Chapter 21, Problem 3MC
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The inflation reflex or Hering-Breuer inflation reflex is a type of reflex that is activated to prevent the over-inflation of the lung. Bronchi and bronchioles of airways consists the pulmonary stretch receptors on their wall. These receptors show the response to excessive stretching of the lung during large inspirations.

Molecular Biology Question
You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?
Molecular Biology
Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.
