Scientists studying transcription in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) created an experimental strain that produced a modified RN

A polymerase containing a single amino acid substitution. The scientists determined the maximum elongation rate during transcription with and without the modified RNA polymerase enzyme (Figure 1 ).
The compound amanitin, which is commonly found in toxic mushrooms, is a specific RNA polymerase inhibitor. Amanitin binds to the RNA polymerase active site and inhibits transcription. In a second experiment, the scientists treated the wild-type and experimental strains of S. cerevisiae with a 40 μg/mL solution of amanitin and recorded the maximum elongation rate of the mRNA (Figure 2 ). Error bars represent ±2SEx¯ .


Identify the dependent variable in the experiments. Identify a control group missing from the second experiment. Justify the need for this control group in the second experiment.

Answer:

elongation rate of strain of S.cerevisiae during transcription.

wild-type and experimental strain not treated with soultion of amanitin will be the control group. The elongation rate of mRNA of this group must be observed.

Explanation:

Dependent variable is one whose value depends on another value. Here effect of presence of mRNA polymerase enzyme and inhibtor on elnogatino rate of mRNA is being observed. So elongation rate is the dependent variable

Control group is one where independent variable whose effect is being observed can't influence the results. In experiment 2, the effect of inhibitor is being observed. So the control group must not have that inhibitor. Other conditions must remain same for experimentan and control group.

How might an athlete use vital lung capacity compared to a non athlete
kramer
An athlete would have a larger vital capacity than a non-athlete aerobic ability would find people with larger lungs and hence a bigger vital capacity. The vital capacity of an athlete is higher than a non-athlete because they are trying to do hard work their legs to get bigger and bigger over time making it easier for them

A healthy way to gain weight would be to simply add more calories to your diet. Group of answer choices
marissa [1.9K]

<u>Answer</u>:

A healthy way to gain weight would be to simply add more calories to your diet is a <u>TRUE</u> statement.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The number of "calories" that an individual consumes and burns daily plays an important role in determining his/her weight. A person who consumes more calories than he burns daily could become overweight whereas if a person is consuming fewer calories than what he burns could cause him to lose weight.

The best way to gain weight is to "add more calories" to one's diet while also keeping in mind the number of calories being burnt daily. The newly added calories should sum up greater than the total calories burnt regularly.

Hence, the statement about adding calories in the diet to gain weight is true.

How can we test for HIV during the initial acute phase?
chubhunter [2.5K]
Acute HIV infection is the first phase of  HIV infection. The early HIV test can detect HIV during the acute HIV phase. The best test for detecting HIV infection is the early HIV test (also known as NAAT/RNA testing)
