SHHHHHH,” the professor said. “I know you have millions of questions, Shawn, but with have to close the door before the mutant insects get in”, the professor said. “WHAT?” I shouted. “And how do you know my name?” The professor closed the door. “This might sound hard to believe but I tried to make a super human potion and I tested on some animals and then the potion spread…

Tay - Sachs disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern , this means the two alleles in each cell are mutated. The parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive condition each possess one copy of the mutant allele and are unaffected heterozygous carriers. Tay - Sachs disease deteriorates neurons in the brain and spinal cord. The most common form of Tay - Sachs disease is evident in infancy. Infants who inherit the disorder generally appear unaffected until the age of 3 to 6…

this product of castor beans so lethal? Define the key terms (scientific words) in your own words. (notes or textbook can be used as sources) Ricin toxin A (RTA) → toxic protein from seeds of castor plants. Subunit A depurinates adenine in cells Mutants → The process of a gene or chromosome being altered Apoptosis → cell suicide Cell signaling → oversees cellular activities and directs cell actions Signal transduction → Process where a signal from outside of the cell changes something…

Conversely, the smt1 mutant in Arabidopsis accumulates cholesterol and has less C-24 alkylated sterol contents (e.g. less campesterol, sitosterol and stigmasterol) (Diener et al., 2000). This indicates a pivotal role for SMT1 in the channeling of sterol synthesis between alkylated…

and Ricardo Feldman, Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD. Gaucher disease (GD) is an inherited lipid-storage disease caused by mutations in the acid beta-glucocerebrosidase gene (GBA1). Mutant glucocerebrosidase (GCase) leads to the accumulation of glucosylceramide and neurotoxic metabolites. In types 1, 2, and 3 GD, sphingolipid accumulation in macrophages leads to hepatosplenomegaly, hematologic abnormalities, and bone disease. In…

crops, and perceives no future; without the elimination of the mutant species. Jacob arrogantly states “Give me the old days when a man was allowed to do his duty and keep the place clean.” (p.89). Jacob’s evolution of mankind, is the revival of laws in the past. Burning deviants is a call to purity and “keeping the place away from mutated creatures.” He will blame any person to bring his truths to justice. Abusing mutants free will and coming closer to God is Jacob’s wish.…

INTRODUCTION The nervous systems are developed by the proliferation of progenitors in the epithelium, the specification of neurons and glia, the growth and guidance of axons and dendrites, and the development and refinement of electrical and chemical synapses. In the central nervous system (CNS), stem cells reside throughout life in the forebrain, continuing to generate neurons and glia in the subventricular zone (SVZ) surrounding the lateral ventricle and in the dentate gyrus of the…

Subsequently, other families of GFP variants were discovered and GFP mutants were engineered. These families of GFP-like proteins were discovered in a class of non-bioluminescent Anthozoa (corals). These GFP-like variants have differing properties with regards to chromophore, excitation and emission wavelengths (Tsien & Tsien, 1998) e.g. red & later in other coral species - yellow, cyan and orange. The only other species that fluoresces green is Renilla reniformis (Matz et al., 1999).…

My goal is to attain a career where I can express my passion for chemistry, as well as expand my mind in ways that I could never do in any other field. I am very passionate about chemistry, and I want to not only excel, but be extraordinary in the field. After graduation, I will attend a graduate program in which I will pursue a Ph. D. in Pharmacology. During my graduate years of study, I am interested in cancer treatment research. . The well-known treatment of Chemotherapy for cancer can be…

infectious microbes such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi proceeds steadily with the increased use of drugs. The WHO describes microbial resistance as having greater frequency when drugs are misused (“Antimicrobial resistance,” 2014). A few surviving mutants in the presence of a drug may lead to the rapid proliferation of a strain that does not respond as accordingly as its predecessors may have. Yet, the mechanism of varying susceptibility to…
