A mixture of liquids with different boiling points like water and ethanol or crude oil which is a mixture of hydrocarbons. It can also be used to separate a solution into its â¦ solvent and solute, for example salt solution (salt water) could be separated into water (solvent) and salt (solute).
Most of our success in understanding the genetic basis of common forms of atherosclerosis has come from studies of âcandidate genes,â genes identified by biochemists and subsequently examined for genetic differences and associations in populations. A good example of a candidate gene is apolipoprotein E (apoE).
Atherosclerosis is a condition in which circulating lipids, such as fats and cholesterol in the bloodstream, collect along the walls of arteries. This fatty material thickens and forms structures called plaques that narrow, and may eventually block blood flow through, the arteries.therosclerosis is the most common cause for heart attack and stroke. Most commonly, people develop atherosclerosis as a result of diabetes, genetic risk factors, high blood pressure, a high-fat diet, obesity, high blood cholesterol levels, and smoking.
