Chapter 10, Problem 14P
The figure that follows shows part of a modified screen shot of part of the human genome as displayed on the UCSC Genome Browser. A through G map the sequences within individual cDNA clones to the genome sequence. Refer to the key in Fig. 10.3 if you need help in interpreting this diagram. Pay close attention to the vertical widths of the icons indicating exons.
How many annotated genes do you think are present in this region of the human genome?
For all annotated genes in this region, indicate whether they are transcribed in the direction from centromere to telomere or from telomere to centromere.
How many promoters are suggested by the data? Approximately where are these promoters located?
How many different proteins are encoded by the DNA sequences in this region?
What is unusual about this region of the human genome?

Question 37 options: Surgical scrub Sterilization Chemical removal Mechanical removalarrow_forwardAfter you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.) Data Table 1Stage Totals PercentInterphase Mitosis: Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis Totals 100 100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours. (Example: If percent is 20%, then Time in Hours = .2 * 24 = 4.8) Record your data in Data…arrow_forward

PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen. How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?

Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.arrow_forwardOther than oil and alcohol, are there other liquids you could compare to water (that are liquid at room temperature)?
