You insert a gene (GFP) that produces a green fluorescence signal into several single- celled zygotes of frogs. The GFP gene can only insert once into the genome at a random location. In screening the fully-developed genetically-engineered frogs you observe three different patterns of green fluorescence. a. Most frogs fluoresce throughout their entire body b. Some frogs fluoresce only in their muscular tissue c. Few frogs do not fluoresce anywhere despite having the GFP gene sequence in their genome Explain what likely happened in each of these cases

I am confused about how stem cell transplants works. If you put a semi differentiated tadpole nucleus in a denucleated egg cell, it’ll develop into a fully formed tadpole, but if you put a fully differentiated tadpole nucleus, it won’t (because the genes have already been expressed in a way where the cytoplasmic determinants cannot operate to the fullest). Then how come in stem cell transplants, you use adult nucleuses that are already developed and transplant them into the denucleated egg cells?
You are studying a protein that you observe to be located in the ER and Golgi. You hypothesize that this protein is an ER resident protein. How would you go about testing your hypothesis? A. Increase the pH of the Golgi and see if the protein is secreted from the cell. B. All are experiments that will address the question. O C. Look for and remove KDEL sequence and look to see if the protein is present in the ER. Đ. Look for and remove KDEL sequence and look to see if the protein is secreted from cell.
5)What are the characteristics of stem cells? (Select ALL that apply) Select one or more: a. They have the potential to develop into different cell types. b. They have the ability to make more stem cells. c. They have the potential to develop into any cell type in the human body. d. When certain genes are turned on, stems cell undergo differentiation. e. Stem cells can divide indefinitely
A gene in jellyfish that make them glow in the dark was cut out and replaced inside a bacteria cell. The bacteria will now glow in the dark. Is this and example of selective breeding or genetic engineering?
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

These are used to attract female chickens (called hens). The bigger combs are called single combs. Roosters with single combs are more attractive to hens than those with smaller combs called rose combs. Saleh mates his hybrid single comb rooster named Sancho, to his favorite rose combed hen, named Maria so they can make baby chickens (chicks). Create a Punnett Square to show the possibilities that could result from this mating. Alleles and Phenotype All Genotype and Parent Genotypes Punnett Square Phenotype Possibilities Allele Phenotype Genotype Phenotype Dad Mom a. Maria's Genotype b. Sancho's Genotype 5 of 7 c. What is the probability of having a single comb chick? d. What is the probability of rose comb chick? e. What is the probability for a heterozygous?

Which of the following statements about qPCR is true? a. The Ct value is generally directly proportional to the level of gene expression b.The intensity of fluorescence signal is generally inversely proportional to the level of gene expression c.The Ct value is generally inversely proportional to the level of gene expression d.The intensity of fluorescence signal is generally directly proportional to the level of gene expression
We have spent a lot of time comparing channelrhodopsin (which is found in Chlamydomonas) with rhodopsin (which is found in humans). What about these two photoreceptors is correct? A. The opsin proteins are homologous and serve as ion channels that transport Ca2+ ions. B. The opsin proteins aren’t homologous, but both species have homologous enzymes involved in retinal synthesis. C. The opsin proteins aren’t homologous, but they both interact with G proteins, that do share a common ancestry. D. The opsin proteins are homologous, they just fold into very different native conformations.
Xeroderma pigmentosuma. is a genetic disorder that results in uncontrolled cell growth.b. is a genetic disorder in which the NER system is not fully functional.c. is a genetic disorder that results in the loss of pigment in certainpatches of skin.d. results from the lack of DNA polymerase proofreading.e. Both b and d are true of this disorder.
New treatments for several conditions are being developed using stem cells in medical waste, such as biopsy material, teeth, menstrual blood, umbilical cords, and fatty tissue removed in liposuction. For example, fat samples from injured horses are used to grow stem cells to treat tendon injuries. Explain how the two defining characteristics of stem cells enable them to be used to replace damaged or diseased tissue, so that the new tissue functions as opposed to forming a scar.
You are studying a gene that makes a protein product that is important to vision. In which cell types might you expect this gene to be silenced? Choose all correct answers. Only choose "none" if the gene would not be silenced in any of these cell types. ✔none bone marrow cells of an adult cells in the retina of the eye of an adult Opluripotent cells in the developing embryo skin cells of an adult
