Oct4 is an embryonic stem cell specific transcription factor. ESCs grown in petri dishes are fed media that contain basic fibrob

last growth factor (bFGF) which keeps the ESCs undifferentiated. They examine Oct4 mRNA levels in human ESCs (hESCs), hESCs with exogenous miR-223 (micro RNA 223), hESCs with exogenous miR-223 that do not have bFGF in the media, and hESCs without bFGF but with miR-223 inhibitor. Based on this data, what is the relationship between miR-223 and ESC differentiation?

Answer:

miR-223 inhibits the expression of the fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene, and thereby ESCs cells maintain their undifferentiated state .

Explanation:

Non-coding RNA (ncRNAs) are molecules that regulate gene expression, thereby playing important biological functions in cell differentiation, cell cycle, apoptosis, etc. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a type of ncRNAs capable of controlling gene expression patterns by regulating mRNA stability and by suppressing their translation into proteins. It has been shown that miRNAs function by imperfectly base-pairing with the 3′ UTR of target mRNAs (Pillai et al. 2005).

A daughter has hemophilia a recessive sex-linked what are the possible genotypes of her parents
marishachu [46]

Answer:

If a female child has hemophilia it is possible that the mother is a carrier of the hemophilia gene and the father has hemophilia.

Explanation:

  • A daughter gets X chromosome from both her parents.
  • It is generally seen in males.
  • Hemophilia is generally recessive in females.They act as carriers of hemophilia. This occurs because they have a X chromosome that dominates the hemophilia affected gene that they inherit from any parent.
  • But, if both the parents have faulty genes ,i.e the mother is the carrier of the gene and the father is hemophiliac, then the chances are the daughter has hemophilia too.

Why is it argued that speech is only possible in modern homo sapiens and not in homo erectus or homo neanderthalensis? the brain
Oxana [17]

Answer: homo sapiens is the only species with a large enough oral cavity and a low enough larynx to allow for speech production. 

<span>One line of evidence that speech only possible for modern homo sapiens is the anatomy of their throat. Speech depends on certain anatomical arrangements and the Homo sapiens is the only species with a large enough oral cavity and a low enough larynx that would allow speech.</span>
