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).
The plaque buildup that causes atherosclerosis includes fat, cholesterol, calcium and other substances. As this plaque builds up over time, the flow of blood to major organs in the body becomes limited. With a lack of oxygen-rich blood, vital organs can begin to fail. The most common of these is the heart.
