Question
Chapter 34, Problem 34.7CR
Summary Introduction
To explain: Why it is incorrect to describe human evolution as a ‘ladder’ leading to Homo sapiens.
Introduction:
Organisms of hominin lineage (extinct species) are closely related to humans than those of their ancestors, apes. These species differ among themselves in brain and body size, diet, use of tools, and teeth morphology. Hominins evolved into present day Homo sapiens through various physiological changes. These changes were their adaptations to develop into modern day humans.

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.
