The forward and reverse PCR primers used for the amplification of a VNTR locus on chromosome number 4 are 20 bases and 21 bases

long, respectively. The 3’ base of the forward primer is 53 bases away from the first repeat. The 3’ base of the reverse primer is 28 bases away from the first repeat in that direction. Each repeat unit is 60 bases in length. A person has, on one of their number 4 chromosomes, 6 repeats. How long (in bp) should its PCR product be?

The repeats which occur together on a chromosome are referred to as VNTR. The length of each repeat is 60bp.

The first primer is 20bp and is 53 bp away from 1st repeat. Therefore, the total length of sequence amplified by the first primer till 1st repeat = 20+53 = 73bp. Beyond this point 6 repeats on 60 bp are present, hence, the length becomes = 73 + (60X6) = 433bp.

Now the reverse primer which is 21bp in length is located 28bp from the repeat on its side. Reverse primer comes from the opposite direction, so it must be present after the 6 repeats.

The total length of the amplified region = 433 + 28 + 21 = 482 bp.

On ten acres of native forest there are eight white-tailed deer, seven coyotes, 45 armadillos, and 231 loblolly pine trees. Whic
Natasha2012 [34]

loblolly pine trees

Explanation:

Population density refers to the amount of organisms living in a particular area:

            Population density = \frac{number of organisms}{Area}

Area of the forest = 10acres

Population densities of:

  White-tailed deer = \frac{8 white tailed deer}{10acres}

                                 = 0.8white tailed deer/acres

   Coyotes = \frac{7 coyotes}{10acres}= 0.7coyotes/acres

   Armadillos = \frac{45 armadillos}{10acres} = 4.5armadillos/acres

   loblolly pine = \frac{231loblolly pine trees}{10acres} = 23.1loblolly pine trees/acre

The population with the highest density is that of the loblolly pine trees with 23.1 of the trees in an acre.

A patient has an inherited defect in the liver enzyme fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase and this results in an abnormally high levels
DedPeter [7]

If the live enzyme fructose 1,6- bisphosphatase defect is occured and this results in an abnormally high levels of lactate in the blood plasme this will result into the lactate will accumulate into the blood.

What is the work of fructose 1,6-biphosphatase enzyme?

In the liver, gluconeogenesis converts lactate to glucose. If FBPase-1 is defective, lactate cannot enter the gluconeogenic pathway in hepatocytes, building up in the blood.

A crucial enzyme in gluconeogenesis is fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase). It is a possible target for drugs used to treat type II diabetes. Additionally, the protein is linked to a rare genetic metabolic disorder, and certain cancer cells lack the activity of the enzyme FBPase, which encourages glycolysis and aids in the Warburg effect.
