Compare and contrast prokaryotic and Eukaryotic chromosome structure. A new study led by researchers from Harvard school of public health (HSPH) and the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in the UK has, for the first time, used genome sequence technology to track changes in a bacteria population following the introduction of a vaccine.

Evolution accounts for the unity and diversity of life, and the continuity of life is based on heritable information in the form of DNA. In a short essay (100-150 words), discuss how the fidelity with which DNA is inherited is related to the processes of evolution.

Have you ever wondered how life on earth sprang up? Where does life come from and what does it take to be alive? Recently, researchers have synthesized ribose- the sugar involved in the backbone of RNA- in the lab based on ice commonly found in space. Previously researchers had synthesized pyrimidine bases cytosine, uracil and thymine; parts of the DNA/RNA alphabet. While others have collected amino acids from meteorites. Think about all the different components that need to work to replicate DNA, create mRNA messages, and translate those messages into proteins for the cell to use. In this post you will reflect on the possibility that all these things have come together to create life somewhere other than on earth. In this discussion, pick a side (yes or no) and answer the following question: Do you think life in outer space is possible? If YES, what might it look like? If NO, why do you think it is not possible? Please remember to add a question to engage your classmates in the…
