practical role of cell and molecular biology in our daily life

A new graduate student, Ardent Angus,  joins the lab at The Best Western University. The PI, Dr. Meg A'Brain, handed her some left over Drug X from Dolt Colt and asked her to test it on mice to see if it lowered blood cholesterol levels using the same conditions as Dolt Colt. Is it:   Replicability   Reproducibility   Generalizability   Translatability   Rigor   Transparency

Compare and contrast the unit of biology at the organismal and the biochemical levels.

The task in this assessment is to describe how a specific gene is replicated and used to make its protein. Choose an important gene for human cells. There are over 20,000 genes in our genome so to help you narrow it down you can think of an enzyme or protein we have studied earlier in the course. You will need to find and describe each of the following details: on which chromosome the gene is located, how the chromosome is opened up to allow for replication or translation, how DNA is replicated, how a gene is transcribed, how a gene is translated, what modifications the protein undergoes after translation, how the gene product is used in the cell. Present your information in a narrative style that describes a series of steps. Think of how the sequence of the processes can be organized into an interesting storyline. You may find you can compose an interesting narrative by making an infographic, an animation, or a comic strip using a program like Pixton. Your narrative should include…
