) You treat some cells with a proteolytic enzyme that is too large to penetrate the cell membrane (Set 1). Another group of cell

s is made permeable before treatment with the enzyme (Set 2). A third set of cells was not treated with the enzyme at all (controls). Proteins are then extracted from the three different sets of cells and applied to an SDS-PAGE gel. Protein W migrates to the same distance on a gel of proteins from Set 1 and Set 2; Protein W migrates a shorter distance on gels of proteins extracted from the control group than on gels of proteins extracted from Set 1 and Set 2 treated cells. Protein X migrates to the same distance on a gel of proteins from control cells and the gels of the proteins from Set 1 and Set 2. Protein Y migrates a longer distance when extracted from Set 1 cells than does protein Y in the controls; Protein Y moves an even larger distance in the gel of the extracts from Set 2. Protein Z migrates the same distance on gels of proteins from the controls and the proteins extracted from Set 1, but it migrates a longer distance in extracts from Set 2 cells. Which protein is exposed only on the exterior of the cell?

Answer:

Proten W

Explanation:

SDS-PAGE gel is a method used for the separation of proteins in which proteins are separated based on their length (smaller proteins move faster through the gel, due to less resistance).

When treated with proteolytic enzymes, proteins are cut and become short fragment. This means that the fragments formed after the use of proteolytic enzymes, will move faster and thus, migrate a longer distance. Proteolytic enzymes in Set 2 cells will act only on plasma membrane proteins (because they cannot penetrate), while in Set 2 they will act on both, plasma membrane and interior proteins. Control group will have only the large fragments (not treated with enzyme).

Protein W travels the same distance on a gel of proteins from Set 1 and Set 2, but different than control group. It means that the proteolytic enzyme worked the same on Set 1 and Set 2.

How has the use of pcr improved modern dna forensic science?
mestny [16]
PCR (polymerase chain reaction) is a relatively new advance (1980's) but it has a great impact in our lives. Specifically, in forensic science, PCR is useful in many sorts of crimes . Up until the PCR method, in order to identify a person forensic scientists would use fingerprints or some other ambiguous methods like teeth marks etc. But now, with PCR, we can compare the genetic material found on a crime scene and compare it with a suspect's genetic material, definitively concluding whether they are the same person or not. The way this works is that we collect a sample from the crime scene with DNA and then PCR amplifies the quantity of DNA in that sample. One of the apparent advantages of this method is that PCR works with even a very small sample, often not even a single cell is required. This makes crime scenes full of information. Hence, succinctly, PCR has helped modern forensic science in that:
1) its results are more definitve than traditional identification methods and subject to less ambiguity
2) it is relatively fast
3) new pieces of evidence can be of value (like some hair cells) and identify the crominal in cases that in older times would be impossible to solve.

The caretaker of a farm feeds hay to the cows to procure milk from them. How much energy will the cows get from the hay?
nikitadnepr [17]

<u>Answer</u>: C) 10%.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The cow will get only 10% energy from the hay as the transfer of energy from a lower to a higher trophic level follows the ten percent law.
  • According to the ten percent law of energy transfer, only 10 percent of the total energy gets transferred to the next trophic level in a food chain.
  • For example, if the hay had 100 joules of energy, the cow will get only 10% of 100 J i.e 10 J energy.
  • The reason why only ten percent energy is transferred is because the rest is lost in the form of heat in the atmosphere.

Plants and animals that lack color are commonly called albinos. In corn plants, green (G) is dominant to albino (g). A student
Fittoniya [83]

(B) 25% GG, 50% Gg, and 25% gg

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Green is dominant and is coded by G

Albino is recessive and is coded by g

Two corn plants that are heterozygous for color are crossed.

The heterozygous condition of the plant would be Gg.

The cross is shown in the table attached.

According to the punnett square drawn,

The genotypic ratio is 1 : 2 : 1 (GG : Gg : gg)

                                 = 25% GG , 50% Gg , 25% gg

Phenotypic ratio = 3 : 1 ( green : albino)

                           = 75% green, 25% albino
