what amino acids will be placed in the right order at the ribosome?

D13 B Gene expression results in the synthesis of a protein molecule based on the template strand of the gene segment of DNA. If a DNA template strand had a base sequence of G-G-A-T-C-A; a) what are the codons of the mRNA produced; b) what are the anticodons for the appropriate tRNA molecule; and c) […]

Will improving photosynthetic efficiency help increase global food production? If so, in what way(s)?

According to the United Nations, approximately 957 million people across 93 countries do not have enough to eat. In the 1800s, the world population was 1 billion and has grown to 7.7 billion today.

How can exploring both model and non-model systems help us to address important clinical challenges for patients in the future.

Define model and non-model systems and how they relate to translational science. You should have a section that defines model systems with specific examples including their unique strengths and weaknesses. This should be followed by a section that defines and compares them to non-model systems, again, their unique strengths and weaknesses. The second half of […]

Discuss how hypertension and diabetes have developed and the potential complications of these conditions.

What benefits does that phenotype have over the alternative possible phenotypes?

Q5.4.2 What model of selection is going on in this scenario? How do you know? (i.e. How do the relative fitness values compare to one another)? Q5.4.3 What phenotype is being favored? What benefits does that phenotype have over the alternative possible phenotypes? Q5.4.4 Will this population go to fixation? If so, which allele will […]
