Chapter 8, Problem 35P
Summary Introduction

a.

To determine:

The elements that occur in the gene primary transcript or mRNA.

Introduction:

The mRNA also referred to as the messenger RNA are molecules that are responsible for the transmission of genetic information from the DNA to the ribosomes.

Summary Introduction

b.

To determine:

The elements found in the first exon, intron, and the second axon.

Introduction:

The messenger RNA structure consists of introns and exons in the case of eukaryotes. The introns are the non-coding regions, whereas the exons are the coding regions.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.     How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population? Based on your reading of the materials in this unit, what factors can affect fertility in humans?   Explain how each of the factors affecting human fertility that you described can disrupt the human endocrine system to affect reproduction.
Other than oil and alcohol, are there other liquids you could compare to water (that are liquid at room temperature)? How is water unique compared to these other liquids? What follow-up experiment would you like to do, and how would you relate it to your life?
