Disruption of axonal transport would be a good target for his drug.

<h3>What is disruption of axonal transport?</h3>
  • Axonal transport defects are among the early molecular events leading to neurodegeneration in mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
  • Gene expression profiles indicate that dynactin-1 mRNA is downregulated in degenerating spinal motor neurons of autopsied patients with sporadic ALS.
  • Disruption of axonal transport also underlies the pathogenesis of spinal muscular atrophy and hereditary spastic paraplegias.
  • The neurotoxin β,β′-iminodipropionitrile (IDPN) selectively disrupts slow axonal transport without affecting fast anterograde or retrograde axonal transport.
  • Impairment of slow axonal transport causes a proximal accumulation of neurofilaments.
  • Because neurofilaments regulate axonal diameter, this accumulation leads to a marked swelling of the axon.
  • Acrylamide causes decreased axonal transport, also causing proximal accumulations of neurofilaments and swelling.

I need help with my biology homework I need to answer this question a student is given a tube containing a liquid nutrient mediu
kifflom [539]
This is the day to day problem of a medical microbiology laboratory: the "tube containing a liquid nutrient medium" in the real world could, for example, represent blood culture bottles (aerobic or anaerobic). The basic process is as follows: a loop is first flamed to ensure sterility and then used to transfer a small portion of bacterial-laden liquid media to the agar medium by streaking it across the surface of a sterile petri dish. The dish is then covered, inverted, and placed in an appropriate incubator. When colonies begin to form on the surface of the agar plate, individual colonies can be taken up using the sterile loop for analysis or further propagation. The assumption is that a single colony represents growth from a single bacterium.

If you created a replicate of the two dna molecules and create identical how woulf you go doing this
Mkey [24]
The DNA replication is a semi conservative in nature ! as the replicate has on parent and one daughter DNA ! so having two identical DNA , you have to take the DNA and change it into RNA having one strand and other RNA having opposite coding !

by this way, you can create a identical copy of DNA !

if you need any more info, comment !
