It might also be an important cause of hip osteoarthritis (OA). Therefore in this study we evaluated the frequency of cam-type FAI in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) patients as a potential alternative cause of hip or trochanteric pain.
Chromosomes are made from DNA. Genes are short sections of DNA. Genetically identical cells are produced by a type of cell division called mitosis. In sexual reproduction, a male gamete fuses with a female gamete to produce a new cell. This is called fertilisation. Gametes are produced by a type of cell division called meiosis.
They code for proteins which express traits. Through meiosis, four cells are created with half the required number of chromosomes. This is so that when they join up with another reproductive cell, it adds up to the required amount. Because of this, half of your DNA is from your mother, and half is from your father. Since DNA has sections called genes, it essentially codes for proteins, which express various traits in your body. Some might be for black hair, or a broad chest, or long toes, but every gene codes for a protein, and every protein is either expresses or repressed, according to the specific gene.
