Question
Chapter 21.4, Problem 1CS
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The way in which the proteins encoded by different members of the globin gene family vary in their affinity for oxygen.
Introduction:
Oxygen is the most essential requirement for humans and animals. A gene named as globin gene is responsible for the production of proteins that have an affinity towards oxygen. These proteins are responsible for the transportation of oxygen across different body parts. The best-known example of globin protein is hemoglobin.

Molecular data will be limited to DNA sequences, with identification relying heavily on Genbank returns via blastN. The researchers would obtain their samples from the generated database and analyze the DNA barcode of each macroalgae. The researchers would also compare the previous list of discovered seaweeds from Panglao island to generate a new and updated version for this study. The research would no text end outside or to the neighboring islands around Panglao, Bohol. Neither would the researchers add or include specimens that did not appear in the database or originate from Panglao island. The data to be considered would also not discuss or include the entire taxonomic key of each available sample."arrow_forwardNeed help fast Explain briefly how bacteriophages causes mutation .arrow_forward

- Q5. In lab 6, you will set up a PCR reaction to yield amplified DNA products of the rpo B(RNA polymerase B) and 16s rRNA genes. In lab 7, you will set up a sequencing reaction using about 40 ng of these PCR products that you will then add a sequencing primer to the sequencing reaction. If a sequencing reaction is set up with a 100-fold excess of primer to the PCR-amplified DNA product you want to sequence, calculate the number of sequencing primers you will need to add to this sequencing reaction. To perform this calculation, assume your 40 ng sample of double stranded DNA is 4,000 base-pairs (bp) long. Using these two variables of your PCR product [length (in bp) and amount (in g, grams)], you can calculate the number of DNA molecules being sequenced with two conversion factors using the formula below: The average weight of 1 bp is approximately ~650 (g/mole)/bp Avogadro’s number which is 6.02 X 1023 molecules/mole The easiest way to solve this problem is to figure out how much one…arrow_forwardVISUAL SKILLS Griffith was trying to develop a vaccinefor S. pneumonia when he was surprised to discover thephenomenon of bacterial transformation.
