What is a Peroxisomal Disorder?

Q.

Are prions living?

Q.

There is a rare illness called mad cow disease. It is also called as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). This disease affects cows nervous system causing a cow to act strangely. According to scientists, a person is at higher risk of getting a human form of the disease, CJD (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease), when he/she eats BSE-infected meat. You have studied various disease-causing agents. Which agent do you think is responsible for this rare disease for which there is no treatment yet?

Q. Prions

1. have ss RNA
2. cause diseases only in humans
3. are larger than viruses
4. are abnormally folded proteins

Q.
