Non-Mendelian Punnett Squares Practice

Non-Mendelian Punnett Squares Practice or each of the following Punnett Squares, IDENTIFY the alleles of the parents and the genotypes of the ffspring; COLOR the phenotypes of the parents and offspring; AND ANSWER the questions that follow. hybrid Crosses with Polygenic Traits order to determine the alleles for a dihybrid cross, you must distribute them evenly (think F.O.I.L. m math). In a polygenic trait, the number of dominant alleles controls a variation in gene pression. For humans, this is true for height and skin color. An individual with all dominant alleles have Dark Brown Skin, 3 dominant alleles will have Light Brown Skin, 2 dominant alleles will have Skin, 1 dominant allele will have Light Tan Skin, and no dominants will have pale skin. A mother Tan Skin and a father with Light Brown Skin want to know the possible skin colors of their children. X an Skin (AaBb) x t Brown Skin(AaBB) 12 12 19 EXIO

Pathway of protein synthesis

Based on the following protein descriptions, draw the pathway of protein synthesis — starting with the mRNA attaching to the ribosome (this is starting at a later step than in question 1). Clearly label all parts of your diagram — including organelles and what is happening in each organelle for each specific protein. In addition, write an explanation of the signal sequences the protein must have for proper synthesis and targeting. Also include the terms such as co- translational, post-translational, anterograde, retrograde (if appropriate). a. Protein X is a soluble protein used for detoxification in the liver. It has a galactose modification. b. Protein “P” is involved in photosynthesis. This protein is not modified. This protein is a type Il transmembrane protein. c. This protein is secreted from the cell. It has N-linked glycosylation modifications. There is an endomembrane diagram posted on Canvas that you can use for your drawings. You may put all 3 pathways on one diagram as long as it is clear, which information goes with which protein. The diagram looks like this: plasma membrane

The nucleus of a cell

The nucleus of a cell and the mitochondria in that same cell have different DNA. Mitochondria contain DNA (mtDNA) only from an individual’s mother, while the DNA in the nucleus (nuclear DNA) is half from the father and half from the mother. Certain mutations in mtDNA can lead to serious health concerns for the baby. The procedure involves two eggs and one sperm: doctors fertilize an egg from the mother (with mtDNA mutations) with a sperm from the father; in the other egg from the other woman (which has healthy mitochondria), doctors remove the nucleus of the cell; they take the nucleus from the fertilized egg and implant it into the egg from the other woman, producing an egg with a nucleus that’s been fertilized by the mother and father but with all other organelles and cellular structures from the other woman:; this final egg cell is then implanted into the mother to develop into an embryo.

The embryo will have DNA from its mother and father (in the nucleus of the cells) as well as DNA from the other woman (in the mitochondria), thus producing a baby with DNA from three individuals. While this mitochondrial therapy provides the opportunity for people to have healthy babies, free from the crippling diseases brought about by some mtDNA mutations, it also raises ethical concerns, for example, about creating "designer babies." Prompt: What do you think? Write a paragraph about whatyou think about the procedure you read above.

Should legislators give the go-ahead for doctors to start implementing this technology to allow people to have babies without mitochondrial diseases? Here are some questions you may consider in your response (you don’t have to respond to all of these questions,*:hese are just some ideas to get you going). Are you too concerned about the biological and ethical concerns surrounding this type of technology? Should we do more research before fulfy implementing this technique in humans? Is it our job to "play God?" Are there provisions we could write into law to prevent the "slippery slope" argument? If there is a scientific way to prevent diseases in humans, should we always do so? Is there any real, discernable difference between this mitochondrial therapy and IVE (in-vitro fertilization) 7 Is curing a disease really the same as creating "designer babies?" Other organelle diseases Write a second paragraph about a different disease related to a different organelle. Briefly describe which organelle is affected, the effects of the disease, and the normal functioning of that organelle. Are there any cures or treatments? Post Please write the 2 paragraphs responding to the prompt by the start of the first exam, Thursday 3/14. You should cite specific information (i.e., evidence) from the information written above, the article linked above, and/or another article you found on your own to support your claims.

Glycemic Index and Sports Performance

Title: Glycemic Index and Sports Performance

This week we are looking at sports-driven nutrition.  All exercises need carbohydrates as fuel.  As you learned from reading the chapter on carbohydrates, there are many types of carbohydrates from simple, like sugar, to complex, like fiber. Another way to look at carbohydrates is the spike in blood glucose after we eat food containing carbohydrates.  The glycemic index and glycemic load are built off this concept. To learn more, go to the following website: Glycemic Index.

For this discussion, we will discuss the efficacy of the glycemic index for athletes. Find one peer-reveiwed research article on the glycemic index and exercise or athletic performance. Be sure the article you present, investigated the effect of different glycemic diets on endurance or performance. This discussion is not about glycemic control of blood glucose or the glycemic index and diabetes or obesity.

In your initial Forum post:

  • list your selected article
  • provide the reference for your chosen article
  • describe the study and the results
  • state what the study concludes
  • evaluate the article. Do you think the study made appropriate conclusions from its data? Was the study designed correctly to address the hypothesis?
  • Finally, provide your opinion on the matter. Be sure to justify your position.

Explain why hazard identification assessments are limited

Explain why hazard identification assessments are limited in definitively ascribing a causal association between environmental exposures and adverse health effects. In 2017, scientists from NC State discovered that GenX, a PFAS-related compound, had spilled over from an industrial chemical plant owned by Chemours (a DuPont company) into the Cape Fear River.
Considerable work has been conducted by the NC Department of Environmental Quality (NC DEQ), along with the Department of Health and Human Services and academic partners, to characterize the risk of GenX exposure on the health of exposed populations. Look over this fact sheet for some basic information about the event and the steps the state has taken to address potential health risks associated with exposure. 15. Based on information provided in the fact sheet , what component of the human health risk assessment framework was assessed through the monitoring work conducted by the NC DEQ? What component(s) is/are missing and still require further study? Explain.

Urinary stress incontinence

A five-month old female was brought by her mother to the pediatrician’s office for her scheduled “Synagis” shot. Synagis is a medication given prophylactically to high risk infants to protect them from acquiring the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and avoid an acute respiratory illness. The physician’s progress note for the visit concludes with his impression of “ex-30 week premature infant here for Synagis injection, subcutaneous, completed.”
