Summary Introduction

(a)

To identify: The genes expressed in a specific type of brain cell.

Introduction:

A particular gene can be identified through its expression in a particular cell and its interaction with other genes. To study the gene expression, specific mRNAs corresponding to a gene of interest are to be identified and reverse transcribed to form cDNA. This sequence can be identified through RT-PCR, DNA microarray analysis, and RNA sequencing. To study a particular protein, multiple copies of the gene fragment encoding that protein are synthesized through polymerase chain reaction (PCR). These gene fragments are then inserted into the expression vector to synthesize a large quantity of proteins encoded by the gene in a process known as gene cloning.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To isolate: The neurotransmitter gene expressed in brain cells.

Q8. A researcher wants to study the effectiveness of a pill intended to reduce stomach heartburn in pregnant women. The researcher chooses randomly 400 women to participate in this experiment for 9 months of their pregnancy period. They all need to have the same diet. The researcher designs two groups of 200 participants: One group take the real medication intended to reduce heartburn, while the other group take placebo medication. In this study what are: Independent variable: Dependent variable: Control variable: Experimental group: " Control group: If the participants do not know who is consuming the real pills and who is consuming the sugar pills. This study is It happens that 40% of the participants do not find the treatment helpful and drop out after 6 months. The researcher throws out the data from subjects that drop out. What type of bias is there in this study? If the company who makes the medication funds this research, what type of bias might exist in this research work?
How do I determine the inhertiance pattern from the pedigree diagram?
