Differences between viruses that infect eukaryotes and
prokaryotes. Describe the genome classification of viruses that
infect eukaryotes according to their structure.
Compare and contrast how the initiation complex is assembled in bacteria (E. coli) and in eukaryotes (budding yeast cells). How do the bacterial and budding yeast ribosomes determine which start codon to initiate translation? Include in your description a discussion of the cis-acting elements, trans-acting factors, and energy requirements required for building the initiation complex in each system. The best response for this question will NOT BE A LIST of the requirements. It will clearly COMPARE and CONTRAST this process...
Compare and contrast the structural and functional differences
between the parasympathetic and the sympathetic nervous systems.
Identify an organ that is innervated by both systems and explain
the effect of each system on the organ ?
6. We have successfully edited eukaryotes (human embryos),
bacteria, and viruses using modifications of the CRISPR technology.
What are some positive aspects of this technology?
7. What are your concerns with this technology? Consider:
bioethics, biosecurity, and how can we manipulate organisms to be
greater bioweapons.
