A student complains that it makes no sense to worry about coliform bacteria in water, since we naturally possess harmless colifo

rms in our intestines anyway. Why do regulatory agencies worry about coliform bacteria in water supplies, then?

Answer:

Some types of coliform bacteria can cause death if ingested.

Explanation:

We have coliform bacteria as part of our bacterial flora. Most coliform bacteria are not harmful. However, there are some strains such as E. coli (Escherichia coli) that can cause serious diseases. Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome is one of them. Bacteria can be found in contaminated water, poorly washed vegetables and raw meats.

Lunar phases are basically the different positions of the moon that we see throughout its whole cycle, from new moon to full moon, back to new moon. Eclipses, though are more rare phenomena. These occur when the sun, moon, and earth line up at a specific position.

Asteroids are usually dense bodies, with many different formations on their surface. They are also believed to be the largest source of precious metals on our planet.

Comets are bright clouds of gas surrounding a center nucleus that speed toward the sun and heat up at the same time. They contain dust, ice, carbon dioxide, and other gases. As the comet soars toward the sun, the radiation pushes dust particles back, forming the tail they are known for.

In which ways can the individual steps of this process be regulated to lead to higher or lower expression of a particular protei
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

There are many points at which eukaryotic gene expression can be controlled, through pretranscriptional control, transcriptional control, and posttranscriptional control

Explanation:

The pretranscriptional control determines the accessibility of chromatin to the transcription machinery. It is affected by supercoiling and methylation. It is also known as epigenetic regulation, and it does not depend on the sequence but on the conformation of the DNA.

While transcriptional control determines the frequency and / or speed of transcription initiation through the accessibility of the start sites, the availability of transcription factors and the effectiveness of promoters.

The post-transcriptional control is the one that is exercised once the transcript has finished synthesizing. It can be of several types:

• Maturation control: As the RNA adjustment can be made.

• Transport control: Most RNA has to go out to the cytoplasm to perform its function. For this they have to cross the pores of the nuclear membrane, where you can select the RNAs that will be transported and those that will not.

• Stability control: The half-life of RNA can be regulated by the expression of RNAs or mRNA stabilizing proteins in the cytoplasm.

• Translational control: It is exercised on the frequency with which the mRNAs begin to be translated. It can also affect the frequency with which proteins mature and the availability of enzymatic effectors.
