Simple (Passive) Diffusion Describe the direction of transport relative to theconcentration gradient: Molecules move down a concentration gradient. They movefrom region of higher concentration to one of lower concentrationbecause of random thermal agitation. Describe where the energy for transport comes from: No metabolic energy input is required. Describe IF and […]

Why does it make sense that life started so small? Why does it make sense that it started in water? What does it mean to be an “multicellular organism”? The cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum exists initially as a collection of separate cells moving over the forest floor. In times […]

Engineering a recombinant plasmid DNA(like GST- preferably use other than GST)to over-express the protein encoded by the MsrB gene from Drosophila, by cloning it into the pGEX vector. the purpose of this assignment is to allow to design our own similar approach for overexpression of a recombinant protein of our […]

Inheritance and Genetic Engineering” Please respond to the following: In 1918, an influenza pandemic that originated with avian flu killed 50 million people. Researchers isolated samples of that virus from bodies of infected people preserved in Alaskan permafrost since 1918. From the samples, they sequenced the viral genome, and then […]
