(a)
To create: A data table for all sampling sites by estimating the frequencies of lap94 allele using a pie chart.
Introduction: Mytilus edulis also known as marine blue mussel is found along the coastal line of the Northern Atlantic Ocean, including Europe, North America, and the Northern Palearctic. It is adapted to high salinity environment due to the presence of a locus for a particular allele, lap94. Lap (leucine amino-peptidase) cleaves the n-terminal amino acids from short peptides and releases free amino acids to the cytosol and thus regulates the mussel’s internal saltwater balance through osmoregulation.
(b)
To draw: A graph representing frequencies for sites 1-8 with respect to increasing salinity in Long Island Sound and to compare the data of sites 9-11 to the data from sites within the Sound.

(c)
To construct: A hypothesis to explain (1)the maintenance of mussels osmotic balance in high salinity environment by lap94 allele but is costly to use in less salty water and (2) long distance dispersal of mussels larvae before their settlement on rocks and grow into adults.

- If someone was working with a 50 MBq F-18 source, what would be the internal and external dose consequences?arrow_forwardWe will be starting a group project next week where you and your group will research and ultimately present on a current research article related to the biology of a pathogen that infects humans. The article could be about the pathogen itself, the disease process related to the pathogen, the immune response to the pathogen, vaccines or treatments that affect the pathogen, or other biology-related study about the pathogen. I recommend that you choose a pathogen that is currently interesting to researchers, so that you will be able to find plenty of articles about it. Avoid choosing a historical disease that no longer circulates. List 3 possible pathogens or diseases that you might want to do for your group project.arrow_forwardnot use ai pleasearrow_forward

In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forwardIf a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?arrow_forward
