Summary Introduction

To describe: How the activity of a transcription factor can determine the cell type.

Introduction: The transcription factors are the major proteins that control the expression of a gene expression. It either stimulates or represses the expression of genes based on its activity. It plays an important role in many cellular processes such as cell division, cell growth, cell migration, and so on.

Explanation of Solution

The transcription factors play a central role in regulating the gene expression by binding to the regulatory sequences in the DNA. When it binds to the gene sequence, it forms a complex where the RNA polymerase binds and carries out the transcription process for the formation of mRNA. A single type of transcription factor can bind to a specific sequence of DNA. This specific sequence can be found in many different genes. Thus, a single type of transcription factor can affect the expression of many genes. Some types of transcription factors affect the expression of other transcription factors that generate a cascade and amplify the further effect. Thus, some transcription factors serve as master regulators that can cause the cell to produce or repress many proteins that make a cell to undergo new fate. Hence, the transcription factors can establish the activity of the cell.

10. Your instructor will give you 2 amino acids during the activity session (video 2-7. A. First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid. C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups could bond together. Once you are satisfied, staple or tape the amino acids in place and label the bond that you formed between the two R groups. - Polar covalent Bond - Red - Non polar Covalent boND- yellow - Ionic BonD - PINK Hydrogen Bonn - Purple Hydrophobic interaction-green O=C-N H I.

Find the dental formula and enter it in the following format: I3/3 C1/1 P4/4 M2/3 = 42 (this is not the correct number, just the correct format) Please be aware: the upper jaw is intact (all teeth are present). The bottom jaw/mandible is not intact. The front teeth should include 6 total rectangular teeth (3 on each side) and 2 total large triangular teeth (1 on each side).
