Answer:
d. all endothelial cells would be venous
Explanation:
The Notch signaling pathway is a cell signaling system which consist basically of 4 NOTCH genes ( NOTCH1, NOTCH2, NOTCH3, and NOTCH4) each of them having the information to build a particular cell membrane receptor protein.
It has been demonstrated in zebrafish embryos that Notch signaling are highly determinant factors during vascular development, and a key function of these genes was specifically to regulate the differentiation of arterial fate in endothelial cells.
Notch signaling-deficient embryos showed a loss of expression of arterial markers such as ephrinB2 from arterial vessels with an accompanying expansion of venous markers into normally arterial domains. In contrast, embryos in which Notch signaling had been ectopically activated, meaning an activation out of "proper" place (where not expected, e.g. venous endothelial), exhibited the contrary phenotype, this is a suppression of vein-specific markers with ectopic expression of arterial markers in venous vessels.
To summarize, when Notch is supressed (in this case inhibited with a specific Notch inhibitor) arterial fate of endothelium is not followed, and venous fate is stablished. Thus, endothelial cells (those expected to form venous tissues but also arterial ones) would specified as venous.
Protect yourself by following these steps: Treat all blood and body fluid spills as if they were infectious. When providing first aid or CPR, protect yourself first, then treat the victim second. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment: gloves, goggles, etc. as required by the accident.
Answer:
Part A: Thr-Leu-Val
Part B: ACC-UUG-GUU
Explanation:
When you transcribe a DNA sequence to mRNA, you need to remember that in RNA there is no Thymine (T), instead it has Uracil (U). So the base pairings would be like this compared to DNA base pairing:
DNA RNA
A-T A-U
T-A T-A
C-G G-C
G-C C-G
Given the sequence the transcription will be as follows:
DNA : TGG - AAC - CAA
mRNA: ACC - UUG - GUU
Next, to translate it into amino acids, you will use the chart. Now amino acids pair in codons (3 base pairs at a time). Let's take the first codon in your sequence:
ACC
1st 2nd 3rd
A C C
Using the column on the left, find the row that matches it, so in this case A.
At the very top, there is another row of letters, looking at the row of A only, look for the column of the second base which is C.
Lastly, look at the right most column and find the letter that matches the third base within the box where A and C intersect. In this case, C is your third base.
The amino acid where all three intersect is your first amino acid which is Thr.
Just do this for the next codons and you will come up with the answer.
Providing long-term control over the body's internal conditions
Keeping conditions within a normal range
Adjusting the "set point" for body temperature based upon level of activity
