B. PACO2: ______ _ increased; ____________ decreased; _______ remained the same
C. PCO2: _________ increased; ____________ decreased; _______ remained the same

Introduction:
Upper airway obstruction is a clinical condition characterized by the presence of blockage in the upper airway that includes the trachea, the larynx, or the voice box, and the throat. Blockage in the upper airway prevents the body from getting enough oxygen. Upper airway obstruction leads to the diminishing of pulmonary ventilation.
Please refer to Clinical Application Case-2 for further information.

- 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?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question A gene that codes for a protein was removed from a eukaryotic cell and inserted into a prokaryotic cell. Although the gene was successfully transcribed and translated, it produced a different protein than it produced in the eukaryotic cell. What is the most likely explanation?arrow_forward
