Explain how Agrobacterium, CRISPR-Cas9, and RNAi are all used to
genetically engineer plants for our benefit. What are some
applications of these strategies? What are some causes for
doubt?
Genetic variation is essential for plant breeding. What are the
main causes of genetic natural variation in plants? Describe at
least three possible mechanisms for genetic natural variation to
arise naturally, and how they occur.
Explain why DNA is the ideal genetic material. That is, explain
how DNA uniquely fulfills these properties of the genetic
material:
Stores information securely
Is replicated accurately
Genetic information can be used
Genetic variability occurs so that species can evolve
Explain the meaning of genetic code, and describe how the
genetic code functions.
a. Explain the one gene-one polypeptide theory.
b. The DNA sequence of a gene determines the sequence of amino
acids in a polypeptide chain. What studies have demonstrated this
relationship?
c. In what molecule are codons found? How many nucleotides are in
each codon? How many nucleotides are available to make up each
codon? How many different types of codons are possible? How many
amino acids are...
1. WHAT ARE STOMATA? WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT TO PLANTS?
2. EXPLAIN HOW THE CHARACTERISTICS OF FUNGI MAKE THEM MORE
RELATED TO ANIMALS THAN PLANTS.
3.DISCUSS THE METABOLIC DIVERSITY OF PROKARYOTIC CELLS.
Q1- Explain how industry uses natural gas (cite a specific
industry example)?
Q2- Why is natural gas projected to become increasingly popular
as a prime fuel source, compared with coal, for electricity
generation?
Explain how Coagulase works and why it’s a virulence factor?
What causes a fever? Why is a fever considered a first line
defense and nonspecific?Give two reasons why you would want a
fever:
Would it be worse to get an infection from: Someone in the
hospital or someone on a bus?
