Describe the benefits of the system and the costs of the system.

For the first part of your project choose one type of the following for the animal that you are building: Skeletal System: Nervous System: Circulatory System: Respiratory System: For each type of system you choose, describe the benefits of the system and the costs of the system. This can be in a table:  

Choose a current ethical issue in marine science, such as the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), conditions in fish farms, or another topic your instructor approves.

The Past & Future of Marine Science Essay Considering ethical questions is part of a marine scientist’s job. Part of being ethical is doing your homework and exploring all sides of an issue. Choose a current ethical issue in marine science, such as the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), conditions in fish farms, or […]

Find the x and y components of each bone vector in units of centimeters using a ruler.

Part 1: The human body At the end of this lab, you will find a picture of skeletons posing. For this picture, find the Humerus, Radius, Femur, Tibia (both left and right sides). Treat each bone as a vector beginning at one joint and ending at the other (you can choose, but be careful about […]

How many cut sites on the pMBBS plasmid does each RE have?

Complete the following problems. Restriction enzymes (REs), which cut D NA at specific sequences, are classic tools in molecular biology. Because of their specificity in cutting DNA, REs can be used to “map” DNA sequences by analyzing the fragments generated upon restriction digest, as in the example shown in Figure Your task is to study […]

Describe how the protein is being processed and where, along with how it is being transported or further processed until it reaches its final destination.

Having made it through Cell Molecular Biology this far, you are now an expert on cells and their molecular mechanisms. There are approximately 10,000 proteins in a typical cell that are synthesized through different routes of intracellular protein trafficking. Each of you will be given a different protein and its final location in the cell. […]
