The importance of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) in the formation of beak using the results obtained by the experiment performed in the question. Given: In the given experiment, researchers introduced varying concentration of BMP4 protein in the embryo’s beak grown region and measured the size of the beak after the development. The table given below shows the result of the concentration of BMP4 on the beak size in the embryos. Introduction: BMP4 is a protein, which controls cell division in embryonic tissues. BMP4 along with calmodulin influences the structure of beak in birds. This depends on the time when they are expressed in their life cycle of the cell.

For this exercise, an electron micrograph of secretory cells of the anterior pituitary is being used (Sandborn, E.B. (1970) Cells and Tissues by Light and Electron Microscopy, New York, New York: Academic Press, Inc.). The image originally measured 18.7 cm wide and 18.5 cm high with a magnification of 5200x. Given the width of the original micrograph at 18.7cm, what is the true width of unmagnified image? Show calculations.

(Please help me with all of these, I need a short explanation as to why it is the answer for each question)... 1. The evolution/development of the skeletal system found in the Deuterostomes, is made up of two molecules, Ca+2PO4-2 and collagen These molecules are produced released from by a specialized type of stem cell. Therefore, one would expect that these stem cells perform which of the following a) the storage and the release of Ca+2PO4-2 and collagen from vesicles from the Golgi apparatus, b) high levels of protein synthesis c) active transport of amino acids and ions into the stem cells through active transport, d) oxidation of pyruvate by the mitochondria, e) all are correct. 2. A multicellular eukaryote cell typically has enough available ATP to meet its needs for about 90 seconds. What would cause an active cell to exhaust its ATP supply so quickly? A) regular rest is a cellular requirement. B) Photosynthesis used up all ATP. C) ATP is transported into other cells. D)…

Munchkin cats have a mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR3) gene, the same gene mutated in humans suffering from achondroplasia. In cats and humans this causes dwarfism because FGFR3 has a negative effect on bone growth. In achondroplasia, the mutated form of the FGFR3 receptor is constitutively active and this leads to severely shortened bones. A) Draw a simple diagram of the FGFR effect on bone growth in "normal" cats. B) Crossing two munchkin cats always yields 2 munchkin kittens for every 1 normal kitten. True breeding munchkin cats do not exist. Explain this result by showing the genotypes of all parents and offspring. Define the alleles (indicate which is dominant and which is recessive).
