Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- How can biomedical engineer help in solving the problem of covid-19?SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, enters cells by binding the cell surface protein ACE2. Which do you expect is true of mouse ACE2? Its sequence is similar to the sequence of human ACE2 Its sequence is identical to the sequence of human ACE2 Its sequence bears no similarity to that of human ACE2Discuss the following: “During the evolution of life on earth, RNA lost its glorious position as the first self- replicating catalyst. its role now is as a mere messenger in the information flow from DNA to protein.”
- Some Covid 19 vaccines in development use the adenovirus, a common vector used in gene therapies, to inject the mRNa for the spike protein into human muscle cells. Why might vaccines using a virus vector be more likely to need only refrigeration and not deep-cold storage? Some older vaccines used a weakened strain of the pathogenic virus in the injection in the hope that the weakened virus would induce an immune response without causing disease. The virus vectors used in genetic engineering have all the harmful virus genes cut out and replaced with the foreign gene, such as one that makes a protein that is absent in the human patient. Which type of viral vaccine would you prefer to take as the safest option? Why?Which of the following organisms incorporates peptides along with carbohydrates in its cell wall structures? plants animals bacteria fungiA KDEL sequence is a sequence of amino acids in a protein that binds a KDEL receptor, which helps recycle it back to the ER. Name two techniques a scientist could use in combination to experimentally demonstrate the function of a KDEL sequence. (To help you think about how to answer this: What would happen if the KDEL sequence were nonfunctional? How could you observe the result?) Please answer this and thank you!
- Which of the following best describes the central dogma of molecular biology? A) mRNA is transcribed into DNA, which is then translated into a protein B) DNA is transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into a protien C) DNA is translated into mRNA, which is then transcribed into a protein D) DNA is replicated into mRNA, Which is then transcribed into a protein E) mRNA is translated into DNA, which is then translated into a proteinAlthough it is well known that X-rays cause mutations, they are routinely used to diagnose medical problems, including potential tumors, broken bones, and dental cavities. Why is this done? What precautions need to be taken?Many insects have a “lock and key” type of genitalia in which the male reproductive structures will only fit into the reproductive structures of females of the same species so that even very similar species will not be able to mate with one another. Therefore you would only expect to find sperm of the correct species in the reproductive tract of a female. What properties would you expect to see in the eggs of this insect? Group of answer choices A. very specific species specific recognition proteins on the egg and a fast block to polyspermy B. very specific species specific recognition proteins on the egg and no fast block to polyspermy C. less specific recognition proteins on the egg and a fast block to polyspermy D. less species specific recognition proteins on the egg and no fast block to polyspermy E. asexual reproduction
- Bt eggplant is a genetically-modified eggplant developed by Filipino scientists. It was developed to become pest-resistance containing the gene of the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis which contains toxins that are lethal to some insects including the pest bollworm. Currently, it is under controversy because of a legal battle between its supporters and those who are against it. Should the government ban the production, commercialization and consumption of the said Product?To construct an “interactome” like the one shown in Figure 9-21, scientists identify all of the protein interactions in a particular tissue or cell type. Comparison of interactomes from human muscle versus human brain tissue reveals very different patterns. If you were the scientist involved in this study, how would you explain these results?I am studying pancreatic islet cells and have isolated, cloned, and sequenced a novel protein that you postulate has 4 transmembrane segments. What kind of experiment would allow me to test this hypothesis that there are 4 trans membrane segments?
