I named this gene claret (symbol: ca). The X-linked […]

Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word paper that includes the following: Summarize the biology of B lymphocytes from origin to surface molecules.

1. Much pharmaceutical research targets developing anti-cancer drugs that can effectively stimulate the methylation of DNA. Formulate a possible hypothesis to explain why DNA methylation might be an effective anticancer drug. 2. Both the human and the thale cress (a small plant) genomes contain about 25,000 genes. However, human beings […]

Sickle-cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the ß-globin gene. Heterozygotes for the Hbs disease allele have some protection from malaria relative to wild-type, but Hbs homozygotes rarely live to produce offspring. 50 individuals homozygous for the normal (non-disease) allele produced a total of 47 children. 50 heterozygous individuals […]
