Chapter 32, Problem 8RQ
Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason why environmental resistance has not prevented exponential human population growth since prehistoric times with examples.

Introduction: A growth curve represents the population growth with each period of time. A growth curve can be demonstrated by two types of growth curves namely J-shaped growth curve and sigmoid growth curve. The J-shaped growth curve represents the unrestricted or exponential population growth while the sigmoid growth curve represents the slow or restricted growth of population.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the environmental resistance can continue for a long time.

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.
