Answer:
The correct answer is - Yes, the genetic engineer should create a genomic library or a cDNA library.
Explanation:
mRNA isolated from the toxin extracted from the venom gland of the scorpion to create a cDNA library. The cDNA sequence is reverse transcribed by the mRNA that lacks the introns as prokaryotic organisms such as bacteria cannot splice introns.
If the engineer wants to express the toxin in bacteria then he required a cDNA sequence as a genomic clone can not use to clone for making proteins. mRNA should be isolated from the venom gland so it can synthesize cDNA library enriched with toxin protein sequence.
The answer would be:
Passive transport
Active transport
Why?
There are two ways molecules can move across membranes within the cell. What makes the two different is the use of energy.
PASSIVE transport is the movement of molecules DOWN the concentration gradient. The molecules move from areas of higher concentration to lower concentration. This does nor require energy. Comparing it to the scenario, the child starts from a higher area and ends at a lower area. Going down a slide does not take energy. The child simply goes down it.
When you talk about the child going UP a slide, think ACTIVE transport. Unlike passive transport, active transport requires energy, because the molecules move AGAINST the concentration gradient. The movement of molecules in this type of transport is the opposite, it goes from lower areas of concentration to higher areas of concentration.
Hopefully, this has been educational for you and was able to help you understand the difference between the two.
Answer:
(a) 1/2; (b) no
Explanation:
Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD) is an X-linked recessive disorder and the woman's father was diseased so it means that woman is a carrier of the allele but has normal phenotype. It means that she will have XXᵇ genotype.
In contrast to this, her husband is diseased so his genotype will be XᵇY.
The Punnett square diagram related to the cross is attached.
(a) Proportion of their sons expected to be G6PD is 1/2:
They both may give birth to 4 progeny with genotypes XXᵇ, XᵇXᵇ, XY and XᵇY. It means they both may have 2 sons out of which one with genotype XᵇY will be diseased while the one with genotype XY will be healthy. So the proportion of their sons having G6PD is 1/2 or 50%.
(b) If the husband were G6PD deficient, the answer will not change.
The reason behind this is that this disease is caused by an allele located in X chromosome. But father contributes only Y chromosome to his son not X chromosome. The X chromosome will affect the genotype of his daughter not son that is why answer will not change. It means they will still have 1/2 of their sons diseased.
We need options :) but stem cells are a amazing type of cells that are able to develop into many different types of cells <span>First, they are unspecialized cells capable of renewing themselves through </span>cell division<span>, sometimes after long periods of inactivity. Second, under certain physiologic or experimental conditions, they can be induced to become tissue- or organ-specific cells with special functions. In some organs, such as the gut and bone marrow, stem cells regularly divide to repair and replace worn out or damaged tissues. In other organs, however, such as the pancreas and the heart, stem cells only divide under special conditions.</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is option E (testosterone).
Explanation:
The interstitial cells or Leydig cells are the individual or group of cells present in loose connective tissues surrounding the seminiferous tubules.
They are usually active in the production of dominant sex hormones in males that is testosterone responsible for male secondary sexual characteristics.They produce hormones in the presence of luteinizing hormone (LH) and growth hormone released by the pituitary gland.
The high cholesterol content and crystals of Reinke make the leydig cells appear pale in color.
Thus, option E- testosterone is the correct answer.
