Chapter 10.12, Problem 3MQ
Summary Introduction

Virus a prokaryotic microscopic organism measures about 20 – 300 nanometers which are mostly infectious agents. Viruses are pathogenic to humans, plants and animals cause deadly disease. The virus contains single-stranded RNA as their genetic element instead of DNA. The virus needs a host cell in order to replicate itself.

The Sentinel Cell: Nature’s Answer to Cancer?
Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?
Molecular Biology Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.
