What is the purpose of incubating the lambda phage/E.coli mixture at room temperature for 20min? Incubation at room temperature inactivates the cI repressor. During incubation at room temperature the lambda phage will enter the lytic cycle. Incubation at room temperature allows for the absorption of lambda phage Incubation at room temperature will allow the lambda phage to remain in the lysogenic cycle.arrow_forward

- Hello! Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of targeted vs mass control using COVID-19. ( if you can also link an article which talks about this it will be much appreciated!) Thank you!arrow_forwardIn addition to the many pharmaceutical products available to treat various diseases, there are also many “natural remedies” that may treat the same diseases, though they do not have FDA approval. For example, Dramamine was developed to treat nausea, but many tout ginger as an effective remedy for nausea. Despite the potential of these natural remedies, pharmaceutical companies do not invest in the development of these natural remedies to obtain FDA approval. Explain why this is the case, and what might be a potential solution to this underinvestment.arrow_forward6arrow_forward

More than one answer may be correct. THe graph relating to the information is included below. The figure shows the number of cells that have clusters of IRE1 molecules after those cells are treated with various levels of thapsigargin (Tg), a chemical that can induce ER stress. IRE1 can form these clusters when ER stress is induced and this clustering can cause activation of RNAse activity in IRE1. In this experiment, normal IRE1 was used (IRE1α) that can bind to Sec61, along with a modified version of IRE1 that binds to Sec61 more weakly than normal IRE1 (wIRE1α), and another modified version that binds to Sec61 more strongly than normal IRE1 (sIRE1α). From this figure you can conclude that: Question 18 options: IRE1 binding to Sec61 promotes the formation of IRE1 clumps IRE1 binding to Sec61 prevents the formation of IRE1 clumps co-translational translocation is a key process the golgi aparatus is heavily involved in the unfolded protein response The…arrow_forwardReverse translate the sequence of insulin pasted below:MALWMRLLPLLALLALWGPDPAAAFVNQHLCGSHLVEALYLVCGERGFFYTPKTRREAEDLQVGQVELGGGPGAGSLQPLALEGSLQKRGIVEQCCTSICSLYQLENYCNUse the webserver listed here:https://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/st/emboss_backtranseq/Please optimize the codons for Homo sapiens or Escherichia coli.
