A-B binds specifically to neurons and blocks protein synthesis to kill the nerve cells. A'-B' binds specifically to intestinal e

pithelial cells and blocks Na2 uptake to cause diarrhea. What would injection of a hybrid toxin, A'-B, into an animal do to its muscle cells

Sati [7]4 years ago

Answer:

it will have no effects.

Explanation:

A'-B' will produce no effects because the receptor sites to which the hybrid A-B' is specific to is lacking in muscles cells, only present in epithelial cells .Therefore the hybrid  A-B' will not be able to bind and this will  not affect  influx of  sodium ions  for depolarization.

Generally, A-B toxins are protein complexes, produced by bacteria which are pathogenic to the host. The A-represent separate components, while the B represent another components.Thus the two-components proteins, interacts to produce negative effect in the host.The A -components represent the active form, while the B-components represent the binding site.

In this present scenario, the binding site  in the muscles cells specific  for the A-B'to bind to is missing, therefore the toxin produces no effects and no change in internal functions of the muscle cells.

The most common vectors for DNA cloning are bacterial plasmids. Some plasmids are used as 'expression vectors', i.e. the cloned
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The gene of interest from another source.

Explanation:

A plasmid is a small, circular double-stranded extrachromosomal DNA molecule within a cell particularly a bacteria cell that is physically separated from chromosomal DNA and can also replicate independently.

Expression vector is usually a plasmid (or a virus can also be utilized) constructed to allow for gene expression in cells. The vector is used to introduce a gene of interest into a target cell, and can drive the cell's mechanism for protein synthesis to produce the protein encoded by the gene, thus giving rise to the expression of the gene.

This gene of interest is integrated into the plasmid that is cut by endonucleases and then ligated using DNA ligase. Thus the expression differs from the normal plasmid in that it contains an external gene sequence.

Which organism is a secondary consumer (3rd trophic level)? a. larvae b. copepods c. killifish d. snapper
anygoal [31]

ANSWER:  B, killifish

REASONING: A secondary consumer consumes animals that eat only plants.  Larvae and copepods do not fit these descriptions, because they do not eat animals.  Snapper do eat animals, so do not fit the description either.  Killifish eat small animals that do eat plants.

Why do we find probability of deviation in biology ? And when can the null hypothesis be accepted
jasenka [17]

Answer: probability is used to predict the chance that an event is likely to occur at a particular chosen level of significance.

Null hypothesis is accepted in biology when the p value is less than 1%, statistically, when the value of p<0.01

Explanation:

Determing the significance level is decided by the researcher, often times, scientists commonly use the 0.05, 0.01, or 0.001 probability levels as cut-off values. For instance, in the example experiment, you used the 1% probability. Thus, P ≥ 0.01 can be interpreted to mean that chance likely caused the deviation between the observed and the expected values (i.e. there is a greater than 1% probability that chance explains the data).

If instead we had observed that P ≤ 0.01, this would mean that there is less than a 1% probability that our data can be explained by chance. There is a significant difference between our expected and observed results, so the deviation must be caused by something other than chance.

As each codon arrives at the active site of a ribosome, it attracts another molecule containing the anticodon. this molecule is
SashulF [63]
This molecule is called the transfer Ribonucleic acid (tRNA).
The trasnfer RNA is a type of RNA molecule that helps decode a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence into a protein. The tRNAs function at specific sites in the ribosome during translation, which is the process that synthesizes a protein from an mRNA molecule, that contains the codons.
