Summary Introduction

To determine: The way by which evolution in extreme environments influence genome and amino acid composition.

Introduction: The contribution of individual amino acid composition to the evolutionary rate varies among different organisms. The types of amino acids that contribute to the rate of evolution can be grouped into GC-rich and AT-rich amino acids. Besides, the amino acid with a high composition also contributes more to evolutionary rates than amino acid with low composition in the proteome.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way by which evolution in extreme environments influences the interpretation of the genome sequence data.

Introduction: The types of amino acids which contribute to the evolutionary rates can be grouped into GC-rich and AT-rich amino acids. The amino acid composition contributes to the rate of evolution in the organisms, and this, in turn, is impacted by GC-content.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.     How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population? Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?   Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
