Transposons all have the capacity to move from a donor DNA to a target DNA, with the target DNA being chosen essentially at random and independent of DNA sequence. However, a newly inserted transposon is always flanked by short direct repeats of the targeted sequence for transposon insertion. Describe the […]

Acquired immunity involves both a humoral immune response and a cell-mediated immune response. Some components of the immune system are involved in only the humoral response, some are involved in only the cell-mediated response, and some are involved in both responses. Sort the following items depending on if they are […]

1) The irreversible steps in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis are points for coordinated regulation of flux through these pathways. Which of the isozymes, hexokinase II or hexokinase IV, reaches halfVmax at lower substrate concentrations and how doesthis make sense physiologically? 2) a- What is reciprocal regulation? Describe how this mechanism works […]
