Write a case study involving a bacterial infection of the circulatory and lymphatic system. Identify the causative organism, name of disease, and put any relevant symptoms in ALL CAPS.

Step 1:

Perform research to find at least two articles on the following topic: “The effects of climate change on polar bear populations”. You must find one article based on primary research and one based on secondary research. After reviewing the articles, recreate and complete the table below which you will submit for feedback.

Step 2:

Write a 1-paragraph summary of the comparison. Which one is the primary source? How are primary and secondary sources different from each other? Similar to each other? How can you tell which is which? You will submit this paragraph for feedback.

• five different eukaryotic species
• For each species:
  • Discuss how to identify the organism. This includes how you could identify it in a lab, or defining visible characteristics.  (2/2, 2/2, 2/2, 2/2, 2/2 points).
    • Consider a physical description (how many legs, type of skeleton, what does it look like, what color is it, what type of hyphae, etc)
  • Describe a clinical disease this organism is responsible for, and some signs and symptoms of such disease, as well as prevention and treatment.
  • Discuss some epidemiological statistics of the disease, or specific economic impact
    • Remember, these must include actual numbers and facts
  • Discuss an organism that could mimic this one, and how can you tell the difference between the two?

Results table

• Graph your standard curve by plotting protein content in the abscissa and absorbance in the ordinate.
• Calculate the protein content of your samples.

DNA replication requires many enzymes to accomplish the process successfully. This results in a replication process that is known to be bi-directional, semi-conservative and semi-discontinuous. You discover a new prokaryotic organism that lacks the gene coding for an RNA polymerase I enzyme, and therefore this enzyme is not made in this species. Additionally, the DNA polymerase III enzyme from this organism lacks any 3’ to 5’ nuclease activity but has 5’ to 3’ nuclease activity. Based on what you know about DNA replication and the functions of DNA polymerase I and DNA polymerase III, discuss the effect of these changes on DNA replication in this organism. Please explain your answer in full.
