Chapter 25.4, Problem 1CYP
Summary Introduction

To determine:

The reason the gene expression would not be the same in all cells of an organism.

Given:

The different cell types in a multicellular organism differ dramatically in both structure and function.

Introduction:

Genes encode proteins. These proteins encoded by the genes dictate the functions of a cell. Therefore, the genes expressed in a cell determine the tasks it can do. Moreover, each step occurring in the flow of the information from a cell’s DNA to RNA and then, to protein provides with a potential control point for the self-regulation of the cell’s functions by adjusting the type and amount of proteins manufactured.

What is the concept "calories consumed must equal calories burned" in regrads to nutrition?
You intend to insert patched dominant negative DNA into the left half of the neural tube of a chick.  1) Which side of the neural tube would you put the positive electrode to ensure that the DNA ends up on the left side?  2) What would be the internal (within the embryo) control for this experiment?  3) How can you be sure that the electroporation method itself is not impacting the embryo?  4) What would you do to ensure that the electroporation is working? How can you tell?
Describe a method to document the diffusion path and gradient of Sonic Hedgehog through the chicken embryo. If modifying the protein, what is one thing you have to consider in regards to maintaining the protein’s function?
