Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a genetic disorder characterized by the absence of functional T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes, resulting in impaired adaptive immune system. There are several known types of SCID caused by mutations in different genes. The most common treatment is bone marrow transplantation, with success seen in transplants done in early infancy. Gene therapy is also being explored as a potential treatment through inserting missing genes into hematopoietic stem cells, though past trials increased leukemia risk and more research is still needed.
Lethal genes are genes that lead to the death of an organism. There are several types of lethal genes including early onset lethal genes that cause death during embryogenesis, late onset lethal genes that have delayed effects causing death over time, conditional lethal genes that only kill under certain environmental conditions, and semi-lethal genes that kill some but not all individuals. Some of the first observations of lethal genes included work in 1907 by E. Baur on snapdragon plants where homozygous aurea plants lacked chlorophyll and died, and work in 1905 by L. Cuenot on mouse coat color inheritance where yellow mice could not be obtained in homozygous condition.
severe combined immunodeficiency syndromeFatima Sayeed
Severe combined immunodeficiency syndrome (SCID) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the absence of both T cells and B cells. This leaves the body unable to fight infections and affected infants often develop severe, life-threatening infections within the first year of life if untreated. There are 13 known genetic causes of SCID. The main treatment is a bone marrow transplant from a matched donor, which can cure the condition if performed early in life. Gene therapy is also being explored as a potential treatment.
Severe combined immunodeficiency [compatibility mode]asteinman
Severe combined immunodeficiency is a primary immune deficiency that causes problems with T cells and B cells, leading to frequent infections, skin infections, failure to grow, and fungal infections. It can be fatal if not treated early in an infant's life. The disorder is caused by genetic defects linked to the X chromosome or chromosomes 19 and 20, including defects in the ADA and IL2RG genes. Treatments include bone marrow transplants from identical donors, living in a sterile bubble, and gene therapy, though the latter is not always successful.
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a group of genetic disorders where the immune system is missing or not functioning properly, resulting in little to no immune response. The two most common types are X-linked SCID, caused by a mutation on the X chromosome preventing the development of T cells, and adenosine deaminase deficiency SCID, where a lack of the enzyme adenosine deaminase prevents maturation of lymphocytes. Without treatment like bone marrow transplant or gene therapy, patients with SCID develop serious infections very early in life.
This document summarizes combined immunodeficiency (CID), a disorder characterized by defects in the production or maturation of T cells and/or B cells, leaving the body without necessary immunity. There are two main types of CID - mutagenic defects due to genetic mutations and enzyme deficiencies from lack of enzymes. Mutagenic CIDs can be autosomal recessive or X-linked. Treatments discussed include bone marrow transplantation, gene therapy, passive antibody administration, and enzyme replacement.
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), also known as "bubble boy disease", is a genetic disorder where the immune system is impaired or absent. It affects both B cells and T cells. SCID can be diagnosed through newborn screening and symptoms include life-threatening infections in the first months of life. Treatment options include preventing infections, enzyme therapy for some types of SCID, gene therapy, and bone marrow transplantation which has been successful using matched or half-matched donors. The original "bubble boy" David Vetter died after transplantation due to an unscreened virus in his donor marrow.

Despite greatly improved understanding of endothelial heterogeneity, the number of molecules discriminating human arterial and venous endothelium remains limited. Indeed, there have been few reports validating markers proposed in animal model studies in freshly isolated human tissues. We report here the global characterization of freshly isolated human umbilical arterial and venous endothelial cell (HUAECs and HUVECs) plasma membrane proteins using an experimentally validated label-free quantitative LC-MS/MS platform.
Lymphocytopenia and COVID19 A Literature Reviewijtsrd
The novel coronavirus SAR CoV 2 has resulted in huge wave of worldwide fear by its contagious nature, virulence and high mortality. Persistence condition of the disease with T cells and Natural killer cells exhaustion leads to Lymphopenia or Lymphocytopenia. Lymphocytopenia is a condition of low lymphocyte count in the blood. Lymphocytopenia is an important adverse effect of COVID 19 as well as negative prognostic marker in many malignancies. It leads to hyper activation of immune system that can cause immunosuppression and promote cytokine storm that eventually leads to multi organ failure and death. Restoration of lymphocytes and its function would be helpful to boost the immune response against COVID 19 disease. This review analyses the possible causes that may lead to the lymphocyte reduction in COVID 19 patients, and highlighting the possible therapeutic strategies that will help to control and prevent lymphocytopenia in COVID 19 patients.

The document summarizes a study investigating the use of interferon gamma (IFNγ) as a potential prophylactic or therapeutic treatment for Ebola virus infection. The researchers found that IFNγ treatment made macrophages resistant to Ebola virus infection by blocking viral RNA synthesis. IFNγ stimulation in human macrophages altered the expression of over 160 genes, including 3 factors - GBP5, RARRES3, and VAMP5 - that were found to inhibit Ebola virus infection. Mouse studies showed that IFNγ reduced morbidity and mortality from Ebola virus infection and protected mice from the virus. The researchers concluded that IFNγ is a novel and effective therapeutic option for Ebola virus.
Genetic variation and evolution and their importance to medicineDavid Enoma
Genetic variation is the driving force of evolution and is important in medicine. Single nucleotide polymorphisms are the most common genetic variation and can influence disease risk and drug responses between individuals and populations. Understanding genetic variation through studies of populations and single genes can provide insights into human evolutionary history, disease susceptibility, and treatment effectiveness.
Immunofluorescence in diagnosis of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and...Kike Medina
The document discusses the use of immunofluorescence in diagnosing rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN). It notes that RPGN can be classified into three types based on immunofluorescence patterns: type I features antibodies against the glomerular basement membrane and accounts for 20% of cases; type II shows immune complex deposition in the glomerulus and makes up 25% of cases; the remainder are type III or pauci-immune RPGN characterized by antibodies against neutrophils. Antibody titers alone cannot determine prognosis or disease activity.
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), also known as bubble boy disease, is a genetic disorder where both the B cell and T cell arms of the immune system are impaired. There are several types of SCID resulting from defects in different genes. Symptoms include life-threatening infections from an early age. Treatment involves preventing infections, enzyme therapy, gene therapy, or bone marrow transplant from a matched or half-matched donor to rebuild the immune system. Transplants have been successful but carry risks, as seen in the original "bubble boy" who died from a virus in his transplanted marrow.

This document summarizes four genetic diseases: Duchenne muscular dystrophy, severe combined immunodeficiency, sickle cell anemia, and Down syndrome. It discusses their causes, symptoms, and treatments. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X-linked disorder caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene, leading to muscle degeneration. Severe combined immunodeficiency results from defects in adenosine deaminase, impairing immunity. Sickle cell anemia involves a mutation replacing beta globin, causing misshapen red blood cells. Down syndrome is a chromosomal disorder from an extra copy of chromosome 21.
This study examined the biochemical responses and plant survival of summer dormant and summer active tall fescue populations under drought conditions. Two summer dormant tall fescue populations and one summer active cultivar were grown with and without endophyte under non-irrigated conditions at humid and semi-arid sites. The summer dormant populations had lower expression of dehydrins, superoxide dismutase, and phenolic compounds compared to the summer active cultivar, indicating reduced metabolic activity. However, the summer dormant populations achieved 96-99% survival while the summer active cultivar had lower survival rates. The results suggest summer dormancy allows for reduced biochemical activity and improved drought survival in tall fescue.

This document summarizes a study on the detection of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae in replacement gilts from different sources over time. The study found that 53.4% of self-replacement gilts from positive farms tested positive for M. hyopneumoniae, compared to only 30.7% that always tested negative. Detection rates were highest between 150-330 days of age. The study concluded that self-replacement gilts have a greater risk of shedding M. hyopneumoniae at farrowing than purchased gilts that undergo acclimation in the gilt development unit. Detection patterns were similar for all-in all-out and continuous flow systems.
Prion diseases, also known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, are caused by misfolded prion proteins. Stanley Prusiner coined the term "prion" to describe the infectious proteinaceous particle that causes these diseases. Prion diseases include Kuru, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, scrapie, bovine spongiform encephalopathy, and chronic wasting disease in humans and animals. Prion diseases can be infectious, inherited, or sporadic depending on whether they are transmitted between individuals or caused by genetic mutations or spontaneous misfolding of the prion protein.

3. The causes of mutations are discussed as DNA replication errors, external influences like chemicals or radiation, and during processes like genetic recombination.
Immunosenescence refers to the gradual deterioration of the immune system that occurs with natural aging. As people age, their immune systems become less effective at fighting infections due to atrophy of the thymus gland, changes in the function of B and T cells, and a decline in the production of new immune cells from the bone marrow. This aging of the immune system, known as immunosenescence, is associated with increased risk of infectious diseases and inflammation-related conditions like arthritis. While immunosenescence occurs naturally, certain therapies may help enhance immune function in older individuals.

This document discusses different types of genes including: complementary genes, duplicate genes, polymeric genes, modifying genes, and lethal genes. It provides examples of each gene type and how they interact to influence inheritance and traits. Complementary genes require two genes to work together to produce a trait. Duplicate genes have the same effect on a trait. Polymeric genes have an additive effect. Modifying genes influence other genes. Lethal genes cause death and can be dominant, recessive, sex-linked, or conditional.
Lethal genes are genes that cause death or reduced viability in individuals carrying them. Some lethal genes cause death early in development like at the zygote or embryonic stage, while others act later in development. There are three main types of lethal genes: recessive lethals, which only cause death when homozygous; dominant lethals, which reduce viability even in heterozygotes; and conditional lethals, which require a specific condition like temperature to express their lethal effects. One of the first lethal genes discovered was the Y gene in mice, which causes death when homozygous (YY) but not when heterozygous (Yy).

This document provides definitions and explanations of key concepts in Mendelian genetics. It discusses Mendel's laws of segregation, independent assortment, and dominance. It also summarizes exceptions to Mendelian ratios, including lethal alleles, incomplete dominance, codominance, and other factors like epistasis, pleiotropy, genetic heterogeneity, variable expressivity, and incomplete penetrance.
This document discusses how environmental factors can influence gene expression. It provides examples of how temperature, light, chemicals, and nutrition can all impact the expression of genes in rabbits, maize plants, fish embryos, and humans. The document also covers different types of lethal alleles, including recessive, dominant, conditional, sex-linked, and conditional lethal alleles. Recessive lethal alleles do not cause death unless an organism carries two copies, while dominant lethal alleles are expressed in both homozygotes and heterozygotes. Conditional lethal alleles only cause death when certain environmental changes are introduced. Sex-linked lethal alleles are carried on the X chromosome.
This document discusses several genetic concepts including epistatic interactions, atavism or reversion, lethal genes, penetrance, expressivity, and pleiotropism. It provides examples for each concept to illustrate how they occur and influence phenotypic expression. Epistatic interactions can result in less than four phenotypes in a dihybrid cross. Atavism is when an F1 offspring resembles a more remote ancestor rather than its immediate parents. Lethal genes can cause death at different developmental stages or modify phenotypic ratios. Penetrance and expressivity describe how fully and variably a genotype is expressed, which can be influenced by environment. Pleiotropic genes have multiple phenotypic effects.
Gregor Mendel was an Austrian monk who is considered the father of genetics. In the mid-1800s, he conducted experiments breeding pea plants and discovered the basic principles of heredity. He found that traits are passed from parents to offspring through discrete factors that we now call genes. Mendel's work laid the foundation for modern genetics and showed that inheritance follows specific biological rules.

This document summarizes key concepts in genetics and heredity. It defines variations as differences between individuals of a species, which can provide advantages and allow selection by the environment. Heredity determines which traits are reliably passed from parents to offspring. The document discusses Gregor Mendel's experiments with pea plants that established the laws of inheritance, including his studies of monohybrid and dihybrid crosses. It also notes that sex determination varies between species, with human sex being largely genetically determined by inheritance of X or Y chromosomes from the father.
GENETICS-AND-HEREDITY: an overview to geneticsJadidahSaripada
Gregor Mendel conducted breeding experiments with pea plants in the 1860s and discovered the basic laws of inheritance. Through his work breeding and tracking thousands of pea plants over many generations, Mendel was able to deduce that traits are passed from parents to offspring through discrete units, now known as genes, and that these genes assort and segregate based on mathematical probabilities. Mendel's discoveries laid the foundation for genetics as a science, though his work was not widely recognized until after his death.
Genetic disorders can occur in livestock animals due to mutations in genes or chromosomal abnormalities. In cattle, common genetic disorders include dwarfism, osteopetrosis (marble bone disease), tibia hemimelia, and pulmonary hypoplasia with anasarca. Sheep disorders include spider lamb syndrome and rectal prolapse. Chicken disorders include bent toes and split wings. Goats can experience epidermolysis bullosa or the fainting goat condition. Prevention of genetic disorders in livestock is important for economic reasons and involves selective breeding practices like culling affected animals and avoiding inbreeding to reduce homozygosity.

This document discusses various ways that alleles can alter phenotypes and modify Mendelian ratios. It describes different types of mutations that can cause loss or gain of function. It also explains genetic symbols used to represent alleles and different inheritance patterns such as incomplete dominance, codominance, lethal alleles, and epistasis. Multiple examples are provided to illustrate these concepts, such as coat color in mice, fruit color in squash, and flower color in peas. The key point is that while principles of segregation and independent assortment still hold, gene interactions can produce novel phenotypes and modified dihybrid ratios expressed in sixteenths.
Genetics is the study of genes and heredity. Gregor Mendel conducted experiments with pea plants in the mid-1800s and is considered the father of genetics. Through his experiments, he discovered the basic principles of inheritance, including dominant and recessive traits, alleles, and the particulate nature of inheritance. Mendel's work laid the foundation for modern genetics and our understanding of how traits are passed from parents to offspring.
This document discusses several concepts related to genetics:
1. It describes incomplete dominance and codominance, using the example of flower color in petunias.
2. It explains lethal alleles and how they can cause death in homozygous or heterozygous individuals. Examples given include coat color in mice and genes in cattle and humans.
3. Multiple alleles are discussed, which have varying levels of dominance and control traits like eye color in fruit flies and coat color in rabbits.
This document discusses several concepts that extend beyond Mendel's laws of inheritance:
- Incomplete dominance occurs when neither allele of a gene is fully dominant, resulting in an intermediate phenotype in heterozygotes. Examples given include flower color in plants and cholesterol levels in humans.
- Multiple alleles exist when a gene has more than two alleles in a population. The ABO blood group in humans, which has A, B, and O alleles, is provided as an example.
- Sex-linked traits involve genes located on the X or Y chromosome, rather than autosomal chromosomes. Examples of X-linked traits that mainly affect males like hemophilia and Duchenne muscular dystrophy are described.
Heredity and evolution of biology topic bDevegowdaKt1
This document provides information about heredity and evolution. It defines key genetics terms like heredity, variation, genetics, and discusses Gregor Mendel's experiments with pea plants that established the laws of inheritance. Mendel's work demonstrated that traits are passed from parents to offspring through discrete units called genes. The document also covers sex determination in humans and other animals.
This document discusses human genetics and genetic disorders. It begins by noting statistics on genetic abnormalities in newborns and diseases with a genetic component. It then defines genetics, genomics, proteomics, and single nucleotide polymorphisms. The rest of the document discusses molecular bases of human disease including functional and positional cloning. It classifies human diseases and discusses mutations, Mendelian disorders, X-linked disorders, and autosomal dominant and recessive patterns of inheritance. Key points covered include definitions of genetic terms, Mendel's laws of inheritance, mechanisms of various disorders, and inheritance patterns.

Gregor Mendel performed experiments on garden peas to formulate the laws of genetics. He conducted monohybrid and dihybrid crosses to study the inheritance of single and double pairs of traits. His experiments showed that traits are transmitted from parents to offspring through discrete units of heredity called factors, now known as genes. The phenotype is the observable physical trait, while the genotype is the genetic makeup underlying the phenotype.
1. Frederick Griffith conducted an experiment in 1928 that showed a "transforming principle" in bacteria, demonstrating that genetic information could be transferred between bacterial strains.
2. He found that mice injected with a mixture of dead, heat-killed bacteria and live bacteria died, and the bacteria in their blood showed a transformation from the normally harmless strain to the deadly strain.
3. This established that some kind of genetic information was being transferred, pioneering the discovery of DNA as the mechanism of inheritance over 30 years later.
Mendel discovered inheritance principles through pea plant experiments. Gametes contain one allele per gene. During meiosis, alleles separate and recombine in offspring. Dominant alleles mask recessives. Many human genetic diseases are recessive traits on autosomes, though some are dominant, codominant, or sex-linked. Punnett squares can predict offspring genotypes from parental alleles. Test crosses determine if an individual is homozygous or heterozygous dominant. Multiple alleles exist for some traits like blood type.

This document provides information about epidermal tissues, trichomes, and stomata. It discusses that the epidermis forms the outer protective layer of leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits. It contains parenchyma cells and can form hair-like unicellular or multicellular trichomes that protect against water loss and other factors. The epidermis also contains numerous minute openings called stomata that allow for gas exchange between internal tissues and the atmosphere. Stomata come in different types defined by the number and arrangement of neighboring cells. Their main functions are transpiration and gas exchange to support respiration and photosynthesis.
Taxonomy of Angiosperms: Family Liliaceae Anjali Naik
This document provides a taxonomy and description of plants in the Liliaceae family. It discusses the classification, distribution, botanical description, morphology, floral morphology and economic importance. Key points include that Liliaceae includes about 250 genera and 3700 species with a cosmopolitan distribution. Most are perennial herbs but some are shrubs, trees or climbers. Economically important plants include onions, garlic, lilies and medicinal plants like Aloe vera.
This document discusses chromosomes and their structure and function. It begins with the historical discovery of chromosomes in 1875 and defines them as stainable nuclear components that duplicate and are passed from parents to offspring. It describes the main types of chromosomes, including autosomes and sex chromosomes. It details the structure of chromosomes and their compaction into nucleosomes and higher order packaging. Key parts like the centromere and kinetochores are explained. The functions of chromosomes in heredity, growth, and determining sex are summarized. Special giant chromosome types like polytene and lampbrush chromosomes found in insect salivary glands and amphibian oocytes respectively are also outlined.
Chromosomal aberrations refer to disruptions in the normal chromosomal content of a cell and are major causes of genetic conditions in humans. There are two main types of chromosomal aberrations: numerical abnormalities which involve an atypical number of chromosomes, and structural abnormalities which alter the structure of chromosomes. Examples of numerical abnormalities include aneuploidy, such as trisomy which is the presence of three copies of a chromosome instead of the normal two copies. Structural abnormalities include deletions, duplications, inversions, and translocations which involve portions of chromosomes being removed, duplicated, inverted, or transferred between chromosomes. Common genetic disorders associated with chromosomal aberrations include Down syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Plant Cytogenetics: Inheritance of Lethal genes.
1. B.SC. III: SEMESTER-VI
PAPER XIX: GENETICS AND
BIOTECHNOLOGY
INHERITANCE OF LETHAL GENES
Dr. A.S. Naik,
Head, Dept. of Botany
SBES College of Science
2. Explanation of inheritance
of lethal genes.
This is a deviation from Mendel’s classic onohybrid inheritance.
◦ Definition: Genes which result in viability reduction of individual or
become cause of death of individuals that carry them.
◦ F2 shows genotypic ratio other than Mendel’s monohybrid ratio,
as 2:1 and two phenotypic classes also in same proportion.
◦ Some examples:
1. Genes controlling chlorophyll content in leaves.
2. Coat colour in mice: Yellow, black, agouti
3. Hutington disease in humans.
7. Inheritance of lethal genes in Antirrhinum majus
(Snapdragon)
◦ E. Baur (1907) observed lethal gene in Snapdragon (Antirrhinum) and found that it is
characterized by variegated leaves.
◦ The “golden” variety on selfing gives rise to 2 types of offspring, golden and green in
the ratio of 2:1 instead of 3: 1.
◦ The golden ones are heterozygous and the green ones breed true being recessive
homozygous.
◦ The recessive allelic combination results in plants with no chlorophyll (albino) that die.
8.
9. Inheritance
of lethal
genes in
Antirrhinum
• Genotype GG: Dark green leaves with
adequate chlorophyll
◦ Gg: golden-green leaves (auria)
◦ Genotype-gg: White (colourless) leaves.
◦ Genotype GG breeds true-only green leaved
plants
◦ If parents with aurea leaves crossed: Gg X Gg
◦ gametes of Gg: G and g
◦ Will produce F2 with changed genotypic and
phenotypic ratios.
10. Male
parent
Female parent
G g
G GG (Green) Gg (Aurea)
g Gg (Aurea) gg (albino, Lethal)
Genotypic Ratio of F2: GG ¼: Gg 2/4: gg ¼ (Lethal, dies)
Hence gets modified as 2:1
Phenotypic ratio: Aurea : Green-2:1
F2:
11. Other examples:
Coat colour in mice.
◦ Example of dominant lethal genes
◦ Dominant allele in homozygous
condition proves lethal.
12. Lethal genes
in humans.
◦ Examples of human diseases caused by recessive
lethal alleles include cystic fibrosis, sickle-cell anemia, and
achondroplasia. Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant bone
disorder that causes dwarfism. While the inheritance of one
achondroplasia allele can cause the disease, the inheritance of
two recessive lethal alleles is fatal.
◦
13. Assignment on Lethal genes
1. In Snapdragon, Green plants are produced by gene ‘C’ that controls adequate production
of chlorophyll. It is dominant over its allele ‘c’, that produces no chlorophyll and plants are
albino. The homozygous condition of the ‘c’ is lethal due to total lack of chlorophyll whereas
heterozygous condition ‘Cc’ produces yellow-green/Auria plants.
◦ What genotypic and phenotypic proportion can be expected from the following crosses?
(a) CC X Cc (b) Cc X Cc (c) CC X cc (d) Cc X cc
◦ 2. In cattle, gene ‘A’ produces phenotypically normal legged animals and is dominant over
its allele ‘a’ producing animals with amputated legs. The gene ‘A” in homozygous recessive
condition-‘aa’ has a lethal effect on animals. Find out phenotypic proportion of the offspring
expected from the following crosses.
◦ (a) AA X Aa (b) Aa X Aa (c) AA X aa (d) Aa X aa
