Refer to the assigned article “In a Bean, a Boon to Biotech” (Pictures of article are underneath). 1A. (200 words or less) The article states “Both Monsanto’s Vistive Gold soybeans and DuPont Pioneer’s Plenish soybeans are engineered to silence the gene for an enzyme that converts oleic fatty acid into linoleic acid.” These products were developed 10 years ago. Describe in conceptual detail : 1) how the gene silenced soybean was likely produced (100 words). 2) how the gene silenced...
Describe in conceptual detail how you would develop a nucleic acid agent that could be used to treat rotavirus infection in humans, and how it would work
Describe in conceptual detail how you could use genetic engineering to develop the vaccine BRV-PV. Note that rotavirus has a linear dsRNA genome with 11 segments coding for 12 proteins. Assume that you already have all of the necessary rotavirus genes cloned for use as starting materials.
An enzyme, encoded by gene A, converts substrate X into product Y. Individuals with a dominant mutation in gene A over accumulate substrate X, which causes severe neurological symptoms. At the molecular level, this enzyme functions as a homodimer. A homodimer is a protein composed of two subunits that are encoded by the same gene. Let’s suppose you are able to purify subunits from cell samples and then mix them together under conditions in which they form homodimers, and you...
Amylase is the primary enzyme used in the digestion of __________. Carbohydrates Fats Proteins Lipids All of the following are good recommendations for weight loss, EXCEPT: Consume more low-calorie, high-fiber fruits and veggies instead of processed snacks Increase energy expenditure via physical activity Snack frequently and eat small amounts at mealtime Follow a regimented diet until the excess weight is lost Whole grains are more beneficial than enriched grains because they contain all of the following EXCEPT: Fiber Naturally occurring...
Describe in great detail the regulatory system that was used to express the eyeless gene in flies. Your answer must name the two components of this system, as well as a description of how they work together.
Explain every step involved in the breakdown of fatty acids. Explain how each enzyme is working and all the chemical structures involved. Also explain how fatty acid breakdown is being regulated to allow a switch between carbohydrate breakdown. Describe how each protein is working in this regulation.
describe how the Sxl gene in Drosophila influences the differentiation between male and female. How does Sxl get activated? How does the active Sxl enzyme changed the product of the Dsx gene?
Describe how to activate (turn on) the GFP gene as well as the lac operon. What are the functions of restriction enzyme?
Explain in detail how much ATP is produced when oleic acid undergoes β–oxidation
