The formula to calculate variable cost is: Total Variable Cost = Total Quantity of Output * Variable Cost Per Unit of Output. To recognize variable costs, it is important to understand how to categorize costs.

This may result in a genetic disorder or a change in characteristics. Mutations can be caused by exposure to specific chemicals or radiation. For example, cigarette smoke is full of chemicals that attack and damage DNA. This causes mutations in lung cell genes, including the ones that control growth. In time, this can lead to lung cancer. ", "Many mutations have no effect at all. These are called silent mutations. But the mutations we hear about most often are the ones that cause disease. Some well-known inherited genetic disorders include cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, Tay-Sachs disease, phenylketonuria and color-blindness, among many others. All of these disorders are caused by the mutation of a single gene. Most inherited genetic diseases are recessive, which means that a person must inherit two copies of the mutated gene to inherit a disorder", "However, over time, some damage will fail to be repaired and will stay in our DNA. Scientists think this damage—and a decrease in the body’s ability to fix itself—may be an important component of aging. Most DNA damage is harmless—for example, small errors in DNA code, called mutations, are harmless. Other types of DNA damage, for example, when a DNA strand breaks, can have more serious ramifications. ", "DNA Damage: Causes and Effects. The most significant consequence of oxidative stress in the body is thought to be damage to DNA. DNA may be modified in a variety of ways, which can ultimately lead to mutations and genomic instability. This could result in the development of a variety of cancers including colon, breast, and prostate. Here we discuss the various types of damage to DNA, including oxidative damage, hydrolytic damage, DNA strand breaks, and others. Oxidative DNA damage refers to the oxidation of specific bases. 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) is the most common marker for oxidative DNA damage and can be measured in virtually any species. It is formed and enhanced most often by chemical carcinogens. A similar oxidative damage can occur in RNA with the formation of 8-OHG (8-hydroxyguanosine) , which has been implicated in various neurological disorders. Hydrolytic DNA damage involves deamination or the total removal of individual bases.", "Single gene inheritance. Single gene inheritance, also called Mendelian or monogenetic inheritance. This type of inheritance is caused by changes or mutations that occur in the DNA sequence of a single gene. There are more than 6,000 known single-gene disorders, which occur in about 1 out of every 200 births. ", "Alternatively, some genes may be in regions of chromosomes which are more susceptible to genetic damage/change or may contain sequences which are more likely to be altered by spontaneous mutations; the achondroplasia gene is known to contain a hot spot of the latter type (a CpG sequence, discussed below). A third type of spontaneous DNA damage that occurs frequently is damage to the bases by free radicals of oxygen. These arise in cells as a result of oxidative metabolism and also are formed by physical agents such as radiation.", "Mutations are changes in the genetic sequence, and they are a main cause of diversity among organisms. These changes occur at many different levels, and they can have widely differing consequences. ", "Many of these lesions cause structural damage to the DNA molecule and can alter or eliminate the cell's ability to transcribe the gene that the affected DNA encodes. Other lesions induce potentially harmful mutations in the cell's genome, which affect the survival of its daughter cells after it undergoes mitosis. Damage to DNA alters the spatial configuration of the helix, and such alterations can be detected by the cell. Once damage is localized, specific DNA repair molecules bind at or near the site of damage, inducing other molecules to bind and form a complex that enables the actual repair to take place.", "The DNA repair ability of a cell is vital to the integrity of its genome and thus to the normal functionality of that organism.

{ "is_selected": [ 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 ], "passage_text": [ "1 Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a metabolite of testosterone, and a more potent androgen than testosterone in that it binds more strongly to androgen receptors. 2 It is produced in the skin and reproductive tissue. Androgens are also the original anabolic steroids and the precursor of all estrogens. The primary and most well-known androgen is testosterone. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and androstenedione are less known generally, but are of equal importance in male development.", "The AR gene provides instructions for making a protein called an androgen receptor. Androgens are hormones (such as testosterone) that are important for normal male sexual development before birth and during puberty. Androgen receptors allow the body to respond appropriately to these hormones. The receptors are present in many of the body's tissues, where they attach (bind) to androgens. The resulting androgen-receptor complex then binds to DNA and regulates the activity of androgen-responsive genes.", "The androgen receptor (AR), also known as NR3C4 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 4), is a type of nuclear receptor that is activated by binding either of the androgenic hormones, testosterone, or dihydrotestosterone in the cytoplasm and then translocating into the nucleus. In some cell types, testosterone interacts directly with androgen receptors, whereas, in others, testosterone is converted by 5-alpha-reductase to dihydrotestosterone, an even more potent agonist for androgen receptor activation.", "Hormones, though, only bind to certain, compatible receptor types. Thyroid hormones and each steroid hormone group-the estrogens, androgens, progestins, glucocorticoids (stress hormones), and mineralocorticoids (water and ion-regulating hormones) - have a matching hormone receptor type. The hormones can easily bind and activate several versions of their matching receptor type. An example is the estrogen 17-beta-estradiol. It binds to both the ER alpha and ER beta receptors but not to androgen, progestin, or thyroid receptors.", "Normal function of the androgen receptor. Testosterone (T) enters the cell and, if 5-alpha-reductase is present, is converted into dihydrotestone (DHT). Upon steroid binding, the androgen receptor (AR) undergoes a conformational change and releases heat-shock proteins (hsps). Phosphorylation (P) occurs before or after steroid binding. In some cell types, testosterone interacts directly with androgen receptors, whereas, in others, testosterone is converted by 5-alpha-reductase to dihydrotestosterone, an even more potent agonist for androgen receptor activation.", "Androgens and androgen receptors (AR) play a pivotal role in expression of the male phenotype. Several diseases, such as androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) and prostate cancer, are associated with alterations in AR functions. ", "During androgen-independent progression, prostate cancer relies on various cellular pathways, some involving the androgen receptor and others bypassing it. In the former type of pathway, a mutated androgen receptor may be activated by various ligands. The androgen dihydrotestosterone binds to the androgen receptor, dissociating it from heat-shock proteins. The dihydrotestosterone-bound androgen receptor translocates into the nucleus, dimerizes, and binds to the androgen-response elements, thereby activating genes involved in cell growth.", "Androgens promote the growth of both normal and cancerous prostate cells by binding to and activating the androgen receptor, a protein that is expressed in prostate cells (1). Once activated, the androgen receptor stimulates the expression of specific genes that cause prostate cells to grow (2). Treatments that reduce androgen production by the testicles are the most commonly used hormone therapies for prostate cancer. These include: 1 Orchiectomy, a surgical procedure to remove one or both testicles. 2 Removal of the testicles can reduce the level of testosterone in the blood by 90 to 95 percent (4)." ], "url": [ "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgen", "http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/gene/AR", "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgen_receptor", "http://e.hormone.tulane.edu/learning/docking-receptor-binding.html", "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgen_receptor", "http://www.nature.com/aps/journal/v36/n1/full/aps201418a.html", "http://www.mayo.edu/research/labs/androgens-prostate-cancer/androgen-receptor", "http://www.cancer.gov/types/prostate/prostate-hormone-therapy-fact-sheet" ] }
