Daily Question # 85

Answers  and  scores  for  The  Monthly  Set  have  been  published .  Find  them  here .

X  shows  a  medical  condition  which  takes  its  technical  name  from  its  resemblance  with  A . Effects  of  something  named  after  B  has  been  postulated  as  the  reason  for  the  origin  of  the  myth  surrounding  A .

Solve  for  X , A  and  B .

X

X

A

A

B

B

 

Janiceps ( X )  takes  its  name  after  the  Roman  god  Janus ( A ) . The  Janus  myth  is  postulated  to  be  a  result  of  the  condition  Diprosopus  which  is  caused  by  anomalies  in  the  Sonic  Hedgehog ( B ) homolog .

New  Year , so  i  guess  one  should  be  liberal  and  award  full  points  to  all  who  were  almost  there .

Cracked  by  Deepu , Jithin , Deepthi  Mani , Sreeram , Johny  Walker , Jyothi , Sana , Hrishikesh  Varma , Anil  Raghavan , Nishanth  Raman  and  Dr  Naveen .

  1. Deepu says:

    X-Conjoined Twins
    A-Janus Condition
    B-Sonic HedgeHog Protein

  2. jithin says:

    X : Conjoined twins (janiceps)
    A : Janus

  3. Deepthi Mani says:

    A: conjoined twins with head/thoracic fusion
    Janiceps would be 2 faces on opposite sides of a conjoined head
    B:Janus
    C:Sonic hedgehog

  4. Sreeram says:

    A and B look like Janus and Sonic the hedgehog

  5. Johny Walker says:

    X = Diprosopus
    A = Janus
    B = Sonic Hedgehog

  6. jo says:

    x- janiceps

    a-janus the god of doors after hum the month january is named

    b-sonic the hedge hog

    funda–diprosopus is a congenital disorder in which part or all of the face is duplicated on the head.

    One of a class of genes involved in drosophila development, called hedgehog genes, has been named “sonic hedgehog” after the character. also the janus kinase pathway (JAK) IS NOW ALSO called sonic hedgehog pathway.

  7. Sana says:

    Diprosopus – craniofacial duplication

    It is the result of a protein called sonic hedgehog homolog.

    A – Janus – Roman God of Gates

  8. Varma says:

    conjoined twins a.k.a Janus Twins, Janus, Sonic the Hedgehog(the thing causing the condition)

  9. anil raghavan says:

    x)diprosopus
    a)janus
    b)sonic hedgehog

  10. Nishanth Raman says:

    X – Diprosopus

    A – Janus

    B – Sonic hedgehog homolog from Sonic The Hedgehog

  11. Dr.Naveen says:

    X = Diprosopus ,A = Janus, B = Sonic the Hedgehog

  12. Dreamz says:

    B) Janus

  13. Dreamz says:

    Quoting Jyothi

    “x- janiceps
