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).
Risk factors for atherosclerosis include: 1  Age (older than age 60) 2  Male (occurrence in males is 4 to 5 times greater than that of females) 3  Family history (first degree relatives such as father or brother) 4  Genetic factors. 5  High cholesterol. 6  High blood pressure. 7  Smoking. 8  Diabetes. 9  Obesity.
