Chapter 38, Problem 1.1BGL
Summary Introduction

To label: The structures of the testes and scrotum in the given diagrams.

Introduction: Reproduction is the biological process involved in the production of a new offspring. The male reproductive organ consists of a number of internal and external sex organs that function to produce, support, and transport sperm.

Fig.2: Structures of the scrotum

Explanation of Solution

Structures of the testes that are depicted in the diagram are as follows:

  1. 1. Cremaster muscle: It is a paired structure found in the spermatic cords superior to the testes.
  2. 2. Dartos muscle: The scrotum wall is composed of a thin layer of superficial fascia present at the internal part to the skin, an external layer of skin, and a smooth muscle layer called dartos muscle.
  3. 3. Scrotum: A skin-covered sac present between the thighs is known as the scrotum.
  4. 4. Tunica albuginea: It is a whitish, thick, fibrous capsule that covers the testis. The tunica albuginea is situated deep to the visceral layer of the tunica vaginalis.

Structures of the scrotum that are depicted in the diagram are as follows:

  1. 1. Efferent duct: This duct connects the rete testis to the epididymis.
  2. 2. Seminiferous tubules: These tubules are located in the testes and are responsible for the production of spermatozoa, which are further differentiated to form sperm cells.
  3. 3. Straight tubule: It connects the convoluted part of the seminiferous tubules to the rete testis.
  4. 4. Rete testis: The rete testis forms a meshwork of interconnected channels present in the mediastinum testis (mass of connective tissue at the back of the testis).
  5. 5. Tunica albuginea: It covers the testes.
  6. 6. Lobule: The testicle is divided into different parts known as lobules.
  7. 7. Septum: It splits the scrotal sac.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for?  3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
There is currently a H5N1 cattle outbreak in North America. According to the CDC on Feb 26*: "A multistate outbreak of HPAI A(H5N1) bird flu in dairy cows was first reported on March 25, 2024. This is the first time that these bird flu viruses had been found in cows. In the United States, since 2022, USDA has reported HPAI A(H5N1) virus detections in more than 200 mammals." List and describe two mechanisms that could lead to this H5N1 influenza strain evolving to spread in human:  Mechanisms 1: Mechanisms 2: For the mutations to results in a human epidered they would need to change how the virus interacts with the human host. In the case of mutations that may promote an epidemic, provide an example for: a protein that might incur a mutation: how the mutation would change interactions with cells in the respiratory tract (name the receptor on human cells) List two phenotypic consequence from this mutation that would increase human risk
You have a bacterial strain with the CMU operon: a) As shown in the image below, the cmu operon encodes a peptide (Pep1), as well as a kinase and regulator corresponding to a two-component system. The cmu operon is activated when Pep 1 is added to the growth media. Pep1 is a peptide that when added extracellularly leads to activation of the Cmu operon. Pep1 cmu-kinase cmu-regulator You also have these genetic components in other strains: b) An alternative sigma factor, with a promoter activated by the cmu-regulator, that control a series of multiple operons that together encode a transformasome (cellular machinery for transformation). c) the gene cl (a repressor). d) the promoter X, which includes a cl binding site (and in the absence of cl is active). e) the gene gp (encoding a green fluorescence protein). Using the cmu operon as a starting point, and assuming you can perform cloning to rearrange any of these genomic features, how would you use one or more of these to modify the…
