ze the results of experiments that investigate nutritional requirement of
several mutant strains of yeast. The mutations in these strains cause a nutritional requirement for an
amino acid, such that the strains will not grow in media that lack one specific amino acid. Any mutant
that has a nutritional requirement is called an auxotroph, and is incapable of growing in a "minimal
medium" containing only a carbon source (e.g., glucose), a simple nitrogen source (e.g., ammonium
sulfate), and various salts and minerals. Such strains can be supported on a medium supplemented
with only the missing nutrient or on a "rich" medium that contains amino acids, vitamins, nitrogenous
bases, etc. (often in the form of an extract from yeast). The wild-type individual that can synthesize
the metabolic component is a prototroph, and is capable of growth on minimal medium.
The mutant strains in this activity are unable to synthesize tryptophan, lysine, or histidine;…

- Bt eggplant is a genetically-modified eggplant developed by Filipino scientists. It was developed to become pest-resistance containing the gene of the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis which contains toxins that are lethal to some insects including the pest bollworm. Currently, it is under controversy because of a legal battle between its supporters and those who are against it. Should the government ban the production, commercialization and consumption of the said Product?arrow_forwardThe lab you joined recently want to investigate the role of uncoupling protein in-vivo models. Your supervisor knew that you have learnt in-vivo model and uncoupling in your BIOTECH 2CB3 course. Based on the information you learnt you have to make a list of organisms that could be used kind to study the mechanism of uncoupling of proteins? What are you are going tp suggest as an ideal model to study the uncoupling proteins in-vivo? only one answer options: newborn mammals, hibernating animals animals acclimated to cold environments animals live in hot weather I and II I and IIIarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are true regarding the metabolome, the proteome, the genome, and the transcriptome? The number of genes found in the genome equals the number of different proteins that can be made within any give cell. The number of transcription products equals the number of proteins that can be made from these transcription products. The number of genes found in the genome equals the number of different transcription products that can be made within any given cell. The metabolome is encoded by the genome. None of the above.arrow_forward

- For the Endocytic pathway• What is the general composition of lysosomes? How are they formed? How do they obtain low pH? Why is their low pH important?arrow_forwardYou plan to synthesize a peptide to be used as a vaccine to treat melanoma, a particularly aggressive form of skin cancer. Normally, gp100, a protein on the surface of melanocytes, activates cell growth when it is bound by its ligand. Activation of the growth pathway depends on the presence of threonine in the ligand. The effective peptide vaccine will mimic the natural ligand, but won’t cause cell growth and division. Below is the sequence of the natural ligand: LDMKTAG In order to ensure your newly designed peptide vaccine does not cause cell growth upon binding, you must substitute the Threonine residue at position 5. What amino acid would you replace it with, bearing in mind that the peptide should still be similar enough to bind to the gp100 protein in the surface of melanocytes. Explain your choice. Your vaccine will be administered as a topical cream, and you require your peptide to have an overall neutral charge in order to be functional. At what pH should you formulate…arrow_forwardMark the alternative that best explains the strategies for using tails and/or fusion proteins associated with the protein of interest. * a) fusion proteins have different functions, including increasing the molecular weight of the protein of interest and thereby facilitating the process of protein purification by affinity chromatography. b) Histidine, c-Myc and GST tails have a dual function, since they can act both in reducing the formation of inclusion bodies and in facilitating the solubility of the protein of interest. c) the introduction of fusion proteins, such as Maltose-binding protein (MBP), at the C-terminus of the protein of interest has as main objective to increase the expression yield as they facilitate the protein aggregation process. d) the introduction of tails, such as c-Myc, in the C-terminus aims to facilitate the protein purification process through the affinity chromatography methodology.arrow_forward
