Question: CTP differs from UTP by a single nitrogen atom in place of oxygen on the pyrimidine ring. What serves as the source of the nitrogen atom in the reaction catalyzed by CTP Synthetase? Question: Why isn’t Ribose phosphate pyrophosphokinase (i.e. the enzyme for the synthesis of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate) considered the committed […]

1. In jimsonweed, purple flower (P) is dominant to white (p) and spiny pods (S) are dominant to smooth (s). A true breeding plant with white flowers and spiny pods is crossed to a true-breeding plant with purple flowers and smooth pods. Assuming that the genes responsible for these traits […]

Explain the etiology and genetics of disease phenylketonuria (PKU) Phenylketonuria (PKU) refers to a disease found within humans in which the affected individual does not have enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase. This enzyme is required in order to metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine to tyrosine. When left untreated phenylalanine will be transformed […]

Reaction set up- BCR/ABLtranscripts You will assemble a ‘master mix’ with sufficient volume to perform 2 x 20?L (repeat) reactions for each transcript level quantification. Remember to change pipette tips after pipetting each solution (to avoid cross-reagent contamination). • Pipette 16.8 ?L of the BCR/ABL primer mix into a 1.5mL […]
