1. Many gerontologists (biologists whostudy aging) feel that aging is due in large measure to the loss oftelomeres as somatic cells replicate. Adult human cells have thegene for telomerase, but it is inactive in all but the cells thatgive rise to sperm. Some feel that if the gene for telomerase couldbe "turned on" so that it expresses the active enzyme,then we could become immortal. (You can decide if these people aremore like Hernando De Soto, searching for the Fountain of Youth orDon Quixote, tilting at windmills).
A. Tell what telomeres are and why are they important individing cells. What is the worst case scenario for telomere lossin rapidly dividing cells? B. Describe the molecular events that cause the shortening of telomeres. C. What is the likelihood that we would become immortal if telomerase could be expressed in our somatic cells? Explain.
If an enzyme with no inhibitor has a Vmax of .091 abs/min and a Km of .31 mM. An inhibitor is added (1 uM) which changes the Vmax to .036 abs/min and a Km of .13 mM, so it has a Ki of -1.72 and a Ki' of .65 uM.
Which process is described as creating permanent formation of many specific lock-and-key bonds between complementary molecules on each cell surface? Select one: a. specific adherence b. non-specific adherence c. slime layer formation d. Brownian m..
Determine the unexpanded binomial and expanded binomialfor a trait consisting of 4 alleles?
What are the allele frequencies for the blood types, genotype frequencies, and phenotype frequencies in this sample population?
For what purposes do plants acquire carbon dioxide?
Ion concentrations have a impact on whether there is dissolution of minerals. Microorganisms can alter the charges on their cell surfaces to enhance these processes.
Assume that the genetrpA in an auxotrophic strain ofE. coliis located at 27 minutes, whereas the genepyrE is located at 81 minutes.
Respiration rate at 10 degree Celsius is 10 mg/hr, and the rate at 20 degree Celsius is 20 mg/hr. What is the Q10? Given this Q10, what would the rate be at 30 degree Celsius?
Determine what type of information is provided by the RBC indices and discuss h ow statistically relevant is this information?
A group of Ethiopians were assayed for CCR5-del32 deletion polymorphism. 223 were +/+, 64 were +/del32, and 6 were del32/del32.
Explain how cells meet their energy requirements through the process of fermentation in absence of oxygen along with the examples.
Modern theory suggests that the early pre-life atmosphere on Earth was a reducing one. Why is it believed that oxygen was not present as life formed on Earth.
