Answer:
a) price of an exercise book = #200
b) #400
Explanation:
Let x represent the price of the book
Let y represent the price of the exercise book
- According to this question, the price of the book is thrice that of an exercise book i.e. x = 3y
- Also, the question states that if a student spend #9600 on book and #8000 on exercise book, he has 56 items altogether. This means that to get how many books and exercise books he bought, we divide the price of book and exercise book he bought by the price of each book (x) and exercise book (y) respectively. Mathematically, this means:
- Student bought 9600/x books
- Student bought 8000/y exercise books
So, 9600/x books + 8000/y exercise books = 56 item
9600/x + 8000/y = 56
Since x = 3y
We can say;
9600/3y + 8000/y = 56
Find the L.C.M of 3y and y = 3y and solve using fraction method (see attachment).
9600 + 24000/3y = 56
33600/3y = 56
Cross multiply
33600 = 56 × 3y
33600 = 168y
Divide both sides by 168
33600/168 = 168y/168
200 = y
y = 200
Since, x = 3y
x = 3 × 200
x = 600
Therefore, the price of book (x) and exercise book (y) are #600 and #200 respectively.
b) The difference between the price of a book and an exercise book i.e. x - y
= #600 - #200
= #400
Answer:
- Bacteria cannot remove intronic sequence from a gene, so if the gene for factor VIII were transcribed, it would translate to a nonfunctional protein.
- The bacteria will not recognize the eukaryotic promoter to transcribe the gene.
Genome engineering steps:
I. Isolate by PCR the mature mRNA of the target factor VIII gene
II. Synthesize a complementary DNA (cDNA) for this mRNA by using a reverse transcriptase enzyme
III. Insertion of the cDNA into a plasmid vector
IV. Expression of the protein in the host bacterial cell through transformation
Explanation:
Bacteria lack the spliceosome (ie., the eukaryotic machinery required to remove introns from the primary mRNA), because bacterial genes do not have introns. Moreover, eukaryotic organisms require several proteins that bind to the promoter sequence and subsequently recruit the RNA polymerase to initiate this process. In bacteria, transcription is controlled by proteins that bind to cis-acting sequences which regulate the transcription of adjacent genes. In contrast to bacteria, eukaryotic genes have many classes of promoter and enhancer elements.
Genome engineering technologies can be used to produce bacteria expressing human proteins derived from synthetically introduced human genes (see steps above). For example, recombinant bacteria expressing the human insulin gene have already been designed by using E. coli as cell factories.
They both breathe air, and some insects are the birds prey.
