Question
Chapter 8, Problem 36RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The rate of conduction of sensory axons, in meter per sec and miles per hour.
Introduction:
The neurons or nerve cells are regarded as the constituting and working units of the brain. It is made up of three parts, that are axons, dendrites and the cell body. It contains a long threadlike part which is responsible for the conduction of impulse from the cell body to other cells.

Explain:
Healthy Cell Function Overview→ Briefly describe how a healthy cell usually works: metabolism (ATP production), pH balance, glycogen storage, ion transport, enzymes, etc.
Gene Mutation and Genetics Part→ Focus on the autosomal recessive mutation and explain:
How gene mutation affects the cell.
How autosomal inheritance works.
Compare the normal and mutated gene sequences simply. → Talk about possible consequences of a faulty hydrolytic enzyme.
Can you fill out those terms
Explain down bellow what happens to the cell:
Decreased pH in mitochondria
Increased ATP
Decreased pH in cytosol
Increased hydrolysis
Decreasing glycogen and triglycerides
Increased MAP kinase activity
Poor ion transport → For each one:→ What normally happens?→ What is wrong now?→ How does it mess up the cell?

However, a SNP in the position shown in gray (right) would prevent cleavage at this site by EcoRI One of the SNPs in B. rapa is found within the Park14 locus and can be detected by RFLP analysis. The CT polymorphism is found in the intron of the Bra013780 gene found on Chromosome 1. The Park14 allele with the "C" in the SNP has two EcoRI sites and thus is cleaved twice by EcoRI If there is a "T" in that SNP, one of the EcoRI sites is altered, so the Park14 allele with the T in the SNP has only one EcoRI site (Fig. 5-3).
