LHON is a mitochondrial disease caused by weak hypomorphic mutations that affect the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Among the first symptoms of the disease is blindness. People with LHON are usually homoplasmic because retinas must be homoplasmic mutant for a person to have disease symptoms.

A) She may have children who are blind due to LHON. B) Some cells in her body are probably homoplasmic. C) She is likely to develop the disease in other parts of her body. D) All of her children will be homoplasmic for the wild-type mitochondria.

Science is subdivided into specific areas of study termed disciplines. These divisions are artificial but are helpful to narrow the massive scope of scientific knowledge to a manageable amount. Given what you know about each, which scientific division is likely to present the best answer to a question about how fluid dynamics affect blood pressure in mammals?
A. biophysics - study of biological processes through physics B. bioinformatics - use of technology to study and store biological data C. biochemistry - study of chemical reactions needed for life function, usually at the cellular level D. biology - study of life
