A corn breeder has a plant that is dominant for 4 traits that are known to assort independently (i.e. it’s phenotype is A_ B_ C_ D_). This plant has desirable properties, so the breeder wishes to determine its exact genotype. The breeder performs a test cross and obtains the following results in the F1 generation.

Based on these results, the breeder is confident that they know the original plant’s genotype. Make a hypothesis about the genotype, and test it with a χ2 test. Show this test on a separate page. |

You hypothesize that a group of tolerogenic cells is located in the fetal pancreas.
a. What method would you use to identify their location within the tissue?
b. What method would you use to quantify their abundance in the whole fetal pancreas based on their surface expression of protein A and Protein B and the absence of protein C?

Protein Code: 1CJY which is HUMAN CYTOSOLIC PHOSPHOLIPASE A2.
Please go in depth about what the structural features are of the protein? (primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary)

a. You start a culture of stem cells and you use a protocol to
differentiate them into beta cells. To make sure they are truly
beta cells.
First you want to check whether the insulin gene is expressed at
higher levels in the differentiated vs. the undifferentiated cells.
What methods that we studies would you use and describe the step by
step procedure.
b. Then you want to demonstrate that they secrete insulin when you place glucose in their culture media. What methods that we studies would you use and describe the step by step procedure.
c. Finally, you want to show that inside differentiated cells insulin is located within secretory vesicles and quantify in which percentage of the cells. What methods that we studies would you use and describe the step by step procedure.

list and discuss the management options that a farmer can use to enable the herd to improve its energy intake?
Explain how the composition of milk from a human differs to that of milk from a whale. What are the likely reasons for these differences?
one of the major limitations of a pasture-based dairy system is feed intake. Using the knowledge that you have gained from lectures and the tutorial to describe why this is the case?

When researches incubate whole red blood cells with
lactoperoxidase, hydrogen peroxide and radioactive iodine I 125 and
then separate the proteins in SDS gel, several radioactive lines
are obtained cause iodine binds to prominent tyrosine and histidine
residues outside the cell membrane.
When researches incubate whole red blood cells with galactose
oxidase and reduce them with sodium borohydride that contains
tritium (H-BH43) several radioactive lines are obtained which are
just some of the proteins that have been marked with radioactive
iodine , thus galactose residues stand out of the cell.
a) Explain the difference in the number of proteins obtained in the
two experiments above
b) Why the results of the second experiment do not reflect mark of
all the sugars in the membrane?
c) What results will be obtained if we conduct an experiment
identical to that described in the question but with inverse
vesicles (these are closed vesicles containing all membrane
components but where the outer leaf of the membrane turns inward
and inward leaf outward)?
