How does cellular information pass from one generation to the next? Include meiosis in your answer.

Biology

JulsSmile [24]2 years ago
6 0

Meiosis in reproductive organs (testes and ovary) produce gametes. Each human cell including reproductive cells contains 23 pair of chromosomes. Meiosis separates the two chromosomes from each pair thus, each gamete receives only one copy of each chromosome. Therefore, each gamete has 23 new chromosomes, one from each of the 23 pairs. During meiosis, exchange of chromosome segment between copies of a pair of chromosomes. The exchange of chromosome segments creates new combinations of genes which enhances genetic variability within a species.

Why choose that gene for PCR in the bacterial identification lab?
Reika [66]

Answer:

Background

During the course of a bacterial infection, the rapid identification of the causative agent(s) is necessary for the determination of effective treatment options. We have developed a method based on a modified broad-range PCR and an oligonucleotide microarray for the simultaneous detection and identification of 12 bacterial pathogens at the species level. The broad-range PCR primer mixture was designed using conserved regions of the bacterial topoisomerase genes gyrB and parE. The primer design allowed the use of a novel DNA amplification method, which produced labeled, single-stranded DNA suitable for microarray hybridization. The probes on the microarray were designed from the alignments of species- or genus-specific variable regions of the gyrB and parE genes flanked by the primers. We included mecA-specific primers and probes in the same assay to indicate the presence of methicillin resistance in the bacterial species. The feasibility of this assay in routine diagnostic testing was evaluated using 146 blood culture positive and 40 blood culture negative samples.

Explanation:

Results

Comparison of our results with those of a conventional culture-based method revealed a sensitivity of 96% (initial sensitivity of 82%) and specificity of 98%. Furthermore, only one cross-reaction was observed upon investigating 102 culture isolates from 70 untargeted bacteria. The total assay time was only three hours, including the time required for the DNA extraction, PCR and microarray steps in sequence.

Determine whether the statement is true or false, and why. “If a point mutation occurs in a tumor gene it can become activated.
solmaris [256]

Answer: A. False, it should read “If a point mutation occurs in a tumor suppressor gene it can become inactivated. This allows the rate of cell division to increase unregulated.”

Explanation: I already know this for a fact.
