Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

The Roman numeral for the cranial nerve olfactory is I. The olfactory nerve includes only a special sensory constituent (special sense of olfaction) that is responsible for the sense of smell.

The second cranial nerve is the optic nerve (II). The optic nerve is found in the back of the eye. The major responsibility of the cranial nerve is to convey the visual information from the retinal region to the brain exactly in the vision center through electrical impulses.

The third cranial nerve is the oculomotor nerve (III), which is responsible for the movement of the eyeball and eyelid, lens accommodation, and pupillary contraction.

The fourth cranial nerve is the trochlear nerve (CN IV), which is a motor nerve. The trochlear nerve supplies only one muscle known as the superior oblique. The cell bodies that emerge the IV cranial nerve are sited in the ventral portion of the brain (trochlear nucleus).

The fifth cranial nerve is the trigeminal nerve (V) that includes both the sensory as well as motor function. The major responsibility of the trigeminal nerve is to convey sensory information to the sinuses, skin, and the mucous membrane that are present in the face.

The sixth paired cranial nerve is the abducens (VI). The abducens nerve, also known as abducent nerve, originates from the abducens nucleus in the pons of the brain stem. The abducens nerve is a somatic efferent nerve. It controls the lateral rectus muscle of the eye.

Facial nerves (VII) are nerves that are present on the face, scalp, and side of the neck. It is the seventh cranial nerve.

The eighth cranial nerve is the vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII). The vestibulocochlear nerve is responsible for carrying the somatic afferent fibers from the inner ear.

The ninth cranial nerve is the glossopharyngeal nerve (IX), which is a mixed nerve. It transmits efferent motor as well as the afferent sensory information.

The tenth cranial nerve that connects the brain to the body is the vagus nerve (X). It is the longest of all the cranial nerves. The vagus nerve controls the inner nerve center and communicates motor as well as the sensory impulse to all the bodily parts.

The accessory nerve (XI) is a motor nerve and its roots originate from the medulla and the cervical column. It is the XI paired cranial nerve. It possesses a somatic motor function. The accessory nerve controls the neck muscle movement and it is coiled in appearance.

The twelfth cranial nerve is the hypoglossal nerve (XII). It innervates all the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the tongue. However, the palatoglossus is innervated by a nerve called the vagus nerve.

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…
