Answer to Problem 1A

Correct answer:

Spongy bone contains red bone marrow, where the cells of the blood form. Therefore, option (b) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for the correct statement:

The long bone of the legs and arms comprises of a spongy bone. This bone consists of the red bone marrow, in the spaces present between the bones. Red bone marrow is responsible for producing all types of blood cells.

Option (b) is given as “contain red bone marrow, where the blood cells are formed”.

“Spongy bone contains red bone marrow, where the blood cells are formed”, it is the right answer.

Hence, option (b) is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option (a) is given as “contains osteons”.
Spongy bone does not consist of the osteons; instead it is the compact bone that possesses it. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option (c) is given as “weakens bones”.
A spongy bone does not weaken the bones; instead it provides strength. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option (d) is given as “takes up most of a leg bone”.
The spongy bone does not take up most of the portion of the long bone. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option (e) is given as “All of these are correct”.
All of the above statements together are not correct as only the red bone marrow is present in the spongy bone. So, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options (a), (c), (d) and (e) are incorrect.

Conclusion

:

Spongy bone contains red bone marrow, where the cells of the blood form.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for?  3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
