Q1. The ATP/ADP ratio in the actively respiring yeast cell is about 10. What must the intracellular 3-phosphoglycerate/1, 3-diphosphoglycerate ratio be to make the phosphoglycerate kinase reaction thermodynamically favourable in the direction of 1, 3-diphosphoglycerate synthesis? Q2. There is another digestive enzyme other than salivary amylast that is secreted by […]

Does the company producing ATryn in goats need to include a promoter in the vector they use to insert the transgene into goat cells? If yes, explain why and what type of promoter they would use. If no, explain why this isn’t necessary in this specific case. Is this not […]

Q1. The genes for mahogany eyes and ebony body are approximately 30 map units apart on chromosome III in Drosophila. The inheritance pattern for both mahogany eyes and ebony body phenotypes is recessive. Assume that a mahogany-eyed female was mated to an ebony-bodied male and that the resulting F1 phenotypically […]

Genetic variation is an important factor of sexual reproduction. One factor involved within sexual reproduction is independent assortment of chromosomes. This process along with random fertilization ensures that you are 1 possible diploid combination out of 64 trillion possible diploid combinations(assume no crossing over). If a mutation allowed a man […]
