  1. a)  
Summary Introduction

To determine:

The number of codons in m-RNA sequence ACUUGAUGCCAUGGUAUG .

Concept introduction:

A codon is defined as the nucleotide sequence of DNA or RNA arranged in a set of three. It is involved in either initiation or termination of protein synthesis. There are 64 codons that codes for specific amino acid. Codons are responsible for the process of translation as transfer RNA carriers amino acids from cytoplasm, as it is present in the form of codon and codons are bind with anticodon. The m-RNA sequence which is transcribed is decoded into ribosome and it helps in joining amino acid to form polypeptide chain and initiate the process of transcription.

If you transplant trunk neural crest into the cranial neural crest region of a developing embryo, will you see the donor tissue form cartilage? Does the neural crest only give rise to two cells in the developing embryo, and is essential for lamprey to develop their jaw structure? Does a multipotent neural crest cell that is receiving Wnt signals become a Chromaffin cell?
Using quail and chick embryos, quail-specific antibody and fluorescent tissue-specific antibodies, design an experiment where you investigate the tissues the cranial neural crest can give rise to.  What are four derivatives of the cranial neural crest that you expect to see in the resulting chimeric embryos?
Does the neural crest have to undergo epithelial to mesenchymal transition prior to migration through the developing embryo?  Does the neural crest differentiate into different cell types based on their axial position along the anterior and posterior axis?
