An Alarmone is an intracellular signal molecule that is produced due to harsh environmental factors. They regulate the gene expression at transcription level. A riboswitch is a regulatory segment o…
I've been eating lychee fruits recently and noticed that every once in a while (in about 1 of 10 fruits or so) the seed in the fruit is shriveled, while in other fruits from the same batch the seed…
I am struggling to set up a project proposal for validation of a known treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer in mouse models. I want to see how SNPs in patients contribute to their drug resist…
In most dicot plants the xylem is concentrated in the innermost region of the central cylinder. When a cross-sectional view of the root is observed, the protoxylem occupies an area in the shape of a cross or star, the ends of which touch the pericycle. The protofloema is found in the vertices formed by the "arms" of the cross.
I have the following question in systems biology: a) Draw a graph showing the relationship of growth (Vbio) and Vefni for the system here. (Let the horizontal axis represent Vbio and the vertical a…
The basic concepts of genetics described in the preceding chapters can be applied to almost any eukaryotic organism. However, some techniques, such as test crosses, can only be performed with model organisms or other species that can be experimentally manipulated. To study the inheritance patterns of genes in humans and other species for which controlled matings are not possible, geneticists use the analysis of pedigrees and populations.
