Summary Introduction
To review:
The location of the lungs and differentiate between the parietal pleura and the visceral pleura.
Introduction:
Lungs are the cone-shaped primary organ of the respiratory system, where the exchange of gases occurs. A pulmonologist is a specialist in treating and diagnosing the lung diseases.

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.
