Chapter 16, Problem 1TY
Summary Introduction

Introduction: Eukaryotic cell cycle involves a series of changes including growth, replication, and division and this results in the production of new cells. During interphase, the cell prepares itself for the process of cell division. Interphase is composed of many phases which prepare the cell for the process of cell growth and division.

Answer to Problem 1TY

Correct answer: The chromosomes are replicated in the “S phase” of the cell cycle. Hence, the correct answer is option b.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct answer:

Interphase of the eukaryotic cell cycle is composed of many phases. The cell cycle involves the growth, division, and replication of chromosomes. This ultimately results in the production of the new cells through cell division. Replication of chromosomes to form sister chromatids takes place during S phase of the interphase. A cell will have twice the number of chromatids compared to the number of chromosomes present in the G1 phase.

Option b is given as “S phase”.

Replication of chromosomes takes place in the S phase of the cell cycle. Hence, the correct answer is option b.

Reason for incorrect answer:

Option a is given as “G1 phase”.

In the G1 phase, the cell may become committed for the process of cell division. The process of cell growth also occurs during this phase. A cell may accumulate certain molecular changes that will guide the cell to advance through the rest of the cell cycle. Hence, option a is incorrect.

Option c is given as, “M phase”.

M phase is defined by the presence of mitosis and cytokinesis. During mitosis, the mother cell is divided into two daughter cells and each daughter cell receives the same complement of chromosomes. Hence, option c is incorrect.

Option d is given as “G2 Phase”.

In addition to cell growth, proteins necessary for the process of cell division are synthesized in G2 Phase. Hence, option d is incorrect.

Option e is given as, “none of the above”.

G1, S, and G2  phase make the interphase of the eukaryotic cell cycle. The process of replication of chromosomes takes place during the S phase of the cell cycle. Hence, option e is incorrect.

Hence, the options a, c, d, and e are incorrect.

Conclusion

The process of replication of chromosomes takes place in the S phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle.

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
There is currently a H5N1 cattle outbreak in North America. According to the CDC on Feb 26*: "A multistate outbreak of HPAI A(H5N1) bird flu in dairy cows was first reported on March 25, 2024. This is the first time that these bird flu viruses had been found in cows. In the United States, since 2022, USDA has reported HPAI A(H5N1) virus detections in more than 200 mammals." List and describe two mechanisms that could lead to this H5N1 influenza strain evolving to spread in human:  Mechanisms 1: Mechanisms 2: For the mutations to results in a human epidered they would need to change how the virus interacts with the human host. In the case of mutations that may promote an epidemic, provide an example for: a protein that might incur a mutation: how the mutation would change interactions with cells in the respiratory tract (name the receptor on human cells) List two phenotypic consequence from this mutation that would increase human risk
You have a bacterial strain with the CMU operon: a) As shown in the image below, the cmu operon encodes a peptide (Pep1), as well as a kinase and regulator corresponding to a two-component system. The cmu operon is activated when Pep 1 is added to the growth media. Pep1 is a peptide that when added extracellularly leads to activation of the Cmu operon. Pep1 cmu-kinase cmu-regulator You also have these genetic components in other strains: b) An alternative sigma factor, with a promoter activated by the cmu-regulator, that control a series of multiple operons that together encode a transformasome (cellular machinery for transformation). c) the gene cl (a repressor). d) the promoter X, which includes a cl binding site (and in the absence of cl is active). e) the gene gp (encoding a green fluorescence protein). Using the cmu operon as a starting point, and assuming you can perform cloning to rearrange any of these genomic features, how would you use one or more of these to modify the…
