Recently, new anti-aging skin creams have been developed that claim to harness the power of stem cells. One such skin cream contains stem cells from red grape plants, and the manufacturer claims that it will “restore our skin’s stem cells” Do you think this cream will fulfill the manufacturer's promise? Explain.

- Gene Regulation and Breast Cancer Researchers have found that breast cancer cells commonly express a transcription factor known as Ets1 at high levels. Many types of breast cancer are also sensitive to the presence of the hormone estrogen. In estrogen-sensitive breast cancers, tumors grow much more quickly when high levels of estrogen are present. A biologist decides to design an experiment to determine if there was any cooperation between estrogen and Ets1in causing tumor growth. The biologist developed two types of breast cancer cells: one that expressed Ets1 at very high levels, designated as Ets+, and one that was unable to express Ets1, designated as Ets–. The biologist used four test groups in an experiment: 1. Ets1+ cells with added estrogen 2. Ets1- cells with added estrogen 3. Ets1+ cells without estrogen 4. Ets1- cells without estrogen The growth rate of each group of cells was monitored and recorded. Use the passage to answer the question.

- Q) a) A protein gains a mutation of a surface exposed residue. The mutation is Arg --> Leu. Based on the sequence of the protein when it folds the Leu remains on the surface of the protein. What is the change in chemical characteristic of the amino acid caused by this mutation? b) Briefly explain any entropic consequences of this mutation. (2 sentences MAX) c) What might happen in order to overcome these entropic consequences and how would that affect the cell? (1-2 sentences)arrow_forwardNeed help.

In the film, Dr. Jablonski explains that melanin, located in the top layer of human skin, absorbs UV radiation, protecting cells from the damaging effects of UV. Genetics determines the type of melanin (i.e., brown/black eumelanin or red/brown pheomelanin) and the amount of melanin present in an individual’s cells. Based on this information, write a hypothesis for where in the world you would expect to find human populations with darker or lighter skin pigmentation (i.e., different amounts of melanin). 9. Do these data support your hypothesis from Question 5? Justify your answer.arrow_forward
