The FOXP2 gene is sometimes called the “language gene.” Why is this name inaccurate?
Based on the NCBI Blastp and reciprocal analysis, are there any mutations to suggest that mus musculus is a good model to test the human FGFR3 gene. This is the only model we have to go off of to predict whether a mouse is suitable. I can’t seem to grasp what exactly I’m suppose to look for in these two photos.
Two component systems are common in bacteria to regulate the expression of specific genes in response to environmental signals. Which of the following can be said of two component systems?

- Termicin is a small antifungal protein in termites that is produced by cells and secreted into termite saliva in response to a pathogen. In vitro translation of the termicin-encoding gene is performed, and the effects of that product are compared to those of termicin extracted from a termite. You see that extracted termicin exhibits more antifungal behavior than in vitro translated termicin. After further analysis, you see that extracted termicin contains 3 disulfide bonds, while in vitro translated termicin contains zero. The addition of microsomes to the in vitro translation reaction results in termicin with all 3 disulfide bonds. What experimental condition is most likely responsible for this difference? A. in vitro translation was not performed at the correct temperature affecting protein folding B. a mutation occurred during in vitro translation, leading to differences in disulfide bond formation O C. the UPR can not be activated in vitro, therefore, this protein can only be…arrow_forwardAlbinism is a condition where individuals can't make melanin pigment.
