Describe and explain a hypothetical microarray experiment used to compare transcription between control and estrogen-treated hepatocytes (liver cells). Assume there at 10 genes on the microarray, and that the mRNA from control cells is labeled with a red fluorophore and the mRNA from the estrogen-treated cells is labeled with a green fluorophore. Please answer the question in complete, clear sentences. Explain how you could tell if the expression of a gene was:
a. the same for both samples.
b. higher in estrogen-treated cells
c. lower in estrogen-treated cells.
d. expression absent/undetectable in either cell type.

In female mice, both the glucocorticoid (cortisol) receptor and the estrogen receptor are expressed in liver cells (hepatocytes). The control element to which the glucocorticoid receptor binds is a short-strip of DNA that can accommodate the binding of the glucocorticoid receptor dimer. This control element is called a glucocorticoid response element (GRE). It is located1000 bp downstream from the poly-A site for the PEPCK gene. When this gene is activated by cortisol, it helps the hepatocyte to release glucose into...
You are conducting a microarray experiment with yeast cells and have labeled the cDNAs generated from cells grown under normal condition (N) with a red dye and the cDNAs generated from the same cell line after the cells were subjected to a stress (S) with a green dye. For gene spot 15, you observe that the color was red, what does that mean? A. The number of chromosomes per cell with gene 15 was higher after stress (S) B. The...
can someone explain how to answer this with reasons why

The microarray was done comparing normal tissue the microarray are shown below. One of the patients is John sequence of proteins. What are these mutations? How do the mutations change the 9.
