Chapter 26, Problem 43P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The effect of cholesterol feeding on the amount of HMG-CoA reductase mRNA should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Cholesterol is an organic lipid molecule. It is a steroid which is synthesized in all animal cells and is an important component of cell membrane. Cholesterol also functions to serve as a precursor for steroid hormones, vitamin D, and bile acid. In vertebrates, cholesterol is produced by the hepatic cells.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The purpose isolating actin mRNA must be determined.

Cholesterol also functions to serve as a precursor for steroid hormones, vitamin D, and bile acid. In vertebrates, cholesterol is produced by the hepatic cells.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The effect of cholesterol diet on the HMG CoA reductase protein should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Cholesterol is an organic lipid molecule. It is a steroid which is synthesized in all animal cells and is an important component of cell membrane. Cholesterol also functions to serve as a precursor for steroid hormones, vitamin D, and bile acid. In vertebrates, cholesterol is produced by the hepatic cells.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The reason for surprising results in graph B.

Cholesterol is an organic lipid molecule. It is a steroid which is synthesized in all animal cells and is an important component of cell membrane. Cholesterol also functions to serve as a precursor for steroid hormones, vitamin D, and bile acid. In vertebrates, cholesterol is produced by the hepatic cells.

Interpretation Introduction

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
proteins. Which of the following will tell you whether a protein would be found in the lumen of the ER? A. You run a hydropathy plot an look for hydrophobic peaks that span 20-30 amino acids B. You isolate microsomes and see whether the proteins are inserted into the membrane of the microsome C. You run a hydropathy plot an look for a lack of hydrophobic peaks that span 20-30 amino acids O D. You do in vitro translation of each protein in the presence or absence of microsomes and look to see whether there is a size change in the presence of microsomes.
Leaderless. The MRNA for the A repressor begins with 5'-AUG-3', 5'-AUG-3', which encodes the methionine residue that begins the protein. What is unusual about this beginning? Would it cause the MRNA to translate efficiently or not?
protein. You create a mouse line with Cas9 under control of a brain-specific enhancer, while the short guide RNA complementary to the first exon of Gene Y is expressed in all tissues. You subsequently sequence Gene Y in both brain and liver tissue. What would expect in each tissue? You can assume that the CRISPRICas9 system will impact both copies of Gene Y in cells, and that the first exon of Gene Y is necessary for Gene Ys function. a. Liver: Functional Gene Y; Brain: Functional Gene Y b. Liver: Nonfunctional Gene Y; Brain: Funtional Gene Y c. Liver: Functional Gene Y; Brain: Nonfunctional Gene Y d. Liver: Nonfunctional Gene Y; Brain: Nonfunctional Gene Y
