The mediam molecular weight of eukaryotic proteins is about 40,000 daltons. A few proteins are much larger, such as a muscle cell protein called titin, which has a molecular weight of 3,000,000 daltons. A) Estimate how long it will take a muscle cell to translate an mRNA coding for a […]

Consider a mainland-island migration scenario where two alleles are segregating and the observed frequencies of heterozygotes are such that H=.32 for the mainland and H=.5 for the island. (These are the values of heterozygosity) What are Pisland and Pmainland? Assume Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Equation given was Pisland = Pmainland + ( […]

Question: To see patterns in the data from an experiment like this, it is helpful to graph the data. A bar graph is used instead of a line graph because each type of liver cell was independent of the others. But first, you must determine which variable should go on each […]

a) Genetically modified organisms (GMOs). What is the purpose genetic engineering of crop plants and domestic animals? Briefly explain how GMOs are created. What foods in your supermarket contain GMOs? Are foods that contain GMOs safe for human consumption? What types of regulations exist for these foods? Clearly explain your […]
