The question is; would a drug that binds irreversibly to these receptors be an effective contraceptive in mammals?, the answer is;Yes; because if the receptors are blocked the sperms will not be able to penetrate the zonal pellucida of the egg. Contraceptives prevents pregnancy by interfering with the normal process of ovulation, fertilization, and implantation.
Most fungi are multicellular organisms. They display two distinct morphological stages: the vegetative and reproductive. The vegetative stage consists of a tangle of slender thread-like structures called hyphae (singular, hypha), whereas the reproductive stage can be more conspicuous. The mass of hyphae is a mycelium
Answer:
You can use the quantitative Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction PCR (RT-qPCR) method in order to analyze the Oct4 mRNA level.
Explanation:
RT-PCR is the gold standard technique to analyze the expression levels of one particular messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule. In this technique, the total RNA is firstly extracted and transcribed into complementary DNA (cDNA). Subsequently, the gene sequence of interest is then amplified in a standard PCR technique that uses as control one or more genes in order to measure the relative expression levels of the target mRNA, in this case, for example, the Oct4 mRNA.
