Hemophilia

Hemophilia a blood-clotting disorder.

Symptoms

• Bleeding in the mouth.
• Nosebleeds that occur for no reason.
• Contentious bleeding for a small cut.
• Contentious headaches or Pain in your neck or stiffness.
• Problems while walking or with arms
• Seizures
• Double vision
• Bruising
• Clotting Problems
  

How Hemophilia is Inherited

• Hemophilia can be detected before birth by testing abiotic fluid for mutations in the individual. Hemophilia is noticed in the first 3 to 6 months of birth.
  
• Females are born with two X chromosomes from their mother and father and males inherit an X and Y chromosome the X from the mother and the Y from the father. Only females carrier the defective X chromosome which is the disease ,she will not have the disease but will give the disease to all her male children.
• Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive trait.
  

• If a mother is a carrier and the father doesn't have hemophilia the children may have the disease and may be carriers the sons have a 50% chance of having the disease and the daughters have a 50% chance of being carriers.
• If a father is a hemophiliac while the mother does not have the disease , then all their sons will not receive the disease while their daughters will become carriers. This is a rare case due to how it is unlikely for both parents to be hemophiliac.
• When there are no hemophiliacs in your family there is a chance a child may be a hemophiliac due to mutations in the genes.
  

Testing of Parents To Determine Carriers of the Hemophilia Genes

• Since women are likely to be the main carriers of hemophilia they can go through many test to find out if they carrier the defected X chromosome. A simple test for a women to undergo is giving a blood sample and doctors check for the DNA mutation or they can go through the linkage testing when hemophilia is present in family members.
• Hemophilia is variably expressed the environment plays a big part in how the disorder is expressed. Things like falling, dentist visits, surgery, or other unexpected injury's.

Earth Day 3-2-1

What are three things you learned?

• One thing that I learned was that the Earth will become so polluted that the air would be toxic to breathe if we don't go green.
• The second thing that I learned was that there would be less worrying about not polluting the air we breathe and about things we as people shouldn't worry about.
• The third thing that I learned was that if people didn't listen then they wouldn't save money or cut any heating costs or energy costs.

What are two things you found interesting?

• One thing I found interesting was the many things people can do to help with pollution like carpooling, using less electricity and other things like this.
• The Second thing that I found interesting was that the littlest things can help pollution on.y if people just take the time out to help.

What is one question you still have?

• How long will it take for the Earth to pollution free?

FIVE Astronomy Topics

Black Holes -are really just black holes whcih are formed by a star three times as big as the sun.Black holes where discovered in 1916 ny a Greman astronomer Karl Schwarzschild.Black holes have such a strong gravitational pull that can pull anything within it radius into the hole.

Pluto -which is a dwarft plante was dicovered in 1930 and from the 1930s to 2006 pluto was a planet. Throught out the years we have benn able to see that pluto is way to small and clod plus tyo fat away from the sun to be a plante. Pluto is still part of our solar system just not cualtified as a planet.

Dwarf plant- there are eight dwarf planets know of in our solar system. Dwarf planets are in orbit around the sun. They also have nearly round bodies which has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium.

Kuiper Belt- is a ring of orbiting celestial bodies. The ring is made of small astronomical objects orbiting through the outer solar system, beyond the farthest planets, Neptune and Pluto. The Kuiper Belt is believed to be the source of comets.

Asteroid Belt- The region of the solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, where most of the asteroids are found. The Asteroid Belt or Main Belt, probably contains millions of asteroids ranging widely in size. There are more than 20,000 numbered asteroids in the asteroid belt.
