Summary Introduction

To explain:

The rod vision may be more important in dim light than in bright light.

Introduction:

The retina contains the photoreceptors that respond to the light. The photoreceptor of eye is modified into rods and cones cells. These are present in the deep layer of retina and associated with the epithelium layer of retinal pigment.

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.
