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).
Introduction. Atherosclerosis is a slow disease in which your arteries become clogged and hardened. It is the underlying cause of most cases of heart attack, stroke, and vascular dementia, and is found in 80 to 90% of Americans over the age of 30.lood clots may form, blocking the artery and cutting off blood supply to other organs. Some people do not have the classic risk factors of atherosclerosis (such as cigarette smoking and high blood pressure). It is possible that there may be other causes, such as an infection.
