7At the first step of erythropoiesis, the cell is called a

(2 Answers)- AThiamine (B1)

12Silencing of genes occurs by a donor molecule adding a [blank_start]methyl[blank_end] group to a specific section of a DNA strand.
- Amethyl
13The [blank_start]Folate[blank_end] Cycle is important for regulating the conversion of the [blank_start]U[blank_end] base of RNA to the [blank_start]T[blank_end] base of DNA. Disruption of this can cause nuclear maturation leading to macrocytic anaemia.
- AT
- BA
- CC
- DG
- EU
- FG
- GC
- HA
- IFolate
- JMethionine
- KCobalamin
14The [blank_start]Methionine[blank_end] Cycle (regulated by Vitamin [blank_start]B12[blank_end]) is important for the production of a donor molecule for DNA methylation, so that certain genes can be 'silenced'. Disruption of this cycle can cause defective nuclear maturation and thus macrocytic anaemia.
- AMethionine
- BFolate
- CCobalamin
- DB12
- EB9
15The Methionine Cycle regards the conversion of [blank_start]homocysteine[blank_end] to methionine via Vitamin B12 in order to produce a donor molecule for DNA strand methylation
- Ahomocysteine
16B12 Absorption System:
B12 enters stomach and is immediately bound by the [blank_start]R[blank_end]-binding protein- AR
17B12 Absorption System:
Which protein is then released by stomach cells to bind to B12?
[blank_start]Intrinsic Factor[blank_end]- AIntrinsic Factor
18B12 Absorption System:
Which type of cells release intrinsic factor from the stomach?
The gastric [blank_start]parietal[blank_end] cells- Aparietal
19B12 Absorption System:
B12 dissociates from R-binding protein and binds to Intrinsic Factor, before moving as this complex to the [blank_start]distal[blank_end] [blank_start]ileum[blank_end] where it dissociates from Intrinsic Factor and is absorbed via specific receptors.- Adistal
- Bproximal
- Cileum
- Dduodenum
- Ejejunum
20B12 Absorption System:
The receptors which absorb Vitamin B12 in the distal ileum after it has dissociated from Intrinsic Factor are called [blank_start]Cubulin[blank_end] Receptors- ACubulin
21A 67 year old man presents to you with chronic fatigue and nausea & vomiting. He has a past medical history of Vitiligo and Rheumatoid Arthritis. What is the most likely diagnosis for this man?
[blank_start]Pernicious Anaemia[blank_end]- APernicious Anaemia
22Anaemia caused by the autoimmune destruction of the gastric parietal cells is called [blank_start]Pernicious anaemia[blank_end]
- APernicious anaemia
23Pernicious Anaemia results in the deficiency of which protein needed for B12 absorption?
[blank_start]Intrinsic Factor[blank_end]- AIntrinsic Factor
