A student plans to analyze a protein sample that he suspects to be made of 4 subunits that are non-identical but similar in mole

cular weights. In his lab he has access to only SDS-PAGE and Agarose Gel Electrophoresis. What best describes the scientific method he should use to analyze the protein?

Answer:

Agarose gel electrophoresis is the most suitable method for this analysis.

Explanation:

SDS-PAGE, sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, is a procedure used for visualizing and separating proteins according to their molecular weight. The use of sodium dodecyl sulfate and polyacrylamide gel eliminates most of the influence of the tertiary structure and charge, and proteins are separated solely based on polypeptide chain length. So, if the student suspects that the protein sample is conformed of 4 subunits similar in molecular weight, SDS PAGE will likely not separate them.

On the other hand, an agarose gel electrophoresis can separate proteins based on their size AND charge, so, if you suspect that the proteins are not identical but similar in size, the charge factor can be important to separate them in an experiment.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

(the gene for the disease has incomplete penetrance. the gene for the disease has limited expressivity. the disease is polygenic) - all these are examples of non-mendelian inheritance which include incomplete penetrance, polygenic inheritance etc. These do not follow the mendelian pattern of inheritance.

(the gene for the disease is recessive.)- this shows the mendelian pattern of inheritance... Dominant and recessive characteristics are examples that show Mendelian inheritance.

Which group serves as the control​ group? A. Group 2 serves as the control group because this group corresponds to the standard
Reil [10]

Answer:

First, let's add the missing piece of information

A school psychologist wants to test the effectiveness of a new method of teaching FrenchFrench. She recruits 100100 firstfirst​-grade students and randomly divides them into two groups. Group 1 is taught by means of the new​ method, while group 2 is taught by traditional methods. The same teacher is assigned to teach both groups. At the end of the​ year, an achievement test​ (graded on a scale from​ 1-10) is administered and the results of the two groups are compared.

The CORRECT ANSWER IS A.

A. Group 2 serves as the control group because this group corresponds to the standard method that will be compared to the other method.

Explanation:

A control group

The control group acts as a baseline treatment that is employed in contrasting it to the other form(s) of treatments.

Ex: In this case study, a school psychologist wants to test the effectiveness of a new method of teaching French, to see if the ones taught by using a new method (are placed in group 1) do better in learning French than those taught with the traditional method (are placed in group 2). The students being taught French with the traditional method (group 2) would serve as the control group (as this is the present, proven and acceptable practice of teaching French. The factor is the method of teaching French. There are two treatments: new method and traditional method.

Therefore, the option A. is THE CORRECT ANSWER

A. Group 2 serves as the control group because this group corresponds to the standard method that will be compared to the other method.

What type of epithelium is the "respiratory epithelium"? (Hint: this is NOT the same thing as the "respiratory membrane". The re
Leona [35]

Answer:

The respiratory epithelium is a type of ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium.

Explanation:

The epithelium (a type of tissue) lines the blood vessels and inner-outer surfaces of organs. Their function includes protection, secretion, absorption, transport, etc. Based on the shape, they are classified as squamous, columnar, and cuboidal. Also, they can be simple epithelium (a single layer of cells) or stratified (layers of two or more cells).

Respiratory epithelium (airway epithelium) is a type of ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium. It is the epithelium that is found in the respiratory mucosa and lines most of the respiratory tract. It protects and moist the airways. It prevents infection by the self-cleaning mechanism of the airways (mucociliary clearance) and thus acts as a barrier to pathogens and foreign particles. It also secretes mucus and prevents tissue injury. The respiratory epithelium contains four types of cells-ciliated, goblet, club and airway basal cells. The arrangement of these multiple cell types as a single layer results in the non- alignment of their nuclei in the same plane. So the epithelium appears as layered or stratified. Hence the name pseudostratified or falsely layered.
