This question is relevant to molecular biology.

When the transcription machinery is compared between prokaryotes and eukaryotes, one finds several similarities as well as many differences. Focusing on each aspect listed below, explain briefly key similarities and differences as specified. Use bullet points to organize your answers and make them clear and short.

1. In both prokaryotes and eukaryotes we find activators, proteins that promote activation of gene

transcription, but there are some key differences between the two systems. Describe some of these main

differences in general terms.

2. Briefly explain some key differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes for how repression of gene

transcription is being achieved.

Question 3: Genetics and molecular biology of sleep: Reverse genetics (starting from gene and progressing to phenotype, such as by cloning a gene and creating a knockout mouse) and forward genetics (starting from phenotype and progressing towards the genes, such as by mutagenesis followed by mapping and gene cloning) are experimental approaches that have been useful in many fields including improved understanding of the circadian pacemaker. Briefly discuss a couple successes of these approaches applied towards understanding sleep, and then...

Biology lab question: 1. Molecular clock data place the evolution of diatoms around the time period following the Permian extinction. One hypothesis is that an adaptive radiation occurred as they colonized new marine niches. Based on what you know about the effects of ocean acidification on the formation of tests made from calcium carbonate and the composition of the tests (cell walls) of diatoms, what is a possible explanation for this diatom “explosion”? 2. what is the distinguishing features of...

Cell Biology Short Answer Question: Phospholipid biosynthesis at the interface between the ER and the cytosol presents a number of challenges that must be solved by the cell. Explain how each of the following is handled: 1) The substrates for phospholipid biosynthesis are all water soluble, and yet the end products are not. 2) The immediate site of incorporation of all newly synthesized phospholipids is the cytosolic leaflet of the ER membrane, and yet the phospholipids must be incorporated into...
