Question
Chapter 24.5, Problem 13AYP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The function of the peritoneum.
Introduction
The serous membrane is a smooth tissue membrane that consists of a mesothelium layer. It secretes serous fluid. In the human body, there are four types of the serous membrane: the pericardium, the peritoneum, and the tunica vaginalis.

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.
