Genes may be structural genes that encode polypeptides, or they may be nonstructural genes. A eukaryotic structural gene contains two introns and three exons: exon 1-intron 1-exon 2-intron 2-exon 3. The 5? splice site at the boundary between exon 2 and intron 2 has been eliminated by a small deletion […]

You run a set of reactions to determine the reaction rate as a function of substrate concentration and notice that the rate decreases as your substrate concentration increases. You suspect that either the substrate or the product is inhibiting the reaction. Describe the experiments you would conduct to determine which compound is inhibitory. […]

Question: A certain allele of the ApoE gene in humans has been linked to an increase in susceptibility to Alzheimer’s disease, which causes dementia. Assuming there is no human interference, would you expect the frequency of this allele in the population to change over time? If so, would the frequency increase […]
