In order to add the gene for human insulin to a bacterial plasmid, the DNA molecules have to be "cut" with enzymes called restri

ction endonucleases and then pasted back together with enzymes called DNA ligases. Imagine that during this process, the first five nucleotides of the human insulin gene were accidentally cut out before it was pasted into the bacterial plasmid. What is the most likely outcome if this plasmid was added to bacterial cells?

Answer:

Human insulin protein will not be produced

Explanation:

For production of human insulin protein in bacteria, first the insulin gene needs to be transcribed to corresponding mRNA. This mRNA will be then translated to produce insulin protein. The initial portion of any gene has a promoter sequence. During transcription RNA Polymerase recognizes this promoter sequence to initiate the process.

Here, the gene's first five nucleotides were accidentally cut out so now the promoter sequence has been altered. RNA Polymerase will not be able to recognise it so transcription will not occur. No mRNA will be formed and as a result translation will also not occur and there will be no production of insulin protein.

Given Proposition: The Shark Population has increased. This is assuming that we only base it off of the given food tree, rather than using the food web, which is more factually correct. This means that the sharks in the area can only eat sea otters, and that sea star populations and sea otters can only eat clams.

1) In this case, the shark population increases. This generally means that the sea otter population by itself has increased, suggesting a positive net change within the given food chain. However, with increased shark populations, would mean a damage to the amount of sea otters in the area. This can create an underpopulation of sea otters, which, if sea stars were not a factor, can mean a increase of clam population.

However.

2) Sea stars are a part of the food chain given. Therefore, it can be suggested that while the sea otter population may stabilize and/or diminish, the sea star has no "predator". This means that with the decrease of the sea otter population, the sea star population may actually grow, as the competition for the same source diminishes. Again, with the demand taking over the need, the sea star population may fall once again due to overfeeding, and essentially starvation.

In essence:

Shark Population: Increased

Sea Otter Population: Decreases (is eaten)

Therefore, Clam Population is speculated to increase.

However, the Sea star population would thereby increase due to having more food.

A larger sea star population in which the clam population cannot sustain would collapse, leading to a fall.

Also, due to the smaller amounts of sea otters in the area, the shark population may also see to an decrease of population, as they die from starvation.

The sea otter population would then stabilize when the predatory amounts or less, and their competition collapses.

Of course, there will always be a "food web". Sea otters do not solely rely on clams, neither do sharks solely rely on otters.

Answer:

During the course of a continuous isometric contraction of given strength, the electrical activity progressively increases. This is due to recruitment of motor units taking place to compensate the decrease in force of contraction occurring in the fatigued muscle fibres.
