER ✔️A chromosomal disorder in
females in which either an *X chromosome* is missing, making the person
XO instead of XX, or part of one X chromosome is deleted.
Tay-Sachs Disease -CORRECT ANSWER ✔️A human genetic disease
caused by a recessive allele for a dysfunctional enzyme leads to the
accumulation of certain lipids in the brain.
Seizures, blindness, and degeneration of motor and mental performance
usually become manifest a few months after birth, followed by death within
a few years.
Down syndrome -CORRECT ANSWER ✔️A condition of mild to severe
intellectual disability and associated physical disorders caused by an extra
copy of chromosome 21
Diabetes Insipidus -CORRECT ANSWER ✔️Antidiuretic hormone is not
secreted adequately, or the kidney is resistant to its effect. The *serum
sodium is often elevated* due to excess free water losses.
In your blood glucose levels are normal, but your kidneys can't properly
concentrate urine.
,Cardiac Valve Disease Process -CORRECT ANSWER ✔️In heart valve
disease, one or more of the valves in your heart doesn't work properly.
Regurgitation (or leakage of the valve). When the valve(s) do not close
completely, it causes blood to flow backward through the valve. This
reduces forward blood flow and can lead to volume overload in the heart.
Stenosis (or narrowing of the valve). When the valve(s) opening becomes
narrowed, it limits the flow of blood out of the ventricles or atria. The heart
is forced to pump blood with increased force to move blood through the
narrowed or stiff (stenotic) valve(s).
Cardiac Valve Complications -CORRECT ANSWER ✔️Heart valve
disease can cause many complications, including:
* Heart failure.
* Stroke.
* Blood clots.
* Heart rhythm abnormalities.
* Death.
Respiratory Illness from bats -CORRECT ANSWER ✔️*Viral hemorrhagic
fevers* are spread by contact with infected animals or insects. The viruses
that cause viral hemorrhagic fevers live in a variety of animal and insect
hosts.
Most commonly, the hosts include mosquitoes, ticks, rodents, or bats.
Some viral hemorrhagic fevers can also be spread from person to person.

Anemia due to vitamin B12 deficiency
Anemia due to folate (folic acid) deficiency
Anemia due to iron deficiency
Anemia of chronic disease
Hemolytic anemia
Idiopathic aplastic anemia
Megaloblastic anemia
Pernicious anemia
Sickle cell anemia
Thalassemia
Acid Base Balance - lung and kidney compensation -CORRECT ANSWER
✔️The kidneys have two main ways to maintain acid-base balance - their
cells reabsorb bicarbonate HCO3− from the urine back to the blood and
they secrete hydrogen H+ ions into the urine.
By adjusting the amounts reabsorbed and secreted, they balance the
bloodstream's pH.
Pyelonephritis -CORRECT ANSWER ✔️Inflammation of the renal pelvis
and the kidney
Prostate cancer -CORRECT ANSWER ✔️Cancer of the prostate gland
usually occurs in men middle-aged and older.
