Compose a short (1.5 – 2.5 page) essay explaining one common alteration in vision and one common alteration in hearing. You should briefly describe the pathophysiologic changes, prevalence, manifestations, and treatment for each. You should also explain the mechanism that the specific treatment uses to return a normal functioning state. You may select a disease process from the book, but will need to use additional resources to provide all the information required for the essay.

These questions refer paper of "Mechanisms of haploinsufficiency revealed by genome-wide profiling in yeast(Deutschbauer et al., 2005)"
The yeast genome contains a single gene for ribosomal protein 24 of the 40S ribosome (gene is designated RPS24); it is located on chromosome IV. How many copies of this gene are present in:
A haploid yeast cell?
A tetraploid yeast cell?
A diploid strain that is monosomic for chromosome IV?
A homozygous deletion strain that includes the entire RPS24 locus?
A haploid strain in which the RPS24 gene contains a small deletion?

Erythromycin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, by binding in front of the A site on the 50S subunit of a ribosome.
Why is Erythromycin effective against bacterial infections while causing minimal side effects on human cells?
Group of answer choices
1Bacterial ribosomes are 80S; cytoplasmic ribosomes in eukaryotes are 70S (so the drug will only target the bacterial ribosome)
2.Bacterial ribosomes are 70S; cytoplasmic ribosomes in eukaryotes are 80S (so the drug will only target the bacterial ribosome)
3.Erythromycin targets both bacterial and human cell structures
4.Human cells do not have cell walls
Which of the following processes is directly inhibited by this drug?
Group of answer choices
replication
translation
transcription
horizontal gene transfer

B.
Heat shock
C.
Nutrient availability
D.
Nitrogen deprivation
E.
None of the choices are correct
2. Predict the outcome of the removal of the N form the DNA sequence of the (lamda) phage:
A.
Lysogenic cycle will be induced
B.
Entry into the bacterial host will be blocked
C.
Antitermination will be affected
D.
Transcription form the left promoter will be interrupted
E.
Antitermination will be affected and transcription form the left promoter will be interrupted
3. Which of the following is a possible mechanism for the action of NusA in termination?
A.
It binds to the RNA polymerase causing it to stall.
B.
It stimulates termination at intrinsic terminator by facilitating hairpin loop formation
C.
It binds to NusB to promote detachment of the RNA polymerase for the DNA template
D.
It interacts with S10 to promote dissociation of the RNA polymerase
E.
It binds to the RNA polymerase causing it to stall and it stimulates termination at intrinsic terminator by facilitating hairpin loop formation

Use the following information for all questions in this exercise.
Protein information:
TEVP: Extinction coefficient: 32,290 M-1cm-1, MW: 28.6 kD
GFP-POI: Extinction coefficient: 63,300 M-1cm-1, MW: 65.9 kD
GFP: Extinction coefficient: 30,430 M-1cm-1, MW: 32.1 kD
POI: Extinction coefficient: 32,850 M-1cm-1, MW: 33.8 kD
A protein sample of 10 mls, A280 0.655, containing a His-tagged GFP-linked protein with TEV site was treated with 50 ?ls of 1 mg/ml His-tagged TEV protease, then applied to a Ni-NTA column. We will assume that the TEV protease was complete with its reaction. The following represent the pooled fractions from each elution.
Initial flow through + 2 mls column wash: 12 mls, A280 = 0.283
Remaining column wash and low Im buffer had no significant absorbance
High Im buffer: 6 mls, A280 = 0.534
Questions:
1) What is the amount of GFP-POI in nanomoles?
- I know we use Beer's Law; however, I do not know what absorbance value we should be using.
2) What is the amount of TEVP added in nanomoles?
3) What is the concentration of the POI (in mg/ml)
4) Based on this concentration, convert the POI to nanomoles and compare to the amount of GFP-POI. If they are the same, then we can assume the initial pool of GFP-POI was pure. If they are different, then there must have been an impurity present. Is your sample pure? Answer yes or no:
5) What is the absorbance due to TEVP in the pooled fractions that contain it?
*Note: More info on topic - High imidazole buffer should elute both GFP and TEVP.
Please help, and thank you!

Colorblindness is an X-linked recessive trait. Let us assume that a colorblind man has a colorblind sister and his mother has normal vision.
What is the genotype, as to color vision, of this man’s mother and of his father?
What kind of color vision will his sons and his daughters have, and in what ratios, if he marries a woman identical in genotype to his mother?
