To determine: The measures undertaken to eliminate vitamin A deficiencies in developing countries.
Introduction: Vitamin A is a micronutrient required by the body to strengthen immunity and various other biochemical pathways. It is found in various fruits, vegetables, eggs, butter, meat, and many other products. Carotenoids such as beta carotene are found in plants that convert into vitamin A in the body.
To determine: The success rate of the measures that are used to curb vitamin A deficiencies.
Introduction: Vitamin A is an essential nutrient required by the body for the proper functioning of various biochemical pathways. It is necessary for alleviating various health-related complications. Various measures are employed for dealing with vitamin A deficiencies worldwide.

- 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
